There were flashing lights visible from the deck again tonight, except this time they were red & blue. Just barely, but earned himself a nice pair of connected bracelets for DUI.
PD was going to let him go if he could get a ride home, but he struck out. I heard him say he couldn’t call his wife because they only have one car. Yeah, that call to her now isn’t going to be pretty.
Poor guy.
Original stop was because someone called 911 on him for dangerous passing.
He blew a .08 (exactly the limit) & said something about having a shot before he left <where ever he was>. The one cop told him his BAC would be going up because of that. He was also on some medicine.
It sucks but I don’t have a lot of sympathy. I’ve seen too many smacksidents & it’s easily avoidable.
Checking in before I crash for a few hours from Nags Head, NC. Bullseye of the hurricane.
At 9:45 this morning work called; an hour and a hald later we left DC; 7:30 tonight we arrived at the hotel to find our rooms had been taken.
Much teeth gnashing later the last two rooms were secured and we are getting a brief sleep before arising at 2am to do the morning live shot duties for WVEC Norfolk (a sister station) and our station WUSA DC. Then I get to drive home.
Catch y’all later. Sleepy time.
Since I’m not going to D tonight, I’m going to get UI.
There [del]is[/del] was flavored vodka in the freezer. Swampy it’s Pee-kin pie flavored; which brings new meaning to drinks for dessert! 
Poor guy.
So the computer crashed at work. I foresee a mess.
Levi? So it’s in your jeans?
: waves East :
Spidey, I’m done with D for the day, so I’ll join you in the UI. CHEERS!
Fire truck in the parking lot, hosing down a dumpster. Word is that some idiot dumped hot barbecue coals into said dumpster, starting a fire in the process. That’s not completely reliable, I still think the possibility of deliberate arson is open. :mad:
Waking up now; it’s blowing about 40+ right now. Looks like we’ll get the eye in an hour or two at about 100mph.
Not happy.
**tugig **- are you saying the wonderful world of television news isn’t all glamor and adulation? How is that possible?? Have a safe trip home!
Higgs starting fussing early today - probably because **FCD **and I both crashed around 10:30 last night instead of him staying up till after 11. Anyway, she’s been out and fed and now she’s crashed on the loveseat behind me. My sweetie is crashed in bed. I’m up. I don’t want to be up, but I’m up. ugh.
There were occasional gusts when I took the dog out - I think the fringes of Arthur are hitting us. The forecast is for rain much of today, altho none has fallen yet. I hope they’re not lying - we could use some good rain.
I may make some peach jam today - I need to count how many jars I’ve got - I think there are enough. Other than that, no plans. Yet.
Happy Firecracker Day, America! Happy Firday to the rest of the world!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis 67 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of ONLY 91 for the day. Reckon we’ll freeze out at the cee-mint pond?
gigity be safe out there!
Spidey pee-kahn flavored vodka intrigues me.
Nettie ick! Teh stoopid is just overwhelmin’ sometimes ain’t it!
So I’m up and somewhat rarin’ to go. In a bit I shall go out and brush down the cee-mint pond and fish critters out of the water. I’m sure there are some various critters such as [del]sharks[/del], frawgs, spiders, and assorted bugs bein’ as there usually is such an assortment. I’ll let the cleaner run for a bit as well. I think I may go over to the church house and load up two big ice chests with ice from Hoshi the icemaker that makes copious amounts of ice. Heck, I could half empty the thing and in three hours nobody would know it ever happened.
For now though I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy is hongry. Thus beginneth the day.
To all the Amurrkin Mumpers…
**
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!**
To everyone else, Happy Firday!
ETA: Yeah, MOOOOOOM that and cats are annoyin’ little critters. 
Ummm, I’ve met you; you’re tall. 
Imma sitting at an intersection one day, when BAM, a car gets rear ended. The driver of the hitting car gets out & immediately says, “I’m sorry”. The driver’s door of the front car opens & out jumps a little person. He has a scowl on his face & glares at the other guy & states, “I’m not happy”. Which causes the striking driver to respond, “Well that narrows it down a bit, now I’ve got a one in six chance of getting your name right.” Carnage ensued! 
Swampy, you have a very large salt-water [del]cee-mint pond[/del] aquarium; fish critters belong in it! 
Local town parade is ON. It’s about ½ mile route & takes about 45 minutes to go end to end if you’re in it, but it’s fun. We’ll see if we stay dry.
Spidey that’s be all well and good if’n they were fish critters. However, they are always spider, frawg, and assorted bug critters. Plus pine straw from the neighbors’ pine trees. Dang pine trees!
Anywho, the cee-mint pond has been brushed down and de-crittered and de-pine strawed. The cleaner is runnin’ right now. I’ll turn it off in an hour and clean out the skimmer. Who knows what carnage I will encounter in the skimmer. Usually it’s a daid frawg or two.
It’s a whirlwind of excitatement here!
The Vunderlair is getting a glancing blow from the outermost NW band. Breezy and not a lot of rain.
Looks like my buds in Cottonfield County had a rough night, however…
Sari, cross a certain house in Jaw-ja off the list; as I understand it, there’s a :eek:frog murderer:eek: in the neighborhood & not only is there a :eek:frog murderer:eek: in the neighborhood but there’s an :eek:unrepentant frog murderer:eek: in the neighborhood! :eek: :eek: :eek:
Who knows, maybe after he :eek:murders frogs:eek: he goes to :eek:Wally World:eek: for tarps & duct tape. :eek:
Happy “Good Riddance, Bloody Colonials” Day!
It’s Friday, I’m having a nice quiet day in the orifice waiting until hometime. I have to leave early to pick up my car on the way back, they have serviced it and it’s passed the almighty MoT but it needs a part. Said part is, of course, not in stock…so the nice garage chappie has ordered it for me and will let me know when they get it so I can take the car back to get it fixed.
This weekend I am home alone and unsupervised. I will endeavour to keep off the news.
What Boofae said
Have a lovely day celebrating not being British!
Horribly overslept again today- dunno what’s going on with my sleey habits at the moment, I appear to be alternating dozing off for an hour or so with crashing out for 12 hours straight. Odd. Have irk later, prob’ly another prom night. Hope they’re well behaved.
Been doing a local comedy festival the last few nights; didn’t get to hear much of the shows, but at least everyone was in a good mood, and generally pretty nice. Plus I was working with the nicer guys in the company (some of them are a bunch of mumble mumble mumbles) whose main conversation topics are insulting clients and customers.
It’s looking like I might try and buy a new vehicle, rather than get this one fixed. The repair will be only £50 less than I paid for it in the first place, 5 years back, and I’ve already had work done on it this year. I’m wondering if I should get a small van instead- I’ve wanted one for ages, and it could mean I could irk for myself a bit- maybe garden maintenance or something’. Still not fully decided- I might wait til I get back from Ireland, unless I find something good before then.
Happy Firday!
Happy 4[SIZE=“3”][COLOR=“Red”]th of[/COLOR] July
[/SIZE]
always remember
- if you go forth on the fourth with a fifth you might not go forth on the fifth*
It’s cool outside for now, I have my window open. It looks like we are going to get more rain.
Spidey I would expect the frog murderer in Georgia would be buying olive oil and garlic as opposed to tarps and duct tape.
BooFae HEE! I may have the giggles the rest of the day over that.
Sari I long ago learned not to buy the garlic and the olive oil at the same place.
ETA: Nuts good look with the vehicle hunt! ICK! I do not like doin’ that.
