No work 2day

Started my day off off right with a healthy wholesome breakfast. Yeah right. Hey, it has fruit on it. And I didn’t eat all of it. (Yet)

And…

I have been here 2 weeks today – but this is the first time I have seen the sunrise. Most days, I go to work at O-Dark-Hundred… and on the weekends it has been rainy.

I took today off for no apparent reason. I really am all settled in. I bought as big a mirror as I could carry home – about 3 blocks. Don’t know if I like it now that I have it here. Well, if I don’t like it – off it goes to the “What Not Shop” – The Asylum’s Thrift Shop.

This afternoon, I realized that all of these 500 plus/minus inmate here at The Asylum are a shock to my system. I am just not used to interacting with that many people. I am not used to people trying to get me to join the “Green Team” or to come to “Line Dancing”. (It is a little like a Club Med vacation in the 1980s.) I am not used to having dinner a big tables where I am supposed to be sociable. For 30+ years, I ate dinner across from a man who I really didn’t have to talk to. He didn’t like to talk while he was eating. So, after lunch, I locked myself in my room. Took a nice long nap. Made my own dinner here in the OBC.

AND – GOT TICKETS TO KONA. Friday Oct 30. One way – as usual. DCA-PHX-KOA

Now about VW – Excuse me – but I really don’t believe that 3 rogue computer programmers decided to rig the emissions test all by themselves. Oh, they could have thought it up. They might even have tested the code… But, to install it and leave it in the production model just for giggles… Not happening. Don’t toss the programmers under the bus.
