How do you know you are old? People call at 9 p.m. and ask, “Did I wake you?”
We must have been abducted by aliens because we looked out the window and there was not a cloud in the sky…no wet cement…no drips or poodles (yes, the four legged kind) ..can this be? The forecast says no rain for the next week! Perhaps the change to Daylight Savings Time scared away the rain?
We can’t wait to hear what the liberals are going to do with this…OMG, we are going to drowned because of global warming? The U.S. Drought Monitor said Thursday that just over 67 percent of the state is totally free of any level of dryness. Sounds like the weather it used to be in the 1950’s to me!
Enough about the weather, we can’t do anything about it anyway!
I walked again this morning with the ol’ sciatic nerve only operating at 30% efficiency meaning I had to stop every twenty minutes and site on a surface and s-t-r-e-t-c-h the old leg. It worked and I was happy to do the walk!
The mission was to ask Bank Of America to change the check number on their electronic banking system as whoever “fat-fingered” in the check number goofed and check 1955 came out 3955. I called them but got hold of an IT-dweeb and the response was less than satisfactory. The local branch could not do anything so they gave me a secret number to call which I will try on Monday!
I always have the camera ready since I listen to either Rush Limbaugh or Dr. Laura as I walk. I snap pictures of interesting sights and today this littler fella fell subject to my inquisitive mind! It’s definitely a succulent but his color taken against the plastic grass and new rocks just struck me as interesting!
Did You Know? Ehorbia tirucalli (commonly known as aveloz, Indian tree spurge, naked lady, pencil tree, pencil cactus, milk bush) is a tree that grows in semi-arid tropical climates.
It has a wide distribution in Africa, being prominently present in northeastern, central and southern Africa. It may also be native in other parts of the continent as well as some surrounding islands and the Arabian peninsula and has been introduced to many other tropical regions. Its status in India is uncertain. It grows in dry areas, and is often used to feed cattle or as hedging.
Euphorbia tirucalli is a hydrocarbon plant that produces a poisonous latex which can, with little effort, be converted to the equivalent of gasoline. This led chemist Melvin Calvin to propose the exploitation of E. tirucalli for producing oil. This usage is particularly appealing because of the ability of E. tirucalli to grow on land that is not suitable for most other crops.
The rain seems to be slowed down a bit and the storms are clearing out meaning a bit of wind and glorious cloud formations. These are NOT pieces of art, as photos go, but certainly demonstrate the amazing formations were treated too all day! After looking up, one must look down to see what Spring is about to bring us!
Glorious blues and whites 
Silver linings anyone? 
Spring is three weeks away but already practicing her magic in the hood
After returning home, Sue dished out her “secret recipe” made of everything that needed to be thrown out in the next two days…damn, it was good. So tomorrow, I am, off to Ralph’s and ask to see the items about to be tossed including three colors of bell peppers, mushrooms, beans, onions, and spicy vegetarian sausages…they beg Sue to make it again!
With old age acting up, I took the afternoon easy including taking a nap. Need the legs for this evenings dancing!
We got all gussied up and departed at 5:30 PM for the GG Elks. we called Gayla and Aunt Kaye is doing “OK”… she really wants to go home but that cannot be. We are heading up their soon to visit and remind her that everyone knows who and where she is!
I had Salmon and we all visited until about 9:00 PM when the band got their second wind the the volume went off the scale! Time for use to depart and go watch TV (in the quiet of our own home) before crashing.
