LEST MUGGERS WERE TO ROB ME AND STEAL MY COUPON!!

 ONE OF THREE FROGS RESIDING IN  THE FRONT YARD FROG POND THIS SUMMER

It was a sultry Saturday evening, and so much so, that I had to apply some heat through my defrost to keep the windshield clear while I made my way around a few country roads after my evening walk.  This has been happening with frequency lately in this hot and humid weather.  It's the oddest thing that I have never experienced before.  It forms on the outside of the windshield, has a silver sheen, and looks like ice.

With an A&W breakfast coupon in my pocket, I was anxious to use it up lest muggers were to rob me and steal my coupon!!  So, after my morning walk, it was off straightaway that I headed lickety split to Goderich to partake myself in a mess of bacon and eggs, toast, coffee, and a hash brown. Twas quite the enjoyable time I had tucked away in a far corner, adding a few new stains to my clean shirt.  Of course, in my world, it is only clean shirts that are susceptible to the droppings of food.

From A&W, it was down to the harbor and out to the cove.  Two large ships in port this morning.  The Algoma Compass taking on a load of salt, and the Harvest Spirit, a couple of hundred yards away, taking on a load of grain.  Took a spin out to Rotary Cove, snapped a few pics, and then it was up out of the harbor I went, heading through town to Goderich's east end for a stop at Walmart.  I was dangerously low on peanut butter, and the kitchen cupboard's alarm bell had been sounding since yesterday.  

LOADING GRAIN THIS MORNING WAS THE HARVEST SPIRIT

 THE CALM WATERS OF LAKE HURON AND LONG-TIME READERS MAY REMEMBER ME BLOGGING ABOUT THAT BIG MARBLED COLORED BOULDER IN THE LEFT FOREGROUND.....I WAS SO CONCERNED THAT WORKERS WERE GOING TO BURY IT WHEN THIS SHORELINE RESTORATION WORK WAS TAKING PLACE A FEW YEARS AGO....PHEEBS AND I WOULD ALWAYS SAY, 'HELLO, MR. ROCK' AS WE PASSED BY

PEOPLE ENJOYING THE BEACH THIS MORNING

 A NICE PATCH OF FLOWERS ON THE WAY OUT TO ROTARY COVE

Home again, and despite having a good night's sleep, I felt like I'd been up all night working in a coal mine.  I headed for the sunroom, tipped myself back in my recliner, and crossed my fingers in hopes of catching myself some zzzzzzzzz's. Well, so much for crossing my fingers and all that stuff.  Hardly seems to ever work anyway, but actually, I did manage to get about an hour, and it indeed was a big help.

FROGGY NUMBER 2

So, the Subaru is going into the Bayfield Garage tomorrow for what I suspect might be brake work.  With a possible chance of rain in the morning, I am going to drop it off at the garage tonight and ride my E-bike back home.

 FROGGY NUMBER 3

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, he said: "Now, students, if I stood on my head the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I should turn red in the face." "Yes, sir," the boys said. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?" A little fellow shouted, "'It's because yer feet ain't empty."

"Yesterday, scientists revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones.
 To prove their theory, the scientists fed 100 men 12 pints of beer and observed that 100% of them gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became emotional, couldn't drive, and refused to apologize when wrong.

A teacher says, “Okay, class. Today we’re going to be talking about the tenses. If I say ‘I’m beautiful,’ which tense is it?” Little Johnny raises his hand and says, “Obviously past tense, Miss.”

Three older ladies were discussing the travails of getting older. One said, "Sometimes I catch myself with a jar of mayonnaise in my hand, in front of the refrigerator, and I can't remember whether I was taking it out or putting it away."
The second lady said, "Yes, sometimes I find myself on the landing of the stairs, and I can't remember whether I was on my up, or on my way down." The third lady chimed in, "Well, I'm glad I don't have those problems. Knock on wood." With that, she rapped her knuckles on the table, then said, "That must be the door. I'll get it."
