us holiday today

I get up on a day off and start to look at webcams around the world like I often do.

I start to think that maybe Trevi Fountain might draw a good crowd for Memorial Day. No, wait. lol. There’s a good crowd, but it’s not Memorial….. 😉

It’s a bit like going to an ATM in another country and being surprised when dollars don’t come out.

snake encounter in park

A not-too-close copperhead snake encounter at Guilford Courthouse National Military Park.

I told my spouse, “stick your hand in the love box” (that snake in the tree). lol 🐍

outdoor chandelier

The Nature Preserve chandelier.

strawberry torte

Things found at Food Lion (supermarket).

industrial employee coffee setup

A production plant with a break room decked out with elegant coffee equipment.

places too busy

Some of my life strategies:

There are many places I won’t go because of crowding. I suffer so much stress at Costco, for example, that I gave it up. I avoid Biscuitville (fast-food restaurant) when cars are backed up into the street causing rear enders. I can’t take it. lol. Give me the abandoned places other people hate. I’ll make do with those.

sbux

Starbucks

wrist soviet

That’s a sexy AF wrist. Wanna lick it?

olive garden

Sometimes people ridicule Olive Garden, but I love ’em.

Not authentic? IDGAF.

Slightly exotic, slightly elegant, low price.

I lived off of their takeout all through lockdown summer when I was working away from home. World’s best service.

dracula-ready

Things have gotten so veiny. WTF.

I guess I’m ready for vampire harvesting. 🧛‍♂️
