Which one is Ying and which one is Yang?<\/p><\/div>\n

To the gym on Tuesday?\u00a0 Yup, we changed days because Mary is going with Amy to the various eye doctors.\u00a0 As we entered, the music stopped, and the trainers ran to get their torture tools which included:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Rack
\n\u2022 Iron Maiden
\n\u2022 Thumb screws
\n\u2022 Stocks
\n\u2022 Breaking wheel
\n\u2022 Branding irons
\n\u2022 Whips\/scourges
\n\u2022 Manacles and shackles
\n\u2022 Dunking stool
\n\u2022 Tongue tearers
\n\u2022 Knee splitter
\n\u2022 Head crusher
\n\u2022 Gibbet cage<\/p>\n

Many of these are associated with medieval or early modern punishment, interrogation, or public humiliation, though some are exaggerated or mythologized in popular history.\u00a0 Torture is illegal under international law and widely recognized as a severe human rights violation.<\/p>\n

We first rode the stationary bikes for 30 minutes, and then the torture began.\u00a0 We escaped after an hour with our workout clothes ripped to shreds, but we managed to go to the market anyway.<\/p>\n

Mary watches me closely to make sure items do not accidentally “fall into my basket”.\u00a0 Items like the basic food groups: cookies, cake, candy, pie, and donuts.<\/p><\/div>\n

After shopping, we went home directly to unload, and Mary fixed a salad for lunch before going to her art class at 1:00 pm.\u00a0 But do NOT fear, I was left with a rather large “to-do” list which I attacked with vigor.\u00a0 I managed the first three items before she arrived home with her new artwork!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mary is off to the art class!<\/p><\/div>\n

I heard the garage door open and immediately hid the pie and cookies before she could spot them!\u00a0 Enter the artist, and with a loud “TA DAH,” I was presented with her latest.\u00a0 I immediately started suggesting names such as: Tank, Speed Bump, Scooter, Shell Shock, Turbo, and Professor Plod!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then we went to our neighbor’s house to replace some outdoor lighting bulbs, only to find that the wiring from the power source to the right-hand side of the yard was faulty.<\/p>\n

\"\"

No! It is NOT a beached whale!!<\/p><\/div>\n

We got two lamps to work, but failed with the others.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Derned concrete is hard on the head!<\/p><\/div>\n

The lead from the power source is open somewhere!<\/p>\n

Mary made meatloaf for dinner, and it was terrific.\u00a0 We watched TV while she slaved away.\u00a0 I assisted when I could, retrieving spices and other goodies.<\/p>\n

After dinner, we moved to the TV room and watched Yellowstone until Mary’s “sleeping noises” overtook the TV, and I had to call it quits!<\/p>\n
