It takes longer to put me together in the morning than it does to put Kelly together. We had planned to meet Leslie and Peter at Shop Bike Coffee Roasters this morning but when Peter called saying they would be there in 15 minutes it was not enough time for me to shake myself into gear. Kelly made it though and after coffee and muffins, Leslie and Peter headed off back to Webster New York. (near Rochester) After putting my glass eye in and setting my teeth in place, I strapped on my wooden leg, affixed my hair piece, plugged my lost hearing aids in, reset my heart's pacemaker, took my two dozen prescription pills, and pushed my walker out to the Jeep. I was finally up and ready to go but our company had already got up and went. |

Rains in the night left us with a thick cloud cover making the air sultry and heavy with humidity. Not a breeze stirring, not even a mouse. Pheebs and I in a slight drizzle did manage a walk and later jeeped ourselves around a few damp country roads.

The rest of the day kinda turned into nothing so I didn't do anything, although I should have done something. Oh well, I consider any day I can hold my mind's memory together for any length of time a plus and I consider it a positive day. Whatever day it is today that is................ |

Facebook threw me a memory today from a post I wrote on July 27th, 2009 saying Today's Post Marks My 500th Blog Post. I don't know how this happened but today's July 27th, 2023 post marks my 5,524th post. It's just nuts I guess.  |

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Howard County Police officers still write their reports by hand, and the data is entered later by a computer tech into their database. One theft report stated that a farmer had lost 2,025 pigs. Thinking that to be an error, the tech called the farmer directly. "Is it true Mr. (Smith) that you lost 2,025 pigs?" she asked. "Yeth." lisped the farmer. Being a Howard County girl herself, the tech entered: "Subject lost 2 sows and 25 pigs."-----------------------------------
If you see someone over 40 out in public after 9pm, they 100% for sure took a nap earlier in the day.

Oh such green crops.Beautiful. In the midst of a hot drought, though there are rarely any lush crops around here anytime, it is a pleasure to see. Thanks. And yeah. I don't like to be anywhere earlier than 10 if I can help it. At almost 78, I have become a bt of a slug in the morning.
ReplyDeleteOh Al, your description of putting yourself together this morning had me laughing out loud. Along with being a marvelous photographer, you are a terrific writer.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of 'put-together you'! Lookin' good.
