Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[Alaskan]

She'll be there after 3 more gray cars drive by... I'd do that for an hour & a half waiting for my mom, before realizing she forgot, giving up & walking home. My kids are lucky I've got a phone with endless alarm settings on it.

Sorry about your jeep. I know your attached to it. I have a 94 Toyota pu like that. I need to just sell it, but cant seem to bring myself to do it.

Ha! On the waiting for my mom.

Yeah .... she was visiting with a friend... and did NOT cut the visit short.

Anyway... when I told @sourland that I hadn't packed a lunch...but I did have money.....

It only THEN dawned on me that my legs are not broken, and I can walk down the road, not that far even, and sit and eat at a restaurant.



I can walk that far.... but I had forgotten that this place was here... it has been a huge number of years since I ate here... maybe 10... there was sand in the salad last time I came..

But maybe after 10years they have gotten better, and learned how to wash produce.

All of the places that I usually eat at are over a mile from the repair place...

 

[Alaskan]

'Al', room thinks your Mom forgot about you. Sorry. Can you start walking home ? Don't take a ride with a stranger.

Ha!

That is what I decided to do... but I went to a restaurant instead of home.

 

[sourland]

A whole mile ? Seriously ? You could run that in ten minutes.

 

[Alaskan]

Oh... they gave me a tiny bit of "breakfast carrot cake" to eat while I wait for my food.

Tasty!

But I went psycho freak.... And ordered a breakfast scramble with sauted KALE and spinach on the side!

I sure hope that
1. I can eat it
and
2. It doesn't kill me

A whole mile ? Seriously ? You could run that in ten minutes.

Can I can I sour?

The problem was.... I couldn't decide where I wanted to go....

And I said OVER a mile.... but yeah... just felt indecisive. I could see me ending up walking 10miles... first heading one way and then the other...

Does anyone else have a sudden, unexplained craving for brownies?

Is that when dreaming, or in reality?

 

[Shadrach]

I brought my money.... I have money

Doesn't taste all that though does it.
You've made me remember talking to a girlfriends father who lived in Southern Italy and recalls the end of the Second World War. Inflation made the Lira worthless. A lot of people had money; they just didn't have any food.

Or shoes.... or drugs....

Yeah...

Even in the states during the war there were all of those coupons for food that had to be used....

My dad was a kid in WW2 and grew out of his shoes... his parents had to get him a new set all under the table... they went after hours to a shop and he got fitted in the back where no one would see from the front windows.

 

[Alaskan]

Oh!

Finished my kale... all except for one bit of wilted brown leaf

Anyway... it was a great meal.

Best Sourdough bread that I have had for ages.

Completely ****** up this evening.
I've got a broodiness outbreak gone viral. I found one of the nests and waited until dark as normal to remove hen and eggs and while I was bending sown to get the hen a low branch knocked my head torch off and I fumbled the hen.
No chance of finding her on the bank at night even though I heard her I think up a tree close by. As long as she stays up the tree she'll probably be fine but if she comes down to the nest....that won't be so good.
