(Old) Prepping for a visit in the MMP

Late Week Late Night final here. Outside of some gym time (those Buttermilk pancakes really add the calories) today has been a pretty much do-nothing day, a couple sammiches for the evening repast and next week’s planning is pretty much done, so just need to get tired enough to head off to bed. Got a lot of catching up to do and I do want to try and finish by 10pm so I can work on my NY TImes puzzles some more before shuteye.

FCM, Peter O’Toole’s response when the lady finds him using the facilties in the Women’s Room and tells him “This is for women only” is still one of my favorite lines of all time “So is this, ma’am, but occasionally I have to run a little water through it”
.

Mollie Chloé is one pampered pooch.

JtC, I concur, Phoenix is one city that you don’t need any excess heat for the building. And take care of yourself. Been to the Lowell Observatory, I remember the walk up to it, they had these little markers showing how far the planets were from the Sun using a scaled distance and it was an eye-opener.

Flyboy, managing to catch and release a moth caught by a cat is a rather remarkable feat all it’s own. Hope at least you have a good night’s sleep to rest. And I rode a ferry on Lake Erie this July just because it was there and went to a couple places I haven’t been. Would have enjoyed the Plover.

Oopsie, I never liked working Sundays, but I concur, it does have the benefit that you can focus on something without other issues interrupting (unless you have kids/dogs…).

Bright Tree, no nap today. One of the reasons is that I usually go to the gym somewhere between 1-4pm which is prime nappage time, so my body has adjusted and it’s harder to do…but I do get my 7-8 hours every night. Hope the car has nothing seriously wrong with it.

Lily, rooting for your book in the contest.

Mollie, I’ve been either small town or suburb all my life, never lived ‘rural’ and probably too late to change now, but I must admit, it does sound peaceful.

red, take care. And I drive past Cool Springs Mall every time I head north on I65, but haven’t been inside it in decades.

I like the stories about the spiders, but they still get Hulk-smashed if they are in my house…sorry about that, but my tolerance is better but not that much better.

MG, sounds like a good summer, and I remember IGA supermarkets from my youth.

AHem…IIRC, it was Clyde Tombaugh who first located Pluto (Lowell speculated about it, but it was Tombaugh who did the observations that confirmed it {takes off pedantic hat).

And that’s all, folks. Off to puzzle land, followed closely by sleepage, so catch y’all tomorrow on the next MMP.
