Oct. 3rd, 2017 12:41 pmWe are having a sunbreak this week, and I hope to get more yardwork done. The guy never showed up on monday, and didnt return my text. I spent my time outside pulling weeds and then getting the border cobbles out of the ground. I sat and read the book on how to make a patio. I have several terms to look up now. Plus check the city's website to see if I need a permit.
Today, New Book Tuesday! Lots of things to look at for the first Tuesday of the month! And after all the ususal tuesday errands, I hope to swing by the comix book store to pick up my comix, and then eventually end up at an Egyptian Lecture on "Narcotic of the Nile, the Blue Lotus in Ancient Egypt" presented by Dr W. Benson Harer Jr. Thats at 730pm at PSU... looks to be a day out.
Sad news about Tom Petty, I was heavily into his music when I was in Puerto Rico (him and John Mellencamp) so, its a full turn in a way. Been thinking a lot about my time in PR... the good and the bad. I remembered how on a trip to Aricebo, the alternator on our bus went out, and we were in the countryside, and it was becoming dark. This was after the attack at Sabana Seca, so we were just a tad bit concerned for our safety. Our bus radio wasnt getting through, and the small store we were near didnt have a phone. The bottle of rum they sold us was dirt cheap, but the six pack of coke was like 4 times the cost. Eventually we got motivated and we push started our bus (it was a smaller bus, but still a bus) on a badly paved road, and I remember I was wearing flip flops.. our driver kept the bus revved and we headed back to base. We did break a few laws because no way in hell were we going to stop the bus.
Las Vegas, thats a whole other thing. I listened to some of the commentary .. but the one about "this isnt the time to bring up gun control, but when will it be a good time to discuss this?" said it all. This guy was a rich white dude, not a jihadist, and possibly having a mental break. He had more guns than needed to survive against the zombie attack or a bison stampede.
