Realizing our error we tried to retreat, but the door locked behind us

But we didn't have long to consider our next move because we were suddenly surrounded by tall men with earpieces and no sense of humor

We were put up against the wall, thoroughly frisked and our bags gone through

Both of us were carrying our study Bibles, ID badges and various convention giveaway stuff so we were given a stern talking to and escorted through and out of the ballroom by men on either side. firmly holding us by the arms.

We were late for meeting the group, but being delivered to the Pastor by Secret Service Agents seemed to override any concerns about tardiness.

I never did get so much as a glimpse of Ford.

Well lunch is over...back to work!

The Fat Orange Baboon threw a fit in court before lunch break. Something just now happened with the judge that no one can explain on MSNBC.

The lawn mower, snowblower, various ladders, gardening implements, summer gazebo, pop up tents and quite possibly Ameila Earnhardt and her plane reside therein

The time I was frisked by, and my bag searched by the Secret Service charged with protecting then VP Gerald Ford

You seem to have interesting experiences that make great stories.

And walked out into the ballroom filled with tuxedos and gowned folks

It must have been a pretty sight.

I expect it got you a lot of attention.

Took my allergy pill at midnight - but this is THE worst allergy season ever. It's half-working and half not.

This morning my brother Mike called. It has been six weeks since his knee replacement surgery.

He asked if I would drive him and wife Faith to the grocery store in his car. And while she did the shopping, he could practice driving around the nearly empty end of the shopping center parking lot.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #111 on:** November 06, 2023, 02:15:39 PM »

He did very well. We drove around for 20 minutes or so and then stopped and parked.

Two young women came out of a nearby PetSmart store. It was very windy. One of the young ladies dropped something and it blew across the parking lot.....probably the length of a football field and into the street.

She finally retrieved it and brought it back to her car. I said: "Nice catch! What is that?"

She waved the bag around and said: "Thanks. It's crickets for my lizards."

Half sweet and half acid.

Oh my.

I am glad your brother did well during his practice drive.

We have never parked in our garage

For a little while, I used my garage for my car when I first moved in to my condo, then it became storage until the beginning of this year when my mom got my garage door and opener fixed (but not replaced) as an early birthday present. After I put all my stuff in a new storage unit, I've been parking my car in it since then.
