yes

the white corn is very good....had some with dinner yesterday....walked over by the mill again this fine morning....got a thing in the mail to renew my AAA card, so I did that online. That was all that came in the mail today.....Tonight is the Gamecocks football opener, so people are wearing the colors looks like.....comes on at seven, will give me something to watch, other than old westerns on Encore.....

senior grocery day

Blue sky and a north wind.....sunny yet cool.....they had grapes 99 cents per lb., and good looking white corn 5 for a dollar.....the stuff is out for Labor Day BBQ I guess.....my Weber kettle has never made it out of the shed....I haven't been organized enough to get charcoal and lighter fluid and figure out where a good place to BBQ would be....I don't have a deck like at the Resort....some neighbors just grill on the front porch....there are some houses on Oakland St. not far away that have brick screen porches with built in BBQs.....I guess in pre-AC days that was a really good idea for the hot months, like the outdoor kitchens behind some farm houses....

took another walk

before lunch...took the camera and went over by the mill....http://www.flickr.com/photos/sjtingle/page1/

poached egg

The poached egg came out just about perfect this morning....not really runny yolked, but not overdone either....it depends on how deep the water is, I guess. And I guess from the news that SoCal, with fires to the north and a hurricane to the south is between hell and high-water? Sounds about right.....here it is basically Fall weather early, before Labor Day....I'm sure it will get hot again though.....

rained most of the night

It let up in time to go for my morning walk, and then started again. It's keeping things cool anyway.

dang

this time it sounds like L.A. might really burn down....and there's a fire in Yosemite....did David and Tree go hiking up there again already? I guess they were going up above the tree line anyway, but still.....I bought a pound of deli-sliced turkey breast for $2.50.....half price with the card beep.....it's going to take a while to eat that many turkey sandwiches.... but they'll be cheap! Going to be non-AC days here for a while sounds like, save some money there too.....and Labor Day weekend comes up next.....on the Sirius radio they have guest disc-jockeys on holiday weekends, so on #18 for Labor Day the Secretary of Labor is going to DJ.....that's what they said, sounds strange....they said she was going to play "hard-working" songs......

92 million dollar man

Well, Rivers looked real good in the first half against the Falcons.....another San Diego and Atlanta game.....but 92M? Nice work if you can get it. Sometimes the Atlanta fans seemed a little mixed up....the Falcons would move the ball and they would start doing the Braves tomahawk thing.....sausage, toad in the hole over easy, O.J., black coffee for breakfast. I'm eating apples for snacks right now instead of bananas.....50 percent chance of rain today.....
