> [@Baker](#): > > I may(shudder) even have to try to find him, a guy I haven’t seen since February of 1980.☹ To get a sense of perspective, that’s the month **American Gigolo** was released. (No, I wasn’t in it!) Did a bunch of yardwork this weekend in my quest to go completely organic. Fortunately, it was followed by a wonderful, soaking 9 hour slow rain so everything looks great. Did a bunch of potting of [new](https://dumpyourphoto.com/photo/W6GPLUXAO6) plants and [repotting](https://dumpyourphoto.com/photo/VfLk8gCxc5) of others so the patio is tres colorful now. Nice to see you as an MMP’r **Baker**. You good peoples. ---

**Phouka** , that’s really cool and I’ll bet it was hilarious to watch for your friend. Ain’t nuthin’ cuter than duck beebies. One of my favorite scenes in Duck Dynasty was when they dammed up the loading dock and ran a hose for several hours to create a ‘research pond’, let loose a dozen pet ducks from the mall and the six guys just sat on the ledge with their duck calls \*making conversation’\*with the happy quackers. Funny stuff. ---

I am sitting at the county courthouse in the jury pool. Unfortunately not a swimming kinda pool. It’s not BSD. Big room with windows, coffee AND donuts AND free box lunch. The jury pool is 90 people, the majority of which are middle age whites, proving my theory that jury selection is anything but random. This is the 6th summons for me. Yeah to poukah for saving baby ducklings. Remember the book “Make Way for Ducklings?” ---

Do I need to worry that the health insurance company can’t spell? [https://www.bcbsnc.com/assets/services/public/pdfs/medicalpolicy/\*\*lumber\*\*\_spine\_fusion\_surgery.pdf](https://www.bcbsnc.com/assets/services/public/pdfs/medicalpolicy/ **lumber** _spine_fusion_surgery.pdf) They spell it properly within the document, but still, it’s a bit worrying. My back may be as stiff as a board at times, but I’m not a tree! ---

Happy Moonday! It’s 23 degrees above freezing, grey, wet and rainy. I feel a bit blurfy because I stayed up all night talking to a friend on the phone. We have to go grocery shopping sometime today, shopping in the rain is yukky but maybe by the time the kid gets home the rain will have stopped. Congrats **Cookie** on all the good stuff. Sucks to have to find an ex I guess. Mine moved less than a mile from my mothers house, right around the corner from an ex-bf. Congrats\*\* Lunch\*\* on the promotion. Yea **Roo** **{{{Rosie}}** I will check out all the pics later when my eyes don’t fee so blurfy. ---
