Seventy degrees!


I'm sure you all remember this fellow.  Saw him on the bridge coming back from my walk early this afternoon.  His vision is completely (ot slmost completely gone now, and I thought maybe he was unaware that the tour boats are no longer going up and down the river so I paused to tell him that, but it turned out that he had and he was just trolling the bridge for people to hit with puns and he hit me up with three of them justlikethat  before I could even say oh.  And by the way orange you glad that  I posted his photo.

Our first seventy degree day and I couldn't wait to get out in my t-shirt and shorts. and of course my mask.  These things are not going to be so much fun when things get hot and sweaty, but it was okay today, but I was missing something, and then I realized it was fresh air.  I pulled it down when there was nobody near me and pulled it back up when others neared, and I soon realized they were doing the same.  It was kind of like the 50s where people driving the same sports car waved at each other as they passed, or so I heard in Playboy, I mean or so I heard that they said in Playboy.

My sister goes to those early bird hours at the supermarket and they are crowded.  Myself I go noonish and it's not bad.  We had a big campaign to get rid of plastic bags and started charging seven cents each.  To avoid paying that outrageous fee most people got into carrying their NPR tote bag to the store, but now I've heard they don't like dealing with our germ-laden bag so now I buy their bags.

Nice photo Sadie, of that very nice park that I remember so well (I once told young Jim that there were bears in there, but I think Gumbah set him straight).

  1. I do remember him! Amazing to see he is still alive and kicking.

    It is still in the 60's here today, but warming up for the weekend.

    They won't touch our germy bags at the grocery store. Everybody started bringing their own when California banned the plastic bags, but no more. At first, they would let you bring them if you bagged your own groceries, but now I think they are actively discouraged it. They have, however, stopped charging for their bags - at least most places have.

  2. I use paper bags and the self check-out lane if there is one. Our cloth bags are put into the laundry as soon as they are used.
