August 21, 2023

            Yesterday was Sunday, and it was also sun day, as the sun was shining and we reached a record temperature for the day of 110 degrees. Here at the Ford homestead, we would appreciate temperatures at normal. Heck the 90s sound great when compared to what we have had, and could we have some rain? 

            My favorite wife and I did go to town yesterday, we got a few items from the Wally world and then we went into Waco to see about getting me a pair of glasses. I understand they mark up the prices of furniture and vehicles by 2, 3 and 4 hundred percent. I think they mark up the price of glasses even more! We had a 50 % off coupon and it was still a ridicules price.

            Leaving the overly priced eye glasses place we wanted to get something to eat, and we knew it would need to be either free, or cheap, after what we were charged for the glasses. We were able to scrape together enough for a cheap sandwich, and then we headed for home. It was so hot that we did little until about 5:00pm, when we ventured outside for a break from the TV. I did run the sprinkler systems for a few minutes as we sat outside, in the areas that had shade. Yes, the entire system ran before sun rise that morning.

            Today, aka Monday: we have gone through the normal schedule for the morning hours. Now during the morning walk with Tres there was a fellow who lives a couple houses away up the street, and he was getting into his work vehicle. I, being a good neighbor said, “Morning,” as we walked past him, he said nothing and got into his vehicle. This is the same person who has his personal pickup truck parked on the street and the blue rag is laying on the street below his front door, and it has been there for a couple weeks. Let’s see, is not friendly and litters! 

            Well, there are things I should do today, but I am not sure I will do any of them. We hope you have a good day, stay cool and be safe.

Neighborly greeting?

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
