I’m on the road this morning, sitting in a McDonald’s actually, drinking unsweetened ice tea and taking advantage of free WiFi. I wouldn’t want the place to close down just because I took a little time over the Fourth. I’ll be back at my desk tomorrow!

The only time I’ve seen a water glass (and pitcher) at a bedside overnight is in a hospital.
Ghost, I’ve been thinking of a music list for you in the midst of all those women. So far I’ve got Legs, by ZZ Top and Hot Legs by Rod Stewart. Maybe the Villagers will make some suggestions too.
Dear Mark, I would love to take you up on your kind offer. I will noodle around on the family site on Facebook and try to find the picture. Or my cousin could find it, he is well organized.
This is too funny considering just mentioned here, phoning to and from London. My daughter Pat and her husband flew to London a couple of days ago and are now on a walking tour of Cornwall and Wales; all pre-planned and arranged on the Internet. Now I see Pat on Facebook, ARGUING, in a fairly civilized manner, with this same cousin. The one in the old photograph. He is my age and a New Hampshire native with very decided historical and political opinions; well-read and intelligent, too. He sometimes posts controversial stuff just to get people stirred up! Now one of my grandsons has joined the discussion. I am staying out of it as I can see and understand both sides of the question.
Carrying on a transatlantic argument, just so easy now — who’d a thunk it?
‘…sometimes posts controversial stuff just to get people stirred up!’ How odd? Peace,
Just back from my fitness center with Ghost where I am beginning back again on real exercising. Did a mile and a quarter on recumbent bike and ten minutes on recumbent stair stepper. Then a couple of loops around walking track.
Ghost has lost so many inches off his waist just by losing weight, even without exercise. I must confess I have not but neither have I gained at all since he got here. But we can both do better.
So we are committing to both a healthier diet and a real exercise routine for both of us. We will look and feel
Better.
Rod Stewart’s “Hot Legs” would be an excellent theme song for Marie (aka Hot Legs) at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Tulsa. I have to confess I was unfaithful to her yesterday, though. We wanted bánh mì sandwiches from another restaurant after PT; in fact, it is one recommended by Hot Legs, because her restaurant doesn’t make them. We somehow ended up at a different place and decided to try it anyway. (Going to the wrong Vietnamese restaurant is not a problem where I’m from; going to any Vietnamese restaurant is.)
Neither their version of ph? tái or their version of Hot Legs was as good as at my favorite restaurant. Mini-Hot Legs was cute but not nearly as leggy; was wearing slightly longer shorts; and was not as voluptuous, although she was displaying significant cleavage. Anyway, we’re not likely to go back there, but I suppose her theme song could be four bars of “Hot Legs”.
Symbol fail: ph? tái = pho tái
Here’s another for Ghost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_8IXx4tsus
When you crashingly realize just how much you really love someone. Even when you already knew.
Suddenly I’ve got Tina Turner on my mind:

Trucker I thought you meant Tina and her fabulous legs! Ghost does like legs!
Tell Ghost all is not lost. I saw two attractive blondes in sundresses yesterday afternoon.
And a good afternoon Villagers…..
TR, for some reason when you mentioned Tina and after reading Jackie’s posts….that song came to mind
(I’ve made three attempts to send this post and I keep getting URL rejected, keep cutting back on narrative…let’s see if it goes this time)
love to all……..debbe

My alarm has been going off for 42 years with my lady love.
Question for Village. Ghost and I eat out a lot. Because I am a bargain shopper I have always used coupons and loyalty cards a lot.
Ghost just discovered these with me and we are enjoying using them at some pretty good restaurants. The kind where you get free appetizers, deserts, buy one get one free, that kind of thing. They are fun too.
Anyone here indulge in this kind of thing and if so, what restaurants or chains do you like or get e coupons from?
I’m a member of the Landry club. They give birthday bonus and cashback rewards for dollars spent. They have a pretty good list of restaurants and locations. Not sure specifically how many in east Oklahoma, but probably Tulsa and certainly in OKC.
David I saw Landrys on the lists. They use that card of theirs at hundreds of restaurants they own all over country.
I am from Lafayette where Landrys began with one family restaurant. They exploded in Houston of course.
Ghost and I like the Rib Crib, Miami’s, P.F. Chang, Chile’s and La Madeleine, Abuelos. All have e club memberships with rewards for loyalty and send freebies.
That’s kind of ideas I am looking for. I will sign up with Landrys today.
Our local Applebee’s has a reduced price on appetizers after 9 p.m. I also get offers from Village Inn, IHOP, and Denny’s in my email. (Yep, I’m still a trucker when it comes to food.)
Ruby’s Roost our local coffee & bakery house uses a punch card – so many punches
and you get a freebee.
Our big meal out is Subway.
I think that I have posted the link, but just google ‘Senior Discounts” and you would be amazed at how many discounts that you can get for even being 55+. When I turned 60, so did the added discounts!
I wonder which drug(s) this passenger was on?

What a maroon!
Don’t know the question, but the answer is, ‘Wherever he wants.’ Peace,
