Day Fifty...

THE NINETEENTH OF TWENTY EIGHT THINGS I SEE BETWEEN MY HOUSE AND THE HIGHWAY...in no particular order...

Well, we do indeed get some wind up here in this area, lots of wind, lots of the time. From what we have been told however, there is no wind when you would really like i, like in the dog days of summer when it is 110 degrees. That is when you would welcome a nice cool breeze. But of course that is too much like right! About ten years ago (maybe more maybe less) there was a very destructive tornado that hit the Jarrell area, and that is just about six miles or so from us. It totally wiped out a subdivision of homes, and I mean there was nothing left of the homes except for the slabs. No splintered wood, nothing. It was all just gone. So I do not find it unusual to see shelters her in this area. The odd part is that we do not see more of them. They may be there, but most likely just not as obvious as this one. I wonder how deep it is, and what is inside it. Hopefully, it will never have to be used for more than storing canned goods. We shall see...

The black cat reappeared during the day yesterday (up on the roof of the house according to Jody) and last night when we returned from dinner, it was out on the patio waiting for its' own dinner. Jody put some food outside for it, and that was pretty much that. We did not let the cat in the house last night, and everyone got a good nights sleep. When I got the newspaper this morning, the cat was out on the patio and looking for its' food again, so Jody fed it, and it looks like we will now have an outside cat. I hope that will last for a while, I would really not be happy if in fact the coyotes got it. If you are looking for a cute little cat to call your own, let us know, we know where you can find one.

Much later the same day...traffic was, as Queen Elizabeth II would say...trafficus horribilus...yep, it sucked this afternoon coming home, but it gave me plenty of time to make phone calls and to get some stuff like that taken care of.

The black cat has pretty much taken up residence, although it is as an outside cat, not yet an inside cat...I am not sure how long that will last. Jody said she (the cat) paraded past the patio windows this afternoon carrying one unhappy mouse. Did not actually see the consumption of said mouse, but that is the likely outcome (or ingestion) of said poor mouse. That is not the worst that could happen, as I said in a post a few days ago. So, we have a small cat bed set up in a corner of the covered patio, with a couple small pillows and blankies to keep her/him/it warm and dry. It is supposed to reach about 35 degrees tonight, so the cat should be fine. I hope it does not turn out to be a coyote trapped cat in the long-term. We shall (as I am so wont to say) see...

Otherwise, life is good. Allegedly the condo may still close tomorrow, but it is kind of iffy right now. The title company has received the buyer's funds, so that is a positive sign, and if it does actually close tomorrow, it may not fund until Monday, so there will be that delay in the Buyer's obtaining access to the property. Again, WSS...

Okay, it is now time to discuss good deeds we have done for the day...my BEST deed of the day was delivering my meals-on-wheels route. If it's Thursday, it must be meals-on-wheels day. I am down to seven clients from a high of eleven. You never get any word about what happens to these folks...they just kind of come and go. AND another good deed I did today was to actually let a couple people cut in front of me in traffic. You might not think that is a good deed, but for me, that is a real sacrifice.

No, what did you do today that was a benefit to society? I'll bet yo can think of at least three things...
