The Coffee House

I'm glad my cell phone is deader than a doornail so I didn't have to hear it go off. It was bad enough on TV today - not the second alert, except it cut in midsentence of a Monk episode. The first monthly siren testing at noon caused the usual red line running across but the sound never came on, just a buzz. Smack dab in a preseason exhibition tie game in Germany. Had to get behind the bookcase where I can barely reach the plug to reboot. Messin' with my hockey is not allowed!! lol

The good thing is, it's all over with and - - - - -
regular season hockey starts tonight!!!!!!!!!

Max, Michael, Maggie and Gary retired to the patio after the morning's romp in the park. (Michael is Max's human.) We had news on the Tv when a notice warned us of the upcoming Presidential Alert. Michael is not a fan of the president and turned off his cell phone in protest of the Presidential Alert. After the alert, he turned on his phone and surprisingly he circumvented the presidential notice. We celebrated his small victory, but on the way to his car, he was hit by a second alert. It is hard to beat the government.

The only alert that I want to get

Oh brother. Got home. Sister almost immediately took my truck. The lawn tractor would not mow. It threw the mower belt and as luck would have it it needs a new belt. So I did one roll of pennies. Started a second and the phone rang.
Sister had a flat tire in Livingston. The Mitsubishi didn't have the gas to get to a station. Neighbor Rita had a can. The Mitsubishi needed a gallon of water and a quart of oil. And of course it expired in May. So anyhow got to a station and got gas. Got to where she was and changed to the spare. It needed air so we went to a gas station and used 6 quarters to put air in the tire. Just as I got to the boxes at the front of the neighborhood the Mitsubishi died. The way it sounds trying to start I believe it's terminal.

Isn't that common knowledge ...? ... Why do you need an alert for something everybody already knows?

It's suspiciously quiet here at work.
I wonder if they cancelled Thursday and didn't tell me?

I'm sure not.

This is nervous energy.

My phone is always in silent so I just get a buzz. I sent a message to FEMA complaining about their spam and asked to be removed from their list.

Bring on the beasts! Excited for Sox vs NYY despite my deeply ingrained Yankee hate. More sweet to beat!

Sad news that we expected to be forthcoming, but you're never really ready for. Mother In Law passed away early am this morning. She had been going down fast over the last month, struggling with congestive heart failure and cancer, both of which she had refused treatment on. At the ripe old age of 90, she went out of this life the same way she lived it on her own terms to the last. Packing up to leave later today.

Sorry to hear that Smoke, 90 is a pretty good run though.

Sorry for your loss. I hope your wife had time to say her goodbyes.
