I slept with my windows open last night.  It was rather peaceful.  

A couple of trains blew through town, each time alerting the dogs and cats to get off the tracks by tooting their whistles.

It's oddly comforting.  It's also a blast from the past as I have distinct childhood memories of hearing the trains go through this town.

Embrace it!

Relish it!

Enjoy it!

Have a great day, all and one!

DR Ron Pulliam, did you remember your camera? Take photos of the cemetery. Old cemeteries are swell places -- so peaceful. Is there a pond with ducks or geese?

Belatedly, favorite Herman songs are "Time Heals Everything" and "Put on Your Sunday Clothes", plus Song on the Sand; I was driving my mother back to Mass. from Fla back in the 90's and noticed the Kleenex had come out. Song on the Sand was on the radio, and it reminded her of. when my father was courting her, going to New Hampshire beaches. But they were happy tears....Dvd will be '36 SHOW BOAT, which I taped last night. Car Cd was Pet Clark en francais, now some Mozart, and tonights flick in Ann Arbor will be LUST CAUTION

Friday morning greetings!

Happy Birthday(US) to DR Tomovoz.

Media report:

CDs(car) - Josh Groban's Noel (a birthday gift from my sister) and Handel's Messiah.  Last night, while trimming the Christmas tree, I was watching the local cable broadcast of our civic chorus' performance of Messiah, which took place earlier this month at the church we used to attend.  The soloists and chorus sounded great, the church looked beautiful, but the orchestra was AWFUL!

DVD - La Vie en Rose

DR Elmore - {{{{{Hugs}}}}} - yesterday would have been Harriet's 91st birthday, so we're experiencing similar feelings.

On my GaGa's birthday, I do my best to be nice to everyone I encounter and be positive and not say negative things about people.

It was very rare of her to get perturbed and even rarer for her to say anything about it. If someone was annoying her (like a bad driver) she always had some funny or off the wall name she called them, which ended up making us laugh.

And what is DR Elmo up to this a.m.   No doubt dreaming of "Toyland".

I just put the laundry into the washers after an hour at the ridiculous 10024 Planetarium Station, which is living proof that as the US Postal rates go up, the service and competence decline.  I got there at 8 am to find too many people ahead of me with lots of packages.  My goal was to post one package outside the USA and then go to the automated postal machine to send off around 10 other packages.  So, there's already a line and only one postal clerk working, naturally, so we wait and wait, and the idiot woman two people ahead of me screwed up something amongst her 10 packages and had to return to the window while we waited as the clerk redid EVERYTHING!  After 20 minutes, I posted my one parcel and then had to wait another 10 minutes for the automated postal machine since by that point the post office was packed.  My 10 packages would have gone faster had the machine not been semi-damaged and the button to be pushed on the screen were working only sporadically.  I know the people waiting for me at the automated macine to get-the-hell-finshed-and-outa-there! were glad to see the end of me.

DR Laura, one benefit of living across from a beautiful Catholic Church is that, while I'm not Catholic, it's a great place to go in and say a prayer or some time in spiritual contemplation.  I will go over shortly and pray for my dad.

Of course, finding something "to say" would have been the big challenge since all I had done since my short message yesterday afternoon was unpack and nap.

Still....my mom fried chicken for supper!  Yessirree...my mom's fried chicken!!!!

And we had potatoes and green beans and cooked applies and wheat rolls.

And there is a rum cake with my name on it that hasn't YET been sliced because I made a p-i-g pig out of myself with the fried chicken.

Cooked applies ... hmmmm, don't think I've ever had fried applies (probably never will).  Do applies grow on the ground or in trees out there -- or are they man made, processed something or others DR RonnieP ?

Just joshin' -- glad you're enjoying your vacation, Mr. P, You've been like a giddy school girl ever since you started packing for the trip -- you so silly (me love you long time!)

Grrrrrr! When I finish wrapping the presents that means I have to fo to the PO to mail them. I really HATE that place (so I'm always in 100% agreement with bk's rants about that topic).  It's run by the Snail People (i.e. Slugs!)

I need Ga-Ga, DR Edi, with me to come up with some appropriate names for them and the equally slug-like critter customers. When you're waiting .... and waiting .... at the PO, you definitely need some laughs...

Today one of our recent serial killers is sentenced for the first crime attributed to him: raping two sisters at gunpoint.

The PO needs an express lane for simple, plain vanilla mailing or buying stamps -- no looking through ALL the stamps in the drawer to pick out the prettiest ones allowed, no slips to pick up something that gives the PO teller an excuse to go in the back and never return allowed, and no mailing of packages/envelopes that require a lawyer present to complete the paper work that is usually in triplicate -- just a simple hand me a book of stamps and here's the money, or mail this package and here's the money, done, I'm out of here....

and it might help if they had all the little booths open, instead of only one or two when the line is out the door -- the PO is worse than the DMV (well... maybe it's a toss up)...

I mailed my packages at the do-it-yourself stand in the lobby.

The want ad for those places must read:

1. Slug-like people only need apply.

And the job description is simply:
1. No quick, efficient behavior allowed.
2. Require frequent on-the-clock breaks.

That's the rub -- our PO does not have a do-it-yourself stand (that would be too efficient and speed things up, heaven forbid!). There is a little window for quick pick-ups and buying stamps -- it is never open (even during its posted hours of operation).. go figure...

Good morning!

Another simply gorgeous day here with not a cloud in the sky as I'm typing this. Still warmer than usual, but will probably not get out of the 60s today.
