Volume 16 - Day 341/25, 2024 - Friday

AMAZONESIA. I just made up this word, what do I have to do to copyright it. I think all I have to do is publish it, and then I own it. Your counsel will be appreciated. But I digress. Amazonesia is a malady spreading like the plague across the country. You can easily recognize if you are a victim if you present any of the following symptoms: Not sure what you have ordered from Amazon. Not knowing if everything you have ordered from Amazon has been delivered or not. Surprise upon seeing a package from Amazon on your stoop and wondering what is in the box. Questioning the fact that you have 13 charges from Amazon on your credit card statement and not knowing what any of the charges are for. If you are concerned that you are one of the afflicted, give me a call, we will commiserate together. But make sure you still have some money on your credit card available, and I will need the three digit code on the back of the card, too. Today was a pretty good day, it started out with a very chilly walk. The last time I looked at my thermometer, it was 53 degrees, and that is code for it is bitterly cold outside. It is going to get worse next week, I will need to bring plants in on Tuesday afternoon, but I think it will be warm again in about 10 days. I had three errands to run on the way home this afternoon, and I only completed two of them. One included a visit to a shop on the square in Georgetown, but today is the first day of their Holiday Strolls, so there was no way to get within six blocks of the place. I did manage to get to HEB, where I spent $28, and felt good that I was one of the few people there that was not screaming at someone.
