Good morning. Another cool one this morning though it is going to warm to 27* later. I am planning on sequestration for the rest of the day. Have a so-so day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. 9* with a chill of -3*. Good news is we are heading to 23* later. I am pondering going to Walmart when they open. They don't open until 6 so I lie here in limbo thinking of the choices in life. Start of Advent today so it will be getting busier in the stores. Have a reasonable day and stay warm. Ciao for now and watch your wallet! I am still cold from the walk.
Good morning. It is 15* as of this typing. Heading to 20* later. Fortitude was the word this morning on the walk. 1* chill, and it felt like it with the wind. A couple of times I felt like turning around and returning to the fortress. Church later. Nothing else planned. I hope your Black Friday shopping went well. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Good morning. Happy Black Friday. People are not as excited as in the past when some people at Best Buy would be in a tent 3 or 4 days before the event on the sidewalk. Now people use their computers to shop. The glory is gone. Even now, some stores come out before opening and on a limited quantity, they hand out tickets for the item to the first 25 people, or whatever. The thrill of rushing into the store and engaging in a fist fight or trampling someone is not there. The good old days.......... The walk this morning was cool to say the least. 19* with a chill of 4*F. Tomorrow should be single digits and it is not even winter yet. Brings back the memories of 2017, December, the furnace breaking down and the furnace authorities informing this writer he needs a new one. It still took me almost a year to pull the trigger and have it done. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Thanksgiving. I trust you recovered from BIG WEDNESDAY. I got an early start on the walk this morning. 2 AM. It was cold even though it was in the 20s. Maybe the moisture, and the wind. It really seemed cold walking north into the wind. I decided to go to Walmart for a piece of ham. As I neared the destination, the store was dark and the parking lot empty. It was closed!!! I thought of going on their website last night to see if they were abandoning all of the customers but time passed and so did the thought. I ended up going to a different store, and instead of getting the ham, I opted for a fresh pork loin filet, dry rubbed with garlic and herb, but it will take 1 hour in the oven. Ordinarily I do not like to do extensive cooking, but so be it. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. It is 20* with a windchill of 11*F. I think it is supposed to get up to 34* later. I have not seen the sun in a long time and fear it has thrown the Earth out of the rotation and we have become a rogue planet hurtling through space at two hundred thousand miles an hour. It felt cold this morning. Fortunately I dressed for it. I am thinking of going to Church this morning. Game time decision. If I do, I shall most likely go to the store. Have a reasonable day in this ice box. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Happy Black Friday week to those who are alive. I have put the bike away as the temps will drop into the teens and we are getting the wintry mix. I used to wait for the snow and ice to retire the bike but I am getting soft. It is still 40* as of this typing however, this is it. Will not warm for the next 20 years. The walk was good this morning. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
I give you 19 years old, with Hoagy Carmichael on the keyboard. Memories of things that were.
Good morning. And......... happy Thanksgiving week if you live in the thirteen colonies of the New World. I felt myself coming down with a cold or something this morning and had to use an electric cattle prod to get myself out the door for my exercise. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Hello. 40* on the walk this morning. No slippery spots, so a pleasant walk if not for the wind. There will be no sun today as I suspect something happened to the sun. Maybe it was hurled out of the solar system by some mysterious happening. Going for a high of 42*. I did make an unexpected cameo at Walmart yesterday.... in the afternoon. I wanted to see how the other people lived and exceeded expectations. Nothing planned for today. I am mulling going to church but that will be a game time decision in 2 hours, give or take 37 seconds. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. JFK Day in my house. I remember exactly where I was at when I heard it and who told me. There is some mystery as to how this guy found out though. Of course to make it more eerie, the guy was a twin.
Good morning. 30* but felt cold; windy; somewhat slippery so a slow walk. I probably will be idling the rest of the day in the house with a chance of a constitutional around the neighborhood to address the neighbors that I still exist. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. 37* this morning and it will not be much higher than that. I think 39*. We had a day in the 50s so we will do that until Spring. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Yesterday, an unpleasant surprise. Chocolate milk price was increased. I did not notice it until I was checking out. I always do self-service as I do everything individually for the sake of my bank. I had to go twice to Walmart. I somehow was ahead of schedule because of the early start and arrived at the store at 5 AM instead of 6 AM. So the price increase was one more thing in life to worry about for 5 minutes. It rained all night but stopped by the time of my departure for the exercise protocol. I got out a little before 3:00 AM. It had warmed up to 58* so I was over-dressed since it has been in the lower 30s. No rain but it was misting on and off the last mile and a half of the journey. I got into the house and it started raining hard, however it did not last long. I think it is going to end in one hour. I have nothing planned for today, maybe church. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Greetings. Yesterday the cable went off during the game at a most untimely manner, the end of the game where it was being decided. No phone, cable or internet. I am preparing for an emergency trip to the store this morning. I got an early start for the walk at 2AM. It was 32*, but there was no wind. Fog started rolling in at about 3AM. I have nothing planned for the rest of the day. Have a reasonable day Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
My priest had been on vacation and he had a replacement. This guy can talk too long and his singing is like Jingles P Jones. Yesterday, for some unknown reason, he let the replacement priest say Mass even though he was there. I suffer in the Colonies.
Greetings. Serious case of Stockholm Syndrome. We are all in our private traps.clamped in them and none of us can ever get out. We scratch and we claw, but only at the air, only at each other. Sometimes we deliberately step into those traps. I was born in mine. I don't mind anymore. Of course, if I did, then we don't have a movie.
GOOD MORNING. There is a little wind out there but fortunately it is 38* where I was not too cold. The wind only affected me about the last three quarters of a mile. Heading to 50* later. Nothing planned for today, maybe church. Yesterday there was frost on the windows so I had to go out and warm the car up to be able to drive. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Greetings. 28* this morning and it felt like I was in a freezer. Fortunately, there was no wind. I will need a trip to Walmart today. Maybe church. I will need to go out and start the car to defrost the windows. Such is this time of year on the dark side of Mercury. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. It is Veterans Day in the Colonies today. No mail, mostly no banks, and no pornography. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
