I COULDN'T SEEM TO KEEP MYSELF AWAKE LONG ENOUGH

A lovely sunny Tuesday morning, so I headed out straightaway to my country road walking spot and hoofed my quarter mile up the road and back. I know half a mile isn't much, but it's better than nothing.  A soothing breeze coming up from the south added a special touch to my walk, and it made for one of those 'nice to be alive' days. Following my walk, I headed north to Goderich.  McD's coffee to go, dropped off a load of stuff at St. Vincent de Paul, and then it was down to the harbor I went.  Following that, it was a 'Double Buddy burger at A&W and then a quick stop at Walmart to pick up a few essentials like peanut butter.  Also, while at Walmart, I stopped by the Pharmacy to drop off a bag full of Kelly's subscriptions that I had gathered together.  She sure was on a lot of prescribed medications.  Way more than I ever realized.  Most were open, and some were not.  The Pharmacy will dispose of all those pills.  

 IT LOOKS LIKE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME KIND OF EVIRONMENTAL SURVEY GOING ON OUT AT GODERICH'S ROTARY COVE THIS MORNING

 SKIES LOOKED A LITTLE IFFY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME ON MY HOME THIS MORNING

I think I finally made it home about 11:30, but with an 83% humidity factor growing, I knew I wouldn't be spending much time outside.  And, I didn't.  The few times I did venture outside to do some easy poking around stuff I had to confine my activities to the shaded areas.  I had to be careful not to strain at anything or move too fast because my neck would end up sticking my face to my chest and my forearms to my upper arms rendering me an inoperable sticky mass of paste.  Humidity and oily skin are not compatible!!!!  About 2 p.m., while my afternoon decaf coffee was brewing, I decided to fire up the A/C for the first time this year and see if it was working properly.  It was, and I soon had to go put on some of my heavy winter duds to try and keep myself warm.  I had my snow shovel close at hand too just in case.  Hey, who said it was impossible for it to snow inside??  Now, if you believe any of this hooey, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in too.

 IT WAS SUCH A NICE MORNING THAT EVEN OUR GOOD NEIGHBORS DOWN AT THE END OF OUR STREET WERE OUT AND ABOUT

Monday night, after publishing my post, I slipped out for a little toot in the countryside along with another walk.  I so much enjoy my evening drives in warmer weather like this.  Skies were clear, and I really would have liked to come back a few hours later to see the stars, but I couldn't seem to keep myself awake long enough.

 OH MY, THE SMELL OF NEW MOWN HAY MONDAY EVENING WAS SO MAGICALLY OVERPOWERING

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A henpecked husband was advised by a psychiatrist to assert himself. "You don't have to let your wife bully you," he said. "Go home and show her you're the boss." The husband decided to take the doctor's advice. He went home, slammed the door, saw his wife, and growled, "From now on, you're taking orders from me. I want my supper right now, and after you get it on the table, go upstairs and lay out my clothes. Tonight I am going out with the boys. You are going to stay at home where you belong. Another thing, you know who is going to tie my bow tie?"  "I certainly do," said his wife calmly, "the undertaker."

Arriving late for a political conference, the college student asks another student standing by the door, "How long has the candidate been talking now?" "Half an hour." "And what is he talking about?"

"That I wouldn't know, he hasn't said."

- I have so much debt now, I could start a government.

- Home is where you hang your @.

- I know a surgeon who puts organs back in upside down.  He says it’s an inside joke.

- Two doctors decided to invest in an Air BnB. Despite all their marketing, they couldn't attract even a single customer.
Eventually, they decided to call their venture "Doctors Without Boarders."

Getting away from their high-stress jobs, a couple spends their relaxing weekends in their motor home. When they find their peace and quiet disturbed by well-meaning, but unwelcome, visits from other campers, they devised a plan to assure themselves some privacy.  Now, when they set up camp, they place this sign on the door of their RV: "Insurance agent. Ask About Our Term-Life Package."
