It seems the less money I have, the more I look in travel magazines to plan my dream trips. Here are some of them: Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet, SC at Christmastime, Savannah, GA, Rochester, Vermont, Mackinac Island, Prince Edward Island home to" Anne of Green Gables", Discovery Cove in Orlando Florida, Babylon, Long Island (my hometown), Southern Ireland, and Yorkshire, England.

During the "sign of peace" during church tonite, the couple next to me gave each other a very long romantic touchy-feely kiss. Yuck. I had to look around for other people to shake hands with so I wouldn't feel awkward until they finished.

While driving around town today I saw two pre-teen boys waiting to cross a busy intersection. While they were waiting one of them made a 90 degree bent arm and clenched fist pulling down motion that I reconized as a sign for blow your whistle trucker, pleeeeaaaassssse. It was nice to see, that kids still do stuff like this. I remember when my nephew, who was born when I was still in high school, and was raised for the most part by my parents would do this too . On long trips, he would try to catch the eye of a trucker, pull, pull, he would then motion. Often the trucker would reciprocate. What joy!

Today I also saw girls in front of Hooters hula hooping in their Hooter's outfits.

Yesterday my big lumpy old dog had surgery. She survived.

Mr. Stinky

There was a man that used to come into my work many years ago that we used to refer to as Mr. Stinky. After work this evening I stopped by the grocery store, and out in the parking lot was a large old 8 cylinder type car that I immediately reconized as Mr. Stinky's car. It wasn't just that it was an old car, but the side window was cardboarded, and the rest of the car was filled with what looked to be most of his possessions. Rolls of paper filled the rear window, and the car sagged with the load. I do not know where Mr. Stinky lives, but I believe it is quite possible that his car is his home. I was in the store about 15 minutes when I finally saw him. He was tooling around the store on a motorized cart. I do not know to much about this man, but I remember he did seem to know alot about computers, and he once tried to help me jumpstart my old car with his car/home?

While the dentist is drilling your teeth is is usually not a good sign to hear, him/her say "oh" or "uh oh". I found this out when my dentist finished drilling and said to his assistant, "do you want to tell her". It seems, that if what he did to my tooth doesn't work, my tooth will have to be removed. This was followed by saying something like this, you might be in so much pain you won't be able to stand it, and he proceeded to offer to write me a prescription for strong pain medication. I also heard the word oral surgeon and immediately substituted this $, in my my mind for it. My teeth have been in so much pain the last few months it was truly a relief to know the cause.


Earlier this evening I heard a loud crashing noise in my dining room, a minute later I saw my cat walking across my living room with a slice of pizza in his mouth.
