Good morning. Happy HUMP DAY. I went out for the walk this morning to a pleasant 50*. The high is heading for 77* so it should be a nice day to sit in the house on the computer keeping track of the Court TV cases and sports talk shows. On the walk this morning, I mused about the absence of the newspaper carriers and how I had to be vigilant of their vehicles coming down the street and putting this walker in danger. I like to walk in the streets. Some of them would even acknowledge this walker. They helped break the monotony of the walk of the miles of empty streets and the thought of ever seeing home again. In modern times it has been adults doing the deliveries but in my earlier times it was the kids doing it. In 20 years people will not even remember the paper being delivered to the door of the reader. A bygone time which I miss already. I am glad I am retired because I do not know how I would get along without the paper at work, or if I stopped at a restaurant for breakfast, how could I eat??? Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Dear Diary, I forgot to tell you the other day that I was walking early in the morning and all of the lights were off in the parking lot of Walmart. It is the first time I have ever seen that. It is also a place that semi trucks park so drivers can sleep. And also some campers that are passing by. This morning everything seemed back to normal. One time I was going past the parking lot and the grassy knoll divides the sidewalk and the parking lot and a grill was sitting there. I assumed it was some camper or maybe even a truck driver, who was grilling and left the grill overnight to cool off and forgot it in the morning. When I went by the next night, it was gone. One can only imagine what the situation was with that! I'm currently in my situation of trying to find out if one of the foods I am eating is the culprit of my situation where evil meets good. So far, so good. I have nothing planned for today except church later this afternoon. I think today, without looking at the weather site, is the last hot day of the year. I think the highs for the rest of year will be in the sixties. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. The eve of the weekend is here and so am I. Get your good clothing on and head out the door. Have a so-so day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet! Postscriptum: don't be critical of the children for wearing white. This pic was taken the 23rd of July. I know how stern people are on the site for correctness.
Good morning. I was out for the morning walk this morning and the first sign of Halloween. Happy Halloween. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet! Post script: 1st time I saw these people do Halloween.
A semi emergency trip to Walmart, and the convenience store this morning. Has nothing to do with the pics but thought I would give you an idea of the trip up the hill. Lesser people take the ride up the hill but this writer does the walk. I believe the way to heaven is to walk and not take the easy way. Have a good day, and beware the Ides as Julius would warn. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Some pictures from my excursion to another land. I crossed the bridge successfully with no papers. The other pic is a barge pushing 8 containers, I think, through the locks. More on this at a later time. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Happy Sunday. It is about 49°F which is only five degrees warmer than yesterday but it felt warmer than that. I wouldn't go so far as to say I felt like going down the beach and do some dipping in the water but it made an acceptable exercise protocol. I went to Walmart yesterday. Not necessarily on an emergency assignment but there were a couple of items I felt like getting. I then remembered that I had only one egg remaining in the refrigerator and decided on making the purchase rather than having an emergency on Monday morning. The eggs were a prohibitive price, about $3.66 a dozen. The price has risen rapidly in the last couple of weeks. I then noticed an article on the Internet that some chickens had developed Salmonella which I suppose they had to destroy the chickens, and supply and demand could affect and wreck my wallet. In either case, it was about an hour later than I usually go to Walmart and so consequently I was able to view some people there for entertainment purposes. Not as good as the afternoon or early evening but something to do to pass the time and get my money's worth. I shall entertain myself today watching football and trying to get rid of some of the recordings on my DVR so I am not at 98% capacity on Monday morning when my talk shows have to be recorded. Outside of that, I have nothing planned. It is supposed to be warmer today than it was the last couple of days. I believe about 79° F. Considering the high temperatures have only been in the sixties lately, it will be an improvement. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Greetings this Saturday morning. Opening the day at 45*F heading to 68*. Felt somewhat cool this morning on the walk. I got the lawn done yesterday. Hopefully for the final time this year. Nothing planned for today except church later in the afternoon. There was an emergency stop this morning at the convenience store for bananas. As I entered the store I was humming the song about the lack of bananas, YES WE HAVE NO BANANAS, by Louis Prima. I am certain you remember him. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
