I’m without focus today. Had to run a few errands and I’m not encouraged by the selfishness I see of some behind the wheel. But there were flashes of humanity today. I held the door open for those who were behind me with their hands full. There were a few kind words and wishes for a good holiday from the guys at the liquor store. And I’m not a regular.
And I exchanged nodes and pleasantries with a complete stranger while sitting in traffic, we were headed in the opposite directions but stuck in traffic. He gave a node and I thought he said something so I rolled down the window. He said he was just nodding about the car. I told him I liked his also. Ours were the same color and both had black convertible tops but different makes of car. I said I wished it was warm enough to have the top down and he smiled and laughed.

Today I’m going to eat smart. Ah the hell with it. Might as well get a base on for tomorrow. Plus my logic is I’m going to need a few extra layers to deal with these cold temps. I have to go out twice tomorrow just to pick up and return my father and mother in-law, but otherwise its feasting, football, fun and fatness.
I can see the problem now. I’m full as can be. I’ve loosened the string on the sweat suit. And then I hear a voice from the kitchen again. It will yell, Mike do you want a piece of apple, pecan or pumpkin pie. Good thing I have a day to sort out that answer. Of course I’ll have whipped cream with any choice.
Random Thoughts of the Day
When trust is gone. Chaos and Civil War replaces it.
I wish I had time to read more blogs.
My mind is like a computer that is running too many intensive programs and scripts. And the one eating up the CPU is the one waiting on medical results.
Only another day or two to a full moon. Maybe time for some night shooting.
Here’s to a safe and happy holiday weekend.
