Want to hear my latest excuse? I brought home the traveler’s crud from New England. I feel awful, thank you. On another, marginally more cheerful note, I also am in the process of phone migration. I have gone from a flip phone, as depicted in the above A&J from 2008, to a modern cell phone. Yes, really. It’s a Galaxy s5, because I know there are those among you who actually would want to know. No, it’s not the latest, but as near as I can tell it does everything but laundry. I figure it’s good enough for me until I get used to it. That is all I am going to say about my cell phone. Or my very bad cold. I hope you have a great weekend! I plan to have a better one.

$5 billion in costs and now up for a minimum bid of $36.4 million? Your Federal tax dollars at work.
Debbe 😉 Here’s one you don’t hear much anymore.

Just helped my daughter with an Intermediate College Algebra assignment.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Fn36l_z3WY
NOT because of the algebra, but because I checked the answer that the online product rejected against a convenient web tool and realized it was correct, so, we requested a similar problem which had the right answer in the database… This is the second time we’ve encountered this sort of thing and we’re only in the 3rd week.
Lying here with very painful knees. Cannot wait to get new ones. Dropped my blood sugar to below 50 tonight from so much walking. It won’t surprise me if I lost weight.
Dickens is crashed on pillow. I am right behind. Dickens, Stella and I have been loved to exhaustion.
Show is over but we are staying awhile. I love this town.
Similar here, Ghost. We woke to news of the first plane, thought “accident”. Turned on tv, soon learned otherwise. Wife was supposed to fly to DC that morning on a consulting job. Agree on finally undestanding my grandparents’ generation’s feelings are n December 7. It was really strange the next week or so, going out at night to see the lone F-16 flying a racetrack over us (we lived in Colorado, up in the mountains just west of the Airforce Academy).
Good morning Villagers…
I too cannot watch footage of 911, husband had some news channel on showing footage…started crying.
Ya’ll have a blessed Monday
GR 😉 some interesting pics through the years….

Going back to sleep and spend day resting.
When I worked for federal government during Vietnam War by day I adjudicated thousands and thousands of casualty and injury cases for civilian employees over 37 countries, I became an expert on war injuries.
There was a huge file cabinet in a corner of the office that contained every civilian federal employees original case file who had been killed or injured in the attack on Pearl Harbor. No one had ever read most since the attack. On my own time I came in early and stayed late, reading and “closing ou” each file individually. Closed out files would then be sent to the federal records center for storage or disposal.
So bizarre, reading Vietnam as it happened and Pearl Harbor from 25 years before. I am glad I read the accounts. I am sorry I sent them to archives. They deserved better.
TIP BlogSpot, better than Melcher’s tiresome phallic gags.

Peace,
I agree, emb, that there’s nothing positive about those gags. Those who see phallic symbols everywhere they look (and insist on informing you) are boring.
Agree, also…least amusing of Melcher’s work.
Good morning Ghost. Have I offended you in some way? I feel ignored and disdained.
Other than that and a blown out left knee I feel pretty happy. Intended to sleep until noon but a room that floods with sunshine and the ocean is hard to sleep im. It’s 7.45 a.m.
Had dinner last night around a roaring fire with two mermaids in tails and little else, wrapped in blankets, a pirate captain, the owner of the classic 36 foot wooden boat next to me and a couple of the show vendors who invited me back to Kalama to stay on their farm instead of the smoky Motel 6 that Elvis stayed in on his way to film movie in Seattle. She said it became a Motel 6 less than a year ago.
This is an interesting town. The restaurant is one of most upscale in town! Seats mermaids but not Dickens on deck. I definately thought of Ghost all during a fantastic spinach salad!
Jackie, was it you or the mermaids who were wrapped in blankets? Sitting around campfire at night was one of my favorite things when going to SCA events.
And the restaurant allowed mermaids but not dogs? Perhaps it was a seafood place? Any pictures of the mermaids for us?
My camera had died but they were part of festival. I will look for photos. I wore a sweater, they had brief bikini tops and tails. The fire was giant firepit with dining seating around. It was seafood restaurants called Doc Martins. I thought of Janis and Arlo entire time I was with mermaids.

There you go Mark my two new mermaid friends. They were cold.
Is this the place? It says Docs Marina, rather than Doc Martin’s.

All right, the catch of the day. Thanks Jackie.
Yes, Hal struck again. Thar is my favorite restaurant for traditional food. I love the Thai restaurants, the noodle house, the Vietnamese, lots of restaurants in historic buildings here.
Wow, Jackie, how’d you know I love a good spinach salad? Oh, you meant the skimpily-clad mermaids, didn’t you? Is it true that Cold + Bikini tops = Pokies?
Ignored and disdained? Hardly. In fact I believe one of the last things I suggested was that you pace yourself and not overdo it. Followed by a series of posts from you that sounded as though you were going like a house on fire. And remember, I’ve been puny lately.
Take care of yourself, lady. As Hannibal Lecter said, the world is a much more interesting place with you in it.
I am resting today, getting hair and nails done. Yes, I am running fast. I promise to rest some. I look tired. I forgot to say my three mail dining companions included two pilots and a pirate. They all agreed you could learn to sail Stella better than me. Not sure about pirate, he was with mermaids.
Male, not mail. Hal is getting weirder. The pirate owned an absolutely beautiful Lord Nelson sail boat, I think between 37 and 40 feet. Heck, he may have been a pirate too.
He sailed this, a Lord NElson 41 like this one. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1660214334290301&id=100009052528502
What I began to say was he may have been a pilot too, not a pirate. He was a pirate already.
Cable tv is out or perhaps my tv was affected by lightning. We had a storm this morning and I went on the front porch to put some ferns out in the rain. I stood there for a second looking at the rain and lightning struck about 100 yards in front of me. I almost went through the front door without opening it. If we have mermaids this must be Arlo & Janis.
