Good afternoon everyone and what a beautiful day it has been. It was foggy this morning then the sun came out for a while and now we just finished having a nice half inch downpour. Now the clouds are breaking and the birds are back out looking for dinner.
Yesterday I was so proud of myself for remembering to get overseas postage that I forgot to get post card stamps. the nice lady at the post office couldn’t find any single post card stamps and only had rolls. She also said she could meter them if I had them with me, and of course I didn’t.
I made it out to my car and figured out that stamps never go bad and I send 10-15 post cards a year…and went back in and bought a roll. She had to go find them as well, apparently folks out here don’t send a lot of post cards or overseas mail. Its not like it was any different in AZ and this is a more rural area so not that much of a surprise.
I think I’m going to try to send Mom post cards from our tourist places, I can’t really get good pictures because there isn’t anywhere to stop and take them.
Sounds like something I might have considered back when I was young.
I killed an iron by turning it on without noticing that it was full of ants. We were in the middle of a drought and the ants came in the house looking for water. I managed to remove them and stop the incursion but didn’t notice the trail leading into the closet and up the wall to the iron because wasn’t looking and didn’t have the lights on.
The iron still heated, but didn’t smell very good. I might have tried flavored water if it had been a thing back then.
Good. Returns are the reason I fell into the Amazon trap so quickly but bad habits are easy to make and hard to break.
If you are a fan of that sort of thing, you are going to love it! It’s worthy of a Barnum and Bailey sideshow all of its own 
Be sure and let me know if you go, I’ll meet up with you and go again
Happy birthday Squeaky. I’m sorry I’m leaving you such a fucked up world. Please be kinder to it than we were.

I think that chaotic gardening is great. It matches my style so well!
Oh…now the power is flickering. Its been very stable this year, but this has been a pretty wild storm. I should go before I lose everything. Have great evenings everyone.
