Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hee! I wonder how long I could use it before the police show up?
I wonder how hard it would be to make a flame-thrower? ::eyes vines in backyard::
AquaNet and a lighter.
Timelies all!
Quiet day here, which is a good thing.
I'm doing (not quite) All The Laundry, before going over to have lunch with my father. Apparently, he's going home today, but not til later.
I don't want to vacuum everything, but it has to be done.
Did the last patching of my front step. Hopefully that holds for a while. It certainly doesn't wobble anymore.
I also need to do all the laundry. And all the dishes. And some yard work would be good. So far I have gone for a leisurely walk, which was also on the to do list.
I spent a good bit of the morning *digging up trees*. Not big ones, but still. Also cleaning up after a break-in by a gang of birdseed thieves.
I am a bit shaken, and feeling guilty about a person that I saw on my drive in this morning. I always see 50~100 bike riders and more walkers and joggers. It is a lovely part of my commute. Today is an oppressive weather day. Not super hot, mid 80s, but zero wind, super humid. Even the ocean was as flat as I have ever seen it. This morning there was a young man walking in full military cammo uniform, boots, jacket, backpack, and HELMET walking north on A1A.
Of course I only saw him for moments, but he didn't seem in any distress. But it was just wrong. If nothing else he could succumb to heat exhaustion or dehydration. But I was just really concerned that he was in trouble. I feel like I should have done something. I am trying to justify in my mind my lack of action. There were surely at least 50 walkers/joggers that shared the path with him. And A1A is a very heavily patrolled road by city and county police. I just hope he is okay. It has left me feeling a discomfort that is hard to describe.
I'm sorry you're distressed, Laura. I hope he is okay.
Invitations sent out. Evite will send printed cards out, but they still want e-mail addresses for the people who are getting the paper invitations. That's why I want to send them cards, evite, because they do not have or I do not know their e-mail addresses. Sigh.
OK, time for a cup of tea and then I will get started on dishes.
