Fancy Schmancy

Fancy Schmancy

I went to lunch today at Green and pulled into the parking lot behind the new Tesla Model S.  We were both on electric mode and it was so neat to hear such a big car not making any sound.  It’s a gorgeous car and I certainly hope to see more on the road in the near future.  Website for Tesla Model S

Vacation is great! Visiting the dog park whenever we want is so nice. New dogs, new people but so much poop! I picked up at least eight pooper scoops full. Lazy people.

Time for a sign at my front door

I need to get a “no soliciting / no begging” sign by my front door.  This morning my doorbell rings and there is a woman there who asks me for $1.40 so she can use the bus.  What the crap?  My dogs were going crazy barking at her through the security door which would make me just walk away, but no…she stayed.  I told her to wait a moment and got her $1.40.  I hope I did not create a…

Been meaning to do this for a while now

Been meaning to do this for a while now

Well, I’m downloading my archived info from FaceBook and deleting my account. While FB is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends I struggle with the ability to not comment on posts with which I disagree.  This has caused trouble for me, my family and some of my friends.  Since I cannot seem to keep my mouth shut (i.e. fingers from typing) I feel this is the best solution. Well, let’s see how long this lasts….
