Something You Don't See Every Day

 I was waiting to turn in the corner liquor store yesterday to get a bottle of wine for dinner, and as I was waiting to pull into the drive-thru, a guy on a scooter turned in and got in the drive-thru line.  I kept looking at him, and then finally realized it was a childhood friend that lived in the subdivision across the road from us.  He is probably my age now, maybe a year or two younger.  Anyhoo, seeing someone on a scooter in a liquor store drive-thru is definitely something that you don't see every day. 

Apologies

 I apologize for not posting the past few days. There's no real reason, other than whenever I thought about posting I got sidetracked.  

Flashback Friday

 Tomorrow is the annual Thunder Over Louisville - supposedly the world's largest fireworks show and air show. For those of you faithful readers not familiar with this, it is the big kick off for the Kentucky Derby Festival.  For those of you faithful readers that know me well, you will remember how I would get so stressed up on the Friday before Thunder. For quite a few years, some School Friends and I would get to Slugger Field early Saturday morning and go to the Bats baseball game and then enjoy all of the goings on down on the water front until it was time for the fireworks.  

On Thunder eve, I would be stressed over making sure we had plenty of snacks and more importantly beverages to take.  I would also stress over the weather.  I would stress over finding an available parking spot in the lot next to Slugger Field.  And most of all, I would stress as we fought the massive traffic jam getting home after the fireworks ended.  But now I am stress-free. I would guess it's been over ten years since I went to Thunder. And I sure don't miss it at all.  

Thursday Frustration

 For the past two days, I've been dealing with Walgreens about a problem with one of the Old Man's prescriptions.  It too two days and 4 phone calls, but I am happy to report that the issue has been taken care of for now. 

Stay tuned. 

Second Chances

 On my way home from my Bible study today, I took another indirect route to get the Old Man his apple fritter.  As I was waiting at a stoplight to get back on the the Expressway, I noticed a Norton's Medical Transport van in the lane next to me.  This intersection was by a small airport called Bowman Field - where lots of small and private planes come and go.  As I saw the Norton's van, I couldn't help but think - maybe they came from Bowman Field after getting an organ that was flown in from one of the many private planes there, and that organ would give someone a second chance.  I couldn't help but pray that if that was the case, that the person receiving the organ would be healed and have a good life.  And that the family of the person that donated the organ would also have a good life knowing their family member helped someone else to live. 

Ohio Valley Weather Update

 I had to run a couple of errands today, and while I was out and about, the humidity was off the chain.  As my grandmother would have said, the air was so close you could barely breathe.  I'm glad I'm back in the house now in my recliner where it is very comfortable.  

Summer Came Early

 As you all well know, I'm not happy in the summer.  Mainly because I like the nice cool air conditioning, while the Old Man gets cold.  So we've tried to compromise.  That having been said, I think summer is here a bit early.  Yesterday it got to 86 here at The Compound, and as I type this it's 83.  The house is still comfortable, I will admit.  Tonight I will open my window and kick my ceiling fan up a notch.  But something tells me we're not done with cooler weather.  

Stay tuned.
