Now, I'm listening to music - more Previn. First music of the day.

Keith suggested I use the very end treadmill to avoid having anyone behind me.  There was one other person in the row, two treadmills away, so I snagged the end one.  All was good for about 5 minutes when this guy decides he needs the middle spot to jog maskless. 




Why didn’t you ask him to either put on his mask, or change machines?

Someone stole my credit card number and made some charges. At Panera. Three times. If you're going to steal my card number, why would you eat at that place? I won't eat there. That should have been the first clue to the credit card company that the charges weren't mine.


Several years ago we had a robbery at the local Wal Mart.  They shot and killed the Brinks’ guard and stole the money bag.  Later we learned after the robbery of several thousand dollars, the robbers and their molls (girlfriends) went out to dinner at the Red Lobster to celebrate!

I could not believe the robbery, or their choice for dinner.

What I like about Panera: almost anyone can eat there. Vegetarian or carnivore, adults or  kids.

What I don't like: they never, ever, get my order right. Doesn't matter which branch, it's never right.


I have never eaten at one.

I can't. They put unwelcome carbs in everything. The last time I went there, I ordered a steak salad without the dressing. They didn't tell me that they won't do that, so they handed me a salad slathered in the nasty stuff, something supposedly with raspberries in it, but it looked more like red goo, like Big Red syrup maybe. I explained I was not eating carbs and would not eat what they served me because it wasn't what I asked for. That didn't go over well at a bread and dessert place. But at least they did give me my money back.

Yikes!  They wouldn't leave the dressing off??  That's poor customer service...or a really bad policy. :P

I received a strange item in the mail today.  It came in one of those plastic pouches (envelopes) that had been folded over a couple of times to make it even smaller.

It felt like it might have a key chain inside.  I finally managed to cut it open and inside two tiny packets, each one containing a pair of pierced earrings, one pair in each packet.

I quickly checked the address label.  It had my name and address.  The return address was from “Jane,” no last name - nothing.  It was from a P.O. address in Springfield Heights, NY.

My first thought was that Alzheimer’s was starting to rear its ugly head.  My second idea was that I had started ordering things on the internet, while I was drunk.

Was there a label under the label?  That happened to me and the seller (it was an eBay item) just put the wrong label on the package I received.

The only problem was that last time I was drunk, we didn’t have an internet.

You're not missing much.  I'd gone there a couple of times, and I didn't think it was anything special.

Both pairs were very delicate earrings (read cheap).

I did find a company called Jane online that probably sells this s**t, but I haven’t found an address.
