Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[beans-on-toast]

I went out earlier this morning and had a close encounter with a skunk on the sidewalk. Up the street, I thought it was a kitty and called it, then realized that it weren’t no kitty. It seemed friendly enough. It didn’t point it’s back end at me. It was a beautiful animal, very clean and had a thick coat.

She said that she brewed it up for everyone but didn’t share.

If it weren't for the stank, they'd be cute little buggers. Several small/young ones live around the hotel I'm staying in. Fun to watch the small ones move through thick, tall grass that could use a mowing.

That's 120°F. Holy cwapola. Death Valley at its hottest.

I don't know how it is now, but years ago, flying to Europe in the summer meant very JUNIOR flight attendants. Flight attendants bid on routes. The more senior, the more likely you get your preference. Senior flight attendants never bid for August to Europe because the hotels they stayed in before their flight back were not air conditioned.

My third and final ex had to go to London for a meeting, and made the monster mistake of staying in a Holiday Inn near Heathrow. When she called the front desk to ask where the controls for the a/c were, they laughed at her. No a/c here, dear. She deserved it. Should have asked me for suggestions. Don't miss her a bit.

I find that most guys who have been divorced usually don’t talk about how hot their ex is!

There's more than one kind of "hot". She was a "hot mess". Super smart. Made lots of money. Lived in her own little world.

Borrowing and modifying...

All for her, and she for herself.

I've made lots of mistakes in my life.

What you call rain in biblical proportions.

I find gender is not a determination of just how whacked someone is, or can be.

Really could have had the house built at the very least a foot higher in elevation. If I had only known...
We’ve never had an outright flood in the basement but water has kissed the bottom of the floor boards. (Wooden basement built on a bed of gravel)

Is that a 'Hawk' behind it?

Yes, it is. He has several Studes including two pick ups.
