HOLY SMOKES, I GOT TO DRIVE A TESLA TODAY AND I LOVED IT

My Lenova laptop screen froze up again so it was off to Goderich I went this morning.  It had done this before, and I knew it was an easy fix, but I couldn't remember what the fix was.  This time at the computer shop, a nice lady showed me how to unfreeze it, and I jotted down a few notes to remind myself.  I was good to go.  Down to the harbor and out to Rotary Cove I went.  It was a beautiful sunny morning, and the day hadn't heated up yet.  Took a few 'drive-by' photos enjoying their day, and off to Walmart I went to pick up a few things.  From there, it was straight home.  I had to hurry and get the dishes done because Woodsy was coming today.  I didn't want to be in a big mess of trouble.  Okay, so there was only one plate, a saucer, a coffee cup, two forks, and a spoon, but that was enough to land me in the soup if they were not washed up and put away.

Looking out the window Monday evening after posting my blog, I was again disappointed to see an overcast sky, but just as the evening before, I headed out anyway, hoping to maybe at least see the Moon clearly.  But, it wasn't to be, so after my walk, I slowly took a longer way home simply enjoying my music, and the evening's cool fresh air.

Before heading out Monday night and just after posting my blog, there was a snap, crackle, and POP.....and our power was off again!!!! Dammit, will these numerous power outages ever end!! Returning home from my evening drive around 9:15, I was disappointed to find the power still off.  With the aid of a flashlight, it was out to our metal shed I went, and brought in a box of candles.  So, for the next hour or so I sat in my living room quietly reading my Kindle.  My iPhone wasn't affected by the power outage, so I was able to text back and forth with Lorraine in Stratford.  Yes, can you believe it?? Me texting!!  Well, it's a pretty slow one-finger process for me, but I was able to tap out a few updates.  I think it was around 10:30 when our power was restored and everything was right with the world again.  If things can be right with this current world, that is.  What a big huge mess we are all in, and that is all I had better say about that.

 AN OLD TIMER STOPS FOR REST

TWO CANADA GEESE, TWO DUCKS, AND TWO CORMORANTS

A long-time blog reader, and one who went way back to the early days of my blog years ago and started reading from the beginning, dropped in for a visit early this afternoon.  Gord and his wife live in Bayfield now, so he popped over with his 2023 Tesla.  Hadn't seen Gord since one day late last Fall when he was telling me at that time that they had traded in their Subaru for a Tesla.  I expressed an interest in seeing the car, so Gord came today, took me for a ride to Varna, and then let me drive it back.  From riding in it to driving it and having Gord point out all the innovative features of the car, I just fell in love with it.  With the car being soooooo quiet along with an excellent stereo system and so many other clever innovations, I was hooked.  No, not to worry, I won't be buying a Tesla anytime soon.  But if I won a lottery, a Tesla could quite easily come into play.  Oh, by the way....I've never bought a lottery ticket in my life.  So, whadd'ya think my chances are, eh:))

 THE EYE OF THE GULL WAS UPON ME THIS MORNING

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A man and his son were standing in line at the bank. In front of them was a very large woman. The boy tugged on his father's pant leg and said "My God dad, she's really fat". "Be quiet and don't embarrass me" replied the father. Then all of a sudden the woman's pager goes off and the boy furiously pulls at his father and says, "DADDY! WATCH OUT! SHE'S BACKING UP!"

Tony was a pianist and was practicing late one night. There was a tap on the door, when he opened it his landlord was standing outside the door. He asked; do you know there is a sick lady upstairs?" Tony answered, no, I haven't heard that song. Can you please hum it a few bars?"
