A lot of family and friends now have power.  In our neighborhood/area of about 400, there are 75 people without electricity.  I am one of those people, ha ha.  It's hard but it could have been worse.  That's what people always say, right?  F that, I want my TV on stat!

I've eaten out every meal this week.  This is just a guesstimate but I may weigh 500 pounds.  I'm so tired.  Probably from all the gravy slogging through my bloodstream.

We (Cara and I) were looking for a place to eat last night.  We headed to the diner but they blew some kind of pipe.  Workers were digging up the street.  Then we went to a bar/restaurant.  They weren't fully back because all the doors were open.  They were packed but there was no air conditioning.  WTF?  Who could eat like that?  A lot of people, apparently.  A lot of psychos.

We drove a town over and ate in a nice Chinese restaurant.  There were 4 couples (including us) in the whole restaurant.  Always a sign of a great place to eat, ha ha.  At the next table there were two older ladies.  They were having a great conversation.  It sounded like Old Lady 1 was teaching Old Lady 2 the rules of being old.

Old Lady 1:  "You have a list in your wallet of all the medications you're taking?"
Old Lady 2:  "No, I don't."
Old Lady 1:  "Do it!"

Ha ha.  Cara and I laughed and laughed.  We're not 100% sure why it was so funny to us.

I'd like to end today's update with a shout out to an old friend.  Thank you, Honda Element.

Sometimes we make fun of you because of your bright, bright orange color but you haven't failed me when I needed you the most.  This week you were my iphone charger, my cooling station, my escape from a dark house and carrier of a new shrub.  You are the ultimate Swiss Army Knife.

Have a nice day.

PS Mom, Do you have a list in your wallet of all the medications you're taking?  Do it!
