It's a gray day here in the CSRA.

When I went to the post office, it seemed a bit foggy. I had to run my windshield wipers even though there was no precipitation. Once I turned onto the road where the post office is, the misting stopped.

I ordered a rib eye steak sandwich for lunch from (don't be square, eat at) The Triangle. I drove around town a bit until it was time to pick up my food. I encountered a FedEx truck barreling down a neighborhood street doing about 45 mph. I flashed my lights, blew my horn and yelled at the driver as he went past. The posted limit is 25, and there were children out in their yards. He noticeably slowed his vehicle, but he was approaching a Stop sign, so that was probably the reason.

I'm up, I'm up - maybe four hours of sleep thanks to George FORCING me to order a burrito at one in the morning.

That rascal George.

Watching Wonka. It’s surprisingly good. Not great. The lyrics are a little too Bob Merrill-y for me. “Put some chocolate in your pockelet.”

But a nap awaits.

Although sometimes that style can really work, like elephant and cellophant and others in "King of the Forest" in Wizard of Oz.

"Elephant and Cellophant and Others" - That could be the title of something.

Freddie · « **Reply #99 on:** March 09, 2024, 12:10:25 PM »

Maybe a revue of songs with those kinds of rhymes.

He might worry that you would report him which is somewhat of a reminder to slow down next time. Hopefull you made a difference.

I keep forgetting to ask Keith if he wants to watch this.

The children from next door came over. "Miss Laura, can we bake something today?"

Laura · « **Reply #103 on:** March 09, 2024, 01:27:18 PM »

They went home with warm cookies.

Laura · « **Reply #104 on:** March 09, 2024, 01:28:00 PM »

Thank goodness for cake mixes. You can make cookies with them in a flash. Before the kids get distracted.

Laura · « **Reply #105 on:** March 09, 2024, 01:31:02 PM »

And thank goodness for sales on cake mixes.

I just got a text from the pharmacy saying that adults over 65 are eligible for another covid vaccine.

Laura · « **Reply #107 on:** March 09, 2024, 01:40:55 PM »

Seeing how it's going around HHW at the moment, I may just go get one.

Amen to that. My Dollar Tree often has Pillsbury mixes.

I just tried out my new leaf blower. It works on leaves. It’s ready for the oak pollen, which should be darkening my door step any day now.

I'm glad you have one, DR John G., but I'm also glad that I'm not your neighbor.

Meeting with pianist is over - lasted longer than I thought. Food won't be here until 6:00. Don't know why they're not delivering before that - weird.
