supermarket scope out

I was shopping in the Harris Teeter supermarket the other day, and there was an overly muscled guy in a tank top walking around flexing for anybody who would look.


I thought to myself, “Pffft! That skinny security guard over there by the hummus is a helluva lot better.” 😁


For me, that’s just the way it is. lol. I should have gone over to the guard and said, “oh! I was just looking for hummus!”

selfitas

Brian and I still doing our thing.

car anatomy

It looked funny in the parking lot like that. Intriguing.

christmas mock

The corporate kindness is amazing! 🙄

T-Mobile donates to Feeding America if you play with their app and do certain things on social media. So passionate about giving back. Feeding America usually shows somebody handing a child a to-go box. 😮

Walmart has free Thanksgiving dinner, but you have to pay for it and wait for cash back on some 3rd party app. At least it includes a 2-L Coke and a can of Campbell’s.

I just feel the need to do my thing and mock a little.

Add some Christmas Child Operation Blessing, and you’d be cooking with gas. 🔥 🎄

beer and italian

Always the beers. Either at M’Coul’s or Vito’s. This time Vito’s. We like the Blue Moon on tap, sometimes mixed with cider. 🍻

ava gardner

Several years ago, I stood at Ava Gardner’s grave in Smithfield and cried like a baby.

Just kidding. I just stood there and thought, “she down in there, I guess.”

more reading

Slightly more serious reading:

Venezuelan Elections and Resisting US Interference in them.

reading on the clock

Yesterday was a rather slow drag at work, so I read all kinds of odd stuff, mostly to do with old television.

Sometime back when Arnold Palmer died, I did a whole day of reading about his life.

Yesterday was:

Phyllis Diller
Elizabeth Montgomery
Carol Burnett
Paul Lynde
Dick and Jerry Van Dyke
Marty Ingels

and many more…

I also read serious things. This is just the fun entertainment.

tcl 10 pro

Brian’s OnePlus 5t is giving trouble, so we ordered this TCL 10 Pro to replace.

It’s unlocked and will run on several carrier networks, just pop in a SIM. I like it. Smooth and nice. Uncluttered UI. Not expensive for a mobile.

politic

I’m a now political outlier at a certain organization of which I am a member. This morning’s virtual social hour drove it home.

This is not a surprise to me, being an outlier, but it is causing some distress.

It is not enough to make me leave the org. We have a covenant, and this is not sufficient reason to break it. I can work this thing and maybe even have some fun. 😉 😁

Trying to adjust but will not compromise..
