I just mowed the back forty for the first time in...

oh God, if I could even remember, I wouldn't want to say it.

Let's just say it was almost more than the mower, at its usual setting, could handle. And more than I, at my usual setting, could handle. I'll finish that task on the morrow.

Wow. You are lucky the mower did handle it.

Friday evening greetings! We've had a pretty quiet day here. Our big excitement was Richard removing the big bandage wrap from his hand (he was told to do that after 48 hours). He's now allowed to wash the incision and I put a new, less cumbersome, dressing on it.

I bet that felt good.

Well Mr. Personality was in the cage at PetSmart, so Elvis is now in the cage at my house.

He is charcoal gray with a yellow face.....but he so far has been very very quiet.....

I think he will be more chirpy when he gets used to the place. And it's probably the only time in his young life when he has been alone without a bunch of fellow birds around him..... He seems to be about six weeks old and he only arrived at the store this morning - so he may still be a bit travel weary.

I'm pleased you found another pet. Elvis' coloring sounds very attractive. Does he like cherry coke? Probably too soon to tell.

DR JANE that's scary.

It was a good thing we didn't plan to go to the gym today. With all the emails, beginning with the first one Keith send to our neighbors, there were tons of emails to discuss this.

TCB, did you find another CBD product?

Pain begone vibes to you!

The neighbor above us called Keith after another neighbor called her. Where Keith didn't even go to the door to look through the peephole, one neighbor's care giver opened the door to the guy. At least she was able to keep him out.

Who doesn't look outside before opening a door, especially at 5:45 in the morning.

Trader Joe's now has both pumpkin bread and pumpkin bagels -- both GF -- in stock. I bought a loaf of pumpkin bread, but haven't tried it yet.

Vibes to all.

TTFN.

5.99 is outrageous! In the Valley there are, of course, many stations charging exactly that, but an equal number that are anywhere from 30 cents to over 70 cents cheaper.

Still trying to cast this damn duet. What is very clear to me is that I have zero idea who any of these young performers are that are supposedly "known" - never heard of one of them.

Had my pasta thing from Stanley's - very good. No bread. No more food until tomorrow.

Oh, my, Jane, that is one scary story!
Thank goodness you and Keith are ok!

DR Iris · « **Reply #103 on:** September 16, 2022, 05:59:14 PM »

I would never open my door not knowing who was there.

Jane · « **Reply #104 on:** September 16, 2022, 06:00:06 PM »

Thank you DR Iris.

Do you know if he is homeless, and what his mental state was when he arrived at your home?

Jane · « **Reply #106 on:** September 16, 2022, 06:00:53 PM »

The homeless camp in the bushes outside of our bedroom was just as scary, maybe worse because Keith was outside when he discovered it.

The woman who lives there was not happy the door was opened. I doubt that will happen again.

DR Iris · « **Reply #108 on:** September 16, 2022, 06:02:58 PM »

Wait, what?
There’s a homeless camp outside of your bedroom?
I missed that.

Mentally better than the last two homeless people found here. The one that set up a bed, using items from our patios, has had the sense not to return. The other guy keeps coming back even though the police keep sending him away, definitely mental.

The guy today seemed kind of ok, or at least better than some.

A couple of months ago. I might not have mentioned it. Now Keith checks the bushes every morning.

As you can tell there is a bit of a homeless problem near us.

DR Iris · « **Reply #112 on:** September 16, 2022, 06:07:41 PM »

Please be careful.
I’m glad that you have such good relationships with your neighbors.

DR Iris · « **Reply #113 on:** September 16, 2022, 06:08:35 PM »

The bark of a Bernese mountain dog would scare people away. 😉

Alas, we won't be getting one.

Yes, issues here have bonded us.

The homeless situation in this country is tragic.
We really need to do better.

Stay safe.

Keith found the camp the day before we left to visit the kids. I think almost all the people in our building, plus a few in other buildings, checked on our space every day. They weren't going to let anyone camp in those bushes again-lol.

It is. I admit, while my heart goes out to the people I don't want them hanging out here.
