**Moooom** , each congregation of Amish sets their own technology and lifestyle limits. Growing up in northern Indiana where a lot of Amish, Mennonites and other plain groups are, I knew of some who would go church shopping when they were of an age to join the church, got married or moved. Some even worked in the auto industry. šŸ˜› I met up with a bunch of heathens at Dragon Park this morning. Because of the rain, there were no kids there. Then I swung through Tar-jay for a shower/tub scrubber (it sucks getting old enough that you canā€™t be on your knees long enough to scrub it down that way). Carribean ribs, black beans and callilou for supper. ---

I read it as ā€œcaribouā€. On re-read, I donā€™t know what calilou is or why you would eat it for dinnerā€¦? Spent the day hiding in the dark. Emerging to make sure the small people are fed food. ---

One day of a colonial festival tomorrow and then back to what normal people call work. If the weather cooperates it will be fun. If it doesnā€™t it could be a really long day. ---

Isnā€™t callilou that little cartoon boy? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pILuiG35TY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pILuiG35TY) I slept most of the day, I just feel ick. Now Iā€™m proofreading homework. I told him get everything done today because Iā€™m not doing any proofreading tomorrow. Tomorrow is clean house day, or maybe another sleep all day. I donā€™t know and Iā€™m too grumpy to decide. ---

Emerging to make sure the small people are fed food. Callalou is a tasty greens dish from the Carribean. [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/callaloo-recipe.html](http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/callaloo-recipe.html) I use a combo of spinach and kale, as as the original greens are hard to come by around here. ---

Good Morninā€™ Yā€™all! Up, caffeinated, purtified, and deheathenized so no _YAWN_ šŸ˜ƒ ā€˜Tis 74 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 87 and allegedly rain/tstorms/apocalypse for later today, tomorrow, and Tuesday. I will believe that when I go outside and get wet. In a little while weā€™re goinā€™ to the good Mexican place for N.O.L. they donā€™t open until noon. Then, I foresee nappage and sloth the rest of the day. I still say the hamsters went out for mani-pedis this morninā€™. After all, even a hamster wants to look his/her best. ---

I, apparently, slept through the hamster walkout. Being West Coast has its advantages. šŸ˜ƒ I slept like crap (technical term). Donā€™t know why. I eventually got some sleep, and am technically functional. ---

Nappage has been achieved. OYKW has gone to his place for the rest of the day. Heā€™s doinā€™ laundry and paperirk stuff, bless his heart. He has a really early day tomorrow as well but will compensate by takinā€™ off earlier. Smart move. Plus, tomorrow night is menā€™s night over to the church house. Thus I have steaks marinatinā€™ as well as beer chillinā€™ in the beerator. Now I shall surf teh intartoobz. ---

I made a run to Food Lion and picked up a nice hunk of London broil. Half is in the freezer and the other half is marinating. I also grabbed two nice russets and some sour cream (and other stuff not related to supper.) Iā€™m thinkinā€™ 'maters and broccoli on the side. Meanwhile, Iā€™ve got some time to waste with on-line games. šŸ˜ƒ ---

Well, that was interesting. Laid down about 6:30PM yesterday and woke up about 1:00am. Sensibly, I went back to sleep until about 5:00am, then got up. Fidgeted about the house until early afternoon, then dined at Red Robin (Yum!). Promised rain has yet to show up, but at least the temperature has been bearable. Thought about getting a haircut today, but decided to wait another week, itā€™s getting shaggy, but I have so little I resent having to pay the barbers $15 for 5 minutes work, and put it off as long as I can.
