This Oughta Be Good

It does look very nice inside, and the prices sound reasonable compared to a lot of the places you've told us about. First thing that popped into my head: 'wish I was there.'

I can just imagine. The other day I solved some nagging computer problem that had to do with a printer, and I said out loud "I'm marking today on the calendar - something finally went right."

Bring it on! So far it's been a blur for me, but I keep thinking I'll take it easier in August.

Use the remote to lock all the doors. Press that button on the remote for starting the car. It starts, and then when you get to it, use the remote to unlock the door and get in. I had that feature on a pickup for awhile.

Oh, THAT pinkish-orange hair.

I've observed that some dogs know how to approach a cat in the house - and some don't. As to the cats, one never knows, they might think it's interesting to have an old dog around. To you.

Our new society order is hooliganism, and even worse, I'm half expecting a certain presidential candidate to dismiss it with some kind of a bad joke.

Rex is such a card.

No carrot cake on the menu?

Having been there, it's really nice. I can never get enough of the beautiful desert vistas.

I always worry that I'll hit one of my other cars when I'm backing around in the driveway. The truck has a backup camera and beeper things that seem much too sensitive, and I miss that a little bit when I'm driving the car, which is most of the time. I have often wished we could switch the backup camera on when we are driving forward in order to get a second look at the scenery we've just passed.

For awhile, I thought I would start a list to keep track of which page in each book it became clear where the book title came from. A second list would be the books where that exact phrase is never used in the book. I mostly read e-books now, but still think about when I'd turn a page in a real book, and the way the spaces between the words lined up on the page make a vertical winding path down the page, in the style of Lewis Carroll's The Mouse's Tale in one of the Alice in Wonderland books. In theory, it could happen on an e-reader, but I haven't messed with font size etc. to try to get it to happen.

It's still practically winter here, not even considering tomatoes planting yet.

It's heartbreaking, isn't it?

According to what we know, I'm Irish/English/Scottish/German. A hematologist told me that the sort of blood cell anomaly that I have is usually only seen in people with African heritage. Talk about 'don't tell my mom,' but it's okay with me.
