Strange and not very wonderful day.

Same palm tree different day.

Day started just like yesterday. Billy and I sitting on our picnic table waiting for sunrise. Billy is drinking coffee, but I forgot mine. That should have been a sign. But we did see a pod of dolphins swimming south while an eagle ray skimmed along the surface in the shallows.

Later in the morning, I got an email from Fitbit telling me how much I walked last year. That pleased me.

Fine Avocado.

Checked my avocado to see if it was ready for lunch. Nope. So, it was an avocado-free sandwich.

Then I noticed – my Fitbit was dead.

After 5 years. It died.

I loved that silly thing. It was a retail therapy purchase when Carlton was sick and we were pretending that he was “fine”. It was my oldest piece of technology. You can still buy them. I knee jerk started to order a replacement, but I got annoyed with fitbit’s ordering system. So, I am just going to try using my phone.

I have company from The Asylum arriving Saturday. And, I am getting a cold. I hope that it is a quick one!

The final insult will be The Orange Lord who will be “addressing the nation” in 28 minutes. I will watch. I suppose that he will announce that he will declare an emergency and direct the military to build his damn wall. To mind comes: Hadrian’s Wall, the Great Wall of China, The Maginot Line, The Berlin Wall. Don’t recall that any of them were great successes. But, that is just me. I am not one of the Orange Lord’s Devoted Followers. Or he may wait and do it on Thursday when he “goes to the border”.

. . . 

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H.L. Menchen,  Baltimore Sun, July 26, 1920.
