How about that. Here is what I found at the Costco pump yesterday. I think I said $169.9 yesterday but I was wrong. But where is one to drive to in this age? I do not remember the last time I paid that for gas. I remember paying $25 a gallon when I had my motorcycle BUT that was 50+ years ago! I know people have posted on Facebook when they found gas under $2.00 BUT this! I do know that in the last maybe 5 years once or twice we have found gas at $1.99.9 but I was in shock yesterday when I pulled up to the pump. I thought maybe we should go out and buy a new car just so we could fill up! Maybe that was not a very reasonable idea.
Each day I play tennis I think to myself if this is the last day of tennis for a long time but as of now it still goes on. I have a 10:30 court time this morning.
I have a couple of envelopes to mail today so will get those out before I play. I am wondering if the post offices are open, I would assume they are. There is a gift shop in a strip mall just about a mile from here and in it is a post office. If I remember they open at 8:00. I am debating if I should ride the bike over there or drive.
Terry was out of note cards so I made some for her. A person has to have something to do or life could get crazy.
This is what I saw at the local grocery store. I am thinking they could at least update their signs!
As I look at the weather cities on my phone (I have all the places siblings and kids live) Dave and I win this morning. We have the high here at 67 and Dave has the low at 19! I think Naples is kind of in a heat wave as we are projected to hit 90 on Saturday! As I look at St. Paul by the weekend it is supposed to be in the low 60s
Yesterday Costco was actually not a bad place to shop. It seemed that there were a lot of cars in the lot but when one got into the store you could walk around without bumping into people. When I got in line to check out there was only one person ahead of me. Maybe a first!
When a person has time on their hands one of the things that often happens is you sit back with a cup of coffee or other beverage and dream/think/remember etc. With this coronavirus filling the papers, the airwaves etc I remember back to when Ronald was in college at Ellendale. Of course this was not a wide spread thing but he came home with the mumps! I do not know if this is true but I think he was home for a few weeks and he was concerned about getting behind or dropping out of college as he missed so much. I THINK he pretty much stayed in the living room while he was sick. I am guessing it was kind of early in his college days as I don't remember a lot of details but then it also could be that I am getting kind of old and don't remember things so well! Regardless I do remember it was kind of a fun time for me as big brother was home. Yes, he was in bed much of the time but still just to have him home was special. IF it was his first year of college I probably would have been 8 or so.
I just may do this "remember" in the days ahead. I could have several things about Ronad such as my rifle, my baseball glove, the trailer he made, his Legion ball game, hunting and it goes on. I am guessing I have said this before but as I think back on Ronald and John I am hoping I can be half of what they were/are to other people.
Not much for breakfast this morning. I diced and sliced a hard boiled egg, mixed salt, mayo, and spicy mustard and then slapped it on a slice of bread. It went well with my FP. Oh my John mentioned that he had Folgers yesterday. I just may have to grind some REAL Kona coffee and send to AZ! I think Folgers puts him in the generation with Mom and Dad instead of our generation. I think John reads my blog from time to time so if you are reading this John I am not serious. You are a great guy, Folgers and all!!!
Enough, FP is gone and I am out of the house.
