Bored and Boring

I'm writing a lot because my usual routine is disrupted. My best friend left on a trip to Michigan and Canada. Our four times a day phone calls are on hold till she returns. As an aside, I heard on the news that travelers have to show a birth certificate to cross the Canadian border nowadays, and beginning the first of the year, you'll have to have a passport.
Cousin Ellie is tied up with major responsibilities, so I don't have a traveling buddy for now. Yesterday I made the 50 mile round trip to the Pizza Hut and enjoyed that. Sunny, blue skies, lots of birds singing this morning, which is heartening. Their silence recently was ominous.. so much habitat is being destroyed with deforestation I was really concerned.

Well folks, we're in the middle of our bi-annual love bug infestation--they splatter into glue-y clumps on the windshield and front end of your car. Clouds of them swarm over the highways, and around doorways, so it's exit and swat. Pesky critters.


I was listening to Mississippi Public Broadcasting, our arm of NPR and heard French Suite # 5, by Bach. This is the piano composition Hannibal Lecter listened to while locked in his cage, being guarded by two armed policemen. Lecter listened to Bach as he plotted his fiendish, cleverly diabolical escape plan.
Well, on to doing the laundry..I'm bored and boring.
Bye y'all, susil

Tell her to say hi when she gets here! I thought we needed passports to go to Canada now. I've been missing my trips to the bed and breakfast and quilt shops. Maybe I'll go and do that.

I see on the NOAA maps that your part of Mississippi is in the warning zone for Ike's winds and rain. Just hoping you will not be hit too hard. Stay safe, dear Sue!

Friendship like you have is so precious and rare. How great it is!
Here by Lake Erie we have May flies that appear in huge clouds for their very brief life span, covering sidewalks and walls and getting all over along the lake shore. A real nuisance for folks, but a feast for the birds and fish.
Isn't NPR just the best?!

I hate sticky bugs. In the butterfly migration out in California I drove to San Francisco and back one week. The tiny butterflies were everywhere in the central valley and Route 5 was a haze. You can't avoid them when it happens. There are trillions of them everywhere. When I got back to LA my white car was two-toned yellow. I had to use gasoline to get it off.

You are a lot of things, Suse, but, as Jeri, said, you are never, ever boring!!
