Did you ever feel...

Now anyone of you may have had this experience where you felt that you may have stopped thinking about the ramifications of what you did or said? Not psychotic behavior by any means or without compassion, just silly stuff?

I’m talking short of something slanderous or libelous or lacking legal judgment, what I mean is the problem that I have had most of my life called foot and mouth disease. For those who, probably mostly men, still don’t know what I mean is because men never ever feel badly about whatever they might blurt out without thinking ahead! (And there I go again…ooops! So what, I say! That is so freeing!)

So now if you have been paying attention you have more than likely realized what I meant all you women did, right? Right, no guilt here anymore; I may say stupid things at times but I own them! We all should. So I am apologizing right now for any future bloopers, bleeper’s or what have you or not.


I am sorry to say that our paid for auto does fall into the clunker class since it only gets only 17 MPH city/ 22 MPH Hwy (Believe it or not I saved the original book with the original paperwork that was on the window! I kept it on the bookcase in our guestroom,), but we own it outright and don’t go that far or to too many places, doesn’t that help somewhat? We only fill it once a month. Plus I don’t really think taking on additional debt is what we want or need at this time.

The program has now been extended, oh yes it has!
Two more billion has been approved for the program although many dealerships have not received notification, and that is where there is some controversy and current rub. Many have shut down their sales of the new vehicles with not taking in the clunkers until verified the system is still in check (moola) for them, because they would be libel for the money; can’t really blame them, can we? But seriously the first 1B was supposed to support the first 250K cars and now this additional amount it would stand to reason cover 500K more.

News in this evening reports with live pictures that a 17 foot Python has been shot and killed in Okeechobee County!
It was two feet in circumference and weighed more than 200 pounds, yikes! In case you are wondering where this location in Florida is, it is near Lake Okeechobee that big lake in the southern middle of our state, but still quite a distance from the Everglades, uh oh they are spreading! But we Floridians knew that.

Most of the country appears to be topsy-turvy, weather wise that is; the northwest is seeing 100 + temperatures and the northeast is seeing rain cooling nearly daily for months, plus vicious tornadoes? And here, we are rain poor on this southwest coast of Florida; down…would you believe with needing still nearly a foot of rain for this which is our rainy season? Our temperatures have been fairly normal 70’s overnight with high 80’s to 90’s during the day. We do get drizzle but the rest of this state has had much, much more than us.

The shuttle landed safely on our space coast this morning and I was in our pool when I heard the sonic boom. Thankfully, it did, we saved a bundle again.

I made myself a promise to try and go into our backyard in-ground pool at least three times a week, and I have completed this first week successfully! As some may know I was a certified Aquacize instructor for many years and do know what to do for ROM, which is range of motion exercises. I guess the fact that rain has been scarce, especially in the mornings when I utilize my facility is a plus. Our usual rain pattern does come in the afternoon that was the way it has always been, but of recent years it has not adhered to that exactness. It was almost like clock-work you could set your watch by it, but I guess hurricanes and El Ninos and La Ninas have changed it somewhat.

On that additional info I will bid you all a good night and to all count those blessings and be safe, and I will too!
