Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

A human who has been directed by computer to deliver my new bass is headed to my home today.

This is the step they will use to drop it at the door. The door next to the outlet in need of a weather cap. The railing is new, too.


Life is full of stumbling blocks. That last step can trip you up both coming and going.

From there, the bass falls from the drivers hands, the end of the G string pokes through the box and finds its way into the open receptacle. The driver goes to pick the bass up and POW! Now you've got a real debacle on your hands.
 
Prior to full vaccination, stepping on a crack broke my mother's back. Being who she is, it is I who takes the fall and scrape my knee on the sidewalk by the CVS because of a limited field of vision. The Great Mum In the Sky said wear a mask and boom so

Now I've a nobby mask that I intend to use [winslow] whilst [/winslow] airborne. Certain I saw a headline stating Delta is selling middle seats again. :meh: And yet now permitted by law, and a vaccine card, to walk around outside without a mask

My goodness what has this world come to?
 
Expecting an important delivery and being away chauffering do not intutitively bode well together.

The great FedEx tracker computer thingie says it will be delivered before I take my friend to the doctor's. That means I'll be twiddling my thumbs for a bit with the new bass at home :meh:

Walking around outside without a mask is fine as long as you can distance. On a plane, never. Middle seats should be verboten unless a dog is in that space. And if you are wearing a mask, you should be given priority boarding.

here laughing at a Tiktok I don't know how to link because of being a technological GoF ... a sad young woman says "When my husband died I couldn't shower alone for 12 years"
long pause
now she's happy — "But I'm out of prison now!"
:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

gotta get dressed, it's going to be a pig of a day with rain and 27C, gotta take a friend to the doctor's


LOL!

There are significant cracks and subsidence in sidewalks at the school. It's been that way for a long time. Their method to fix - put yellow caution paint on the areas. I like the arrow idea better maybe with a sign that says "Hey dummy, don't trip on this".

My expected package returned to Lafayette from Baton Rouge and has traveled to the "city" of its final destination. It is out for delivery and an official representative of a department of our federal government will be bringing it to me. This particular individual usually arrives around 3:00 pm but sometimes is here as early as 2:59. Unfortunately, I am not receiving a bass guitar (I have all of those that I want [this is the internet, I can lie if I want to]) but something much more mundane.
 
Interesting comparison of the Roaring 20s to now.

Well, that's memory for you.

And in truth I steer clear of math like the plague, yet dabble in science-y things now and again ... a fairly exhaustive book (forgot title and all) about the Spanish Flu. What I recall is the rate of mutation was too rapid to find an actual sample of the virus at its most deadly. And by some good fortune plus readiness found the virus in native Alaskans buried in permafrost.

Plagues and Peoples is a pretty good read on the intersection of war and disease.
