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!
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!
Good morning. There is fog outside the fortress. About 37* but no wind so the walk went well. I am planning an outing to Walmart around 6AM, give or take 39 seconds. Emergency. Then to the gas station for some potatoes, and while there, some fuel in the auto. Maybe Church though Thursday is not my best day for that during the week. It is garbage day so don't forget to put out the garbage. I am not officially participating. I was discreet earlier when I did my exercise protocol. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Voting experience this morning: It was raining. The parking lot was full denoting a crowd. Never happened to this voter before. There were people standing outside in the rain. I was allowed in as I knew my precinct. I thank the nuns at the school for teaching this student how to read. Waiting in line is unusual for this writer when voting at this place. Then......... the voting machine broke down. We then had to write our choices on a black board and the staff copied it and called it in. Then........ decided to go to church and I found my priest is not back and the priest who likes to talk is there. I am now in THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE for the day.
Good morning. Voting today in the Colonies.Taxation without representation is tyranny. The end of political commercials. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Sunday. It is raining, and somewhat heavy. Not pouring but enough I got soaked on the walk this morning. Nothing else planned for today, outside. I have been cutting the bush in the back. I would like to get it down to nothing but I have no way of getting rid of the debris. Temperature: 46*/51*. This could be worse. It is November and it could be snow. I forgot to set the time on the cameras for standard time so that is the project for today. Have a good day and don't dance in the rain. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Saturday. About 37* this morning. It felt damp. Going to 59* later. All Souls Day. It is also called THE DAY OF THE DEAD. Of course so was yesterday but since it was a Holy Day, why think of that. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. ALL SAINTS' DAY, It is the anniversary of my retirement. I shall be going to the Cathedral for church in about an hour. I usually don't get down there but the time of the Mass is better today. 33* this morning on the walk. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. 71*/72*. Last warm day in my colony. Then the ice age. Usually lasts about 20 years where I am. Yesterday it was 81* so I went out and about, but, and there is always a but, one has to be careful of the leaves if they get wet while tooling (great word from the 1960s) around on a motorcycle. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. 65*/81*. This is unbelievable for this time of year in my backyard. I have been informed of the massive destruction of my wallet by the auto repair and furnace repair people. Of course the furnace broke down on a Sunday. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
