No Reprieve . . .
from the Governor. (Or Todd, anyway)
So as of right now (1:30pm) we’re still going into tonight’s gate, even now when they’re shutting down.
First up, a couple of corrections.
The photo of the waterbuck on last night’s blog was NOT taken by me. I just grabbed one from the Internet. I did try to get a shot with my phone, but the waterbuck passed me like I was standing still and was gone before I could get a shot. So all I got was a blurry picture with nothing in focus.
Waterbuck can run over 40 mph while vehicles are limited to 15 mph on that road, so it was gone in a flash. The only reason I even knew it was a waterbuck was the distinctive white ring on its rear end.
Second, a few days ago when I was talking about the new Scan & Go app for Wal-Mart, I said the only store it in use now was in Rogers, AZ. Blog reader Cathie Laurent corrected me saying it was probably Rogers, AR, which makes more sense. Thanks, Cathie.
Our lunch meal at Bella Sera was just as delicious as usual. Jan had her favorite Chicken Florentine,
while got mine, the Bella Sera Chicken with ripe olives, capers, and sundried tomatoes.
Plus of course their really great homemade bread knots.
We’ll miss Bella Sera no matter when we leave.
The pad gate where I work has a resident raccoon living in the area. I first saw him walking behind the potty trailers this past weekend. Then a couple of nights ago, he strolled right by my truck at the pad entrance, seeming to not pay any attention to all the bright lights and noise going on around him.
Since my window was down and he was only about 15 feet away, I called out, “Hey Raccoon, where ya going?” He stopped, stood up on his hind legs with his front paws together and just stared at me for about 30 seconds, and then continued on his way out the gate, having no problem with the cattle guard.
As of right now the rain is supposed to be gone for now, so we can only hope.
I don’t think my truck floorboard and mat will ever be the same.
Thought for the Day:
What if i can’t trust the voices in my head?
