Just ran into an old buddy from my iron-pumping days....+30 years ago. Super great guy!

 

Time's arrow flies so fast, then you get a blast from your past, and it makes you happy and sad all at once.....

Another potential mass shooting averted. :ebert:

 

Some loser in California had the usual collection of guns, ammo, body armor and written manifesto.

I'm at my local watering hole, finishing a lunch of a chicken breast sandwich, fries, beers, and animated conversation with other patrons. Kristen, the bartender/server, comes over with my check, shaking her head, and says, "I don't what happened but your sandwich got put on someone else's tab, and it's off the open orders in the computer", meaning whoever got charged paid for it, and their tab is closed. "You're only getting charged for your beers", barely 10 bucks. I figured out what the full tab would have been to keep from shorting Kristen on the tip, paid up and left, sending thoughts of good sports bar karma to the benevolent soul who bought my lunch, at least the food part. May I get the chance to pay it forward!

An excruciatingly long swim meet afforded me the opportunity to catch up with a good friend that I hadn't gotten together with since COVID hit. It was quite nice.

Lots of new fawns were out and about this AM in the foothills. They are always fun to see. Also, I saw a bobcat cross the road on the way home from my mountain run with the dog.

My family went bowling. (fun)

I almost won. (satisfying)

 

Somebody put Pink Floyd - Dogs on the jukebox while we were bowling and let the whole 18 minutes of it play. (awesome)

Had birthday brunch with hubby's family. Got to sit outside on a shaded patio, was cooler than in the valley (we got up to 104 today!) Also got Limelight: Rush in the 80's and Rush in the 90's "In the End" as a present from my sweetie. Going to enjoy reading those :dweez:

This new song by Styx...

 

 

"Our Wonderful Lives"

 

It's a brand new day

And I'm tired of the uncertain

I'm throwing back the curtains for some sun on my face

 

And now she's smiling

She's making up a song

Gonna sing it all day long and it's a happy place

 

Now the windows and doors

Won't stay closed anymore

And it feels like beginning again

 

Now the days go by

And we laugh and cry

While the dark cloud hovers nearby

We won't give in yet

We shall not forget

We still have our wonderful lives

 

Monday morning

I'm sleeping in again

But I'm not giving in to those old feelings

Hunker down

Put it off until tomorrow

I've got no time for sorrow's

Double dealings

 

Though the here and now

Might get to me somehow

The truth is right here for believing

 

Now the days go by

And we laugh and cry

While the dark cloud hovers nearby

We won't give in yet

We shall not forget

We still have our wonderful lives

 

Now the days go by

And we laugh and cry

While the dark cloud hovers nearby

We won't give in yet

We shall not forget

We still have our wonderful lives

We still have our wonderful lives

We still have our wonderful life

I got to watch the Douglas County, NV, Junior livestock show today. 4H, FFA kids showing pigs, steer, goats and lambs. The best of America!

Got hold of a tap card app for Foothill Transit bus lines for the San Gabriel Valley. Once in a while I go further west to Claremont and it's nice to have it ready instead of paying cash. I already use monthly passes for Omnitrans in San Berdnardino County which could use a tap system, hint, hint. Took the FT to a Planet Fitness today in San Dimas. Yeah, that one.
