"Wanna buy a cinnamon roll?"(Sometimes you see very scary things this time of year. Imagine what Halloween will be like!)
It wasn't.
Wrong entirely.
He took it back and they gladly ordered him another, which they said they will deliver today. Unexpected good service is always a nice surprise.
We had a mess of cold, miserable rain over the past couple of days. Makes for mud and a lot of wet clothes, that just won't dry. (Still better than winter.)
And what is it with the weather wonks anyhow? As soon as a new month starts they begin a new rain count. Thus if it rains 10 inches on the last day of the month and then is dry for a week, they intone gloomily, "We are down several inches for this month."
Do they honestly believe that all the rain from the previous month just went away, sort of like a torn off calendar page? They irritate me mightily.

Al looks like he is up to no good:) Sneaky, sneaky
The weather wonks don't smell the air and the dirt or look west to see the clouds' colors.
Last month IS a torn off page.
Are those cabinets in your HOUSE? I am envious! Beautiful!
I'm back to say this about "unexpected good service:" It feels like a personal favor, doesn't it? And it is. I wonder if, and hope that, that kind of helpfulness will increase as our economy puts everybody at risk of failure.
"They irritate me mightily." AMEN!
Always looking for the black cloud and never the silver lining.
I.LOVE.YOUR.HOUSE! :)
yes, your house is so grand!
another crappy weather day...ho hum!
These weather wonks are the same team that came up with anthropogenic global warming . . .
Lisa, long story there...ask him sometime. lol
June, they amaze and aggravate me. Have we come so far from living with nature that they actually think that way? I am afraid so...and yes, those are some of the kitchen cupboards. This is a pretty amazing place. I don't really feel that it is ours, but more that we are its, so to speak...thanks
And, I agree that might come to pass. I think we are seeing some of it in dealings with smaller local companies. Just the opposite in the big multinationals. Just when you think that they couldn't care less, you find out that they could...care less that is.
Joated, the boss watches a local TV station for weather. The weathermen are golfer/skiers with no other concept of what rain or snow might mean to anyone. They drive me nuts!
Dani, thank you. I love it too, even though we can not really manage proper upkeep for the poor old thing. Whoever built it was a visionary with a bucket load of money, who did understand weather...it is a privilege to live in it.
Anon, yep, wish the corn was in and the last of the hay, such as it is.
Dearest brother, they are all in the same boat anyhow...too bad they want us to sink along with them. Love you!
I sure wish you could send your moisture our west here, we need it but I don't really need winter just yet:) Those ARE nice cabinets!!
