Hello. I hope you are having a reasonable HUMP DAY. What a difference in the weather of 9 hours. 13*F with a wind chill of -7*...... and some snow. Not a lot. Just to remind me I am not in Kansas anymore. Odd thing yesterday. I went out for a walk to some little park with a pond and such. Took some pics. I got home to find out the second half of the shoot was gone. This never happened before. And it is too bad because that was the best of them. I will never get those pics again as the weather was perfect. Sixty and sunny. And now this! Now one could say this is the last day of February, but it isn't! They gave us one extra day of winter this year. I suppose it could be worse. I could be on Jupiter. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Heading to 61* by 1 PM and then it starts dropping to 13* by tomorrow morning with some snow, not much by early tonight. It must still be winter. The weather has gone crazy including what the Atlantic Ocean could do. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Good morning. Good to get the weekend over with and get on with reality. 20* now and heading to the 60s later. However, going back to cold weather later in the week. Comparatively speaking, this has been a warm winter with not many days at zero. Someone down the street told me we are going to zero in the next ten days but I do not see it. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Warmer today. Starting off at 37* heading for 54*, or something like that. The Moon is really bright but it looks so far away. I wonder if that company was able to get the lunar vehicle back on its right side after falling. I wonder if it happened like what happened to this writer. Probably not. No sidewalks up there........ nor trees. I miss my walk in the middle of the night. Nothing planned for today except a walk later. Yesterday the walk was cold into the wind. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Saturday. Agenda today: Walmart at 6 AM, chocolate milk and a couple of other things. Church in the late afternoon. Other than that, I like to call it playing it by ear. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Hump Day. I completed all of the mind numbing stuff yesterday with the bank and government. I then got my mind straight with a nice walk in the sunshine. About 5 miles which did tire me out. When I did it at night it did not seem tiring. I must be a night person. Nothing planned for today, maybe church. I do have an oddity with my printer/scanner. In two of my computers, I can not get them to recognize the printer. I only use it for scanning so not a major loss. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. I am planning a day dealing with the banks and something the government wants me to do, their way. I am hoping I can do it my way. So be it! At least it will be a nice day with temps rising to 50* and people who make their living with winter suffering. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Presidents Day. No mail or banks in colonies today. To top this off, it seems I get letters for something on Friday and Saturdays where I have to wait until Monday to do something. And now another delay. Humbug! Now I have another day to be bothered waiting to see what I can do about something official! Once again I say to you, HUMBUG! Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Warmer this morning, 28*F, heading to 40 today. Nothing to do today. Maybe a walk but who knows! Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Cool one this morning. 11*F feeling like zero. However, going to 33* later. I think I will wait to throw out the water. Church is later in the day so nothing for early this morning. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Friday is here and so is this writer. A day of abstinence and waiting for spring. Burlap is the choice of clothing for today. I may go to church but that is 4 hours away and so the choice is in the distance and one does not have to choose now. Have a day of penance. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Happy FAT TUESDAY, or Shrove Tuesday. People doing buffets, all you can eat; dressing in costume; drinking to excess and needing bail money, etc. All this before having to don clothing made from burlap on Wednesday, ASH WEDNESDAY. Have a fulfilling day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Hello. Monday is here and so is this writer. Nothing planned for today. Maybe having a call with my tax people. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
I'm so over it! When I go to church on a Saturday afternoon, kids will be screaming and running around. I fail to see why these people come to church except to torture people such as this writer. I try to sit in the Mother's Room for quiet and meditation but it is no use. These people seek me out to make my life miserable. I keep thinking I can use this for a penance...... but it never ends. Screaming kids........ and staring at a pious man such as this writer. Is there no end to this!!! I shall use this for prayer and my Lenten abstinence.
Good morning. Happy Saturday. Auditing my refrigerator this morning, there is a glaring weakness of the product in my refrigerator, namely chocolate milk. I think I have enough for today. It shall be a game time decision on when to mount a safari to go out and get a refill. I have also come to the conclusion that my wrist is not getting better and that I believe it is carpal tunnel, or whatever they call it. I have heard of this situation in the past and people going under the knife to rectify the situation. I shall try to avoid that as long as I can function reasonably properly. I imagine everyone is getting pumped up for FAT TUESDAY. I noticed quite a few pages celebrating ASH WEDNESDAY. My understanding is that Her Majesty will not be having a contest for that. Outside of the job of the chocolate milk and going to church later, I shall be doing nothing. I have toyed with the idea of going to a pancake breakfast at the church tomorrow but then again, I would have to participate in something, and that is not my long suit. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Friday. It is about 41° F and that is the high for the day. The nice weather is coming to an end as far as our warm temperatures go. We will be getting back to normal as the earth is moving away from the Sun. The good temps will return when the Earth gets to the other side of the Sun. My agenda is fluid for today. Looking into a crystal ball, I see myself walking over to the convenience store for bananas. I am on my last banana right now. It looks terrible but the inside will be acceptable. I was hoping that my wrist would return to normal after taking off the sling. There are still some problems. One can only hope for the best. I went to church yesterday and almost turned around and went back home. As I entered the vestibule, I could see the inside of the church and there was someone sitting in my place. As Sheldon Cooper would say, you're in my spot! This is unheard of for a daily Mass. I eventually conquered my feelings of insecurity and went to a different area. I am going to find the reserve signs they use for funerals and hopefully it will eliminate all of my problems in life. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Greetings. Waiting for the rain at 3:45, and it is warm. 44*, heading for 55*. This is bordering on record temps for this time of year. The big project for today, take the recyclables out to the alley, if there is not anything on the TV. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Some pics from the walk yesterday. The one good thing about my changing times to daylight is I can see some things not seen in the dark. Live long and prosper.
Spring is people having the garden up to par.
This will be here all year without taking decor down.
