Good morning. Preparing to get some bananas. It is the Easter Vigil which means a long church service for this writer. Whatever happened to the simpler times. And of course it does not start until 8:30 PM. At least I do not have to wear burlap and that sort of thing. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Tonight starts the Easter Triduum in the North. Cold this morning but still above the teens which psychologically makes the difference. I intend to attend Walmart this morning. Not mandatory but a social event to see people saying things without doing it electronically. My problem is I usually go too early to get the most of the people. It will be a game time decision. I am also bummed out at not being able to read the local newspaper anymore as they have caught up with everyone and are demanding payment. A password stands in the way of enjoyment. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Raining this morning. 45* but will be cooling down all day and the rest of the week will be in the 20s and 30s. The snow is gone........ for now. Yesterday I went out for a walk. Reasonably warm at 40*. However, when walking on a couple of main thoroughfares, cars and trucks would come by and hit the puddles and splash me, or come close. A good workout. Uncertainty surrounds my status for today. Will be playing it by ear. I may go to church in about 3 hours. Since the girls moved out of the neighborhood, nothing to look at in the mornings when they would go to work. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet! By the way, Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in Baltimore.
Greetings. I am on Holy Week. Moving right along to Good Friday and then Easter. It is 38* heading to 50* later so hopefully the snow will be gone. After 9 this morning, it may rain. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Happy PALM SUNDAY. I looked out my window this morning at about 4:00 AM. Much to my chagrin I notice snow on lawns and cars. I forgot there was a forecast of some light snow. Now I am completely devastated by reading the forecast of 2 to 4 inches of snow with high winds later today. The concrete is warm and so consequently a shovel is not needed. At least I hope not. I most likely would protest and not shovel anyway. Usually Palm Sunday comes in April and so it is not the everyday weather like we are getting this year. As they like to say on Vulcan, the weather is the weather, what can be done? Of course they say air instead of weather. In either case, have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Saturday. The key to good broccoli is to get it cut up in a bag and not overcook it. Cool this morning. 19*F heading to 38*. Nothing planned for today but church. Maybe a walk later. I hate walking on the weekend during the day. You meet people you know. Church will be a long one. Palm Sunday services. You have to ride an ass (onager) around the parking lot. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. 28*; snow until 10 AM; going to 40* later so maybe it will melt; more of a nuisance than anything; we usually get snow into April; fortunately I have gotten the bike out already to keep the streak intact of being on the road by April 1stmy entire life; got to the store yesterday for a couple of necessities so nothing planned today; today is considered the Friday of Sorrows in some places. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. We have a winter advisory for tonight and into Friday. Snow with accumulations of 2 to 4 inches. Not unusual. Last year, we had snow on April 16th so I was expecting this. Yesterday I had trouble with the car and took it into the repair shop and they told me it was nothing major and did not even charge me. Just some inconvenience and trauma. Whenever something like this happens, I have to use context and think of people with real problems. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. 31* heading to 35*. Spring has sprung. Nothing on the agenda. Maybe church and a walk but that would be about it. Sometimes on the walk, now that I do daylight, I run into one of the neighbors who says hello or gives me the finger. I did the Walmart yesterday for chocolate milk and a couple of other things only to find out the regular milk in the refrigerator was bad. So now what!!!! I shall contemplate.
Good morning. I will have to make it to Walmart, either at 6, or 8, depending on the fates. I miss the 24/7. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Monday, a time of exuberance. Weekend over and back to reality and real life. 25* this morning, but I do not hear the wind. During my walk yesterday, the wind and cold were so bad I was glad to get it over with. Some guy was walking down the street with a blanket on to protect his face. Last night before retiring, I had an imaginary cough, the cough was real but I thought it was the end of the world. It wasn't. In either case,I may pass on the walk today, at least until later. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Saint Patrick's Day. It is rather cool this morning. 30° heading for 35°. It was a windy night so I imagine it made it cooler outside with the windchill. In either case, the day moves on. I have discovered that Saint Patrick was not Irish. I always hate it when people claim a citizenship they are not entitled to. I suspect that he was actually a citizen of New York City. At one time I saw a picture of him wearing New York Yankees attire. I would like to test him through Ancestry. Have a good day. Drink some green milk. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Saturday. 49* and this is it for the high. I am planning on going for a walk at about 7 AM and church later. Outside of that, things are fluid. At times, when lying in bed in the darkness, I wonder what would have happened to Italy if some nutcases did not kill Julius. How would the world be today? Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
