Nobody is Promised Tomorrow. . .
I love the urban life. I really have to find myself an old ladies asylum in a city, any city. Actually, one block from this market – there is an old folks asylum – but it is a condo. And, I have convinced myself that I don’t want to own a condo. I have the soul of a renter – not an owner.
I got a few peaches at the market and log five miles on the FitBit today.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: Turkey, swiss and coleslaw – one of my favs. And melon from yesterday’s trek to the Clarendon market.
We enjoyed a fine double rainbow for about 15 minutes last evening. We were able to see all of both bows. I do not a wide enough lens to capture it. But, it was magic.
I was planning on going to a sales event at the old ladies asylum next Tuesday. I got a reprieve. The sales event is fully subscribed.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: Grilled chicken and cheese. With “buffalo” dressing.
My busy social schedule is starting to fill up. Another trip to the old folks asylum is on tap for next week and a visit to see Mr C’s radiologist in two weeks.
If it wasn’t so hot (95 today) – I’d hop on a bus and go walkabout around the two asylums. One is in Fairfax county and the other in Alexandria. Neither is located in a walker friendly neighborhood. I am very spoiled, walking-wise. And public transit-wise.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: Tuna.
This is the mask that nailed Mr C down whilst he was being nuked in the head. It is hanging on our living room wall. I was playing with the new camera. Face detection was turned on. And the camera detected this face. The “face” is decorated for July 4th. Hey, if we had a stuffed moose head on the wall, we would decorate it – does Mr C’s head deserve any less?
Enjoy every sandwich: Grill ham and swiss.
It always reminds me of “War of the Worlds”. The Martians, or rather fireworks, are creeping ever closer.
This one was one of the first ones. The lights are still on at the capital. So, the PBS show was still going on.
I widened the shot out a little. The Martians are still out there. And a couple have sneaked across the river to Arlington. (The Arlington illegal fireworks way is to shoot them off in a public park during the big show. Unless you do something egregious – you will get away with it. The cops are busy getting ready for a massive traffic mess starts as soon as the fireworks are done.)
And this is all the fireworks until next year. (Clicking on the image makes it bigger.)
Enjoy every sandwich: Salmon burritos.
Enjoy Every Sandwich – tuna again later today. We had shrimp, with fresh green beans and tomato for lunch.
Le Tour started today.
The new camera did not turn me into a wild life photographer. When pig fly. That is when I’ll make it as a wild life photographer.
I put my four-thirds adapter on the camera and slapped on the Leica zoom lens. The lens works fine. I lost usage of the aperture ring. But, I knew that would happen. Autofocus works fine. Maybe finer than it works on the old L1.
Too windy (from Hurricane Arthur) to photograph bees today. No magnolia showed up. Hence “wildlife”.
Enjoy every sandwich… I’ll be putting out tuna sandwiches about 8PM. Fireworks at 9PM.
Must learn how to nail the focus on the new camera. Also, hoping I can figure our how to do fireworks before tomorrow night.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: Cheese Burgers.
Mr C started looking at the literature from the old folks asylum. I wonder: Is he looking for “me” or for “us”?
The new camera was here when I got home from “work”. It is a bit of a learning experience. But, I think I am going to love this camera. But, first, I must do some serious manual reading. Hope I can figure out enough to shoot fireworks on Friday.
And, it do need some accessories. Starting with a strap that doesn’t SHOUT Olympus E-M1.
Busy today. I didn’t want to be busy. I wanted to play with new camera. Well, maybe tomorrow.
Enjoying Every Sandwich. One of my favorites today – turkey, swiss and coleslaw. And – how about a beer for me. Ice cream for Mr C.
Went out for walkabout early this morning and found Mr C and Mr Bob “playing” tennis.
Sprung for a “new” camera today. I got a used Olympus OMD-EM1 whatever that is. And a lens adapter – so I can use my collection of four-thirds lenses. Think of it as recycling.
Well, I made a site visit to another old folks home today. They fed me lunch. It was OK. Actually, lunch was fine. Living with a bunch of 80 somethings – maybe not so fine. But, I am 70 something. In my head I am maybe 50 something.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: Chicken, cheese and tomato sandwich.
The bunny is so busted. Bunny ate all the scarlet runner beans at in the Library’s veggie garden.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: Yesterday’s chicken, cheese and pineapple quesadilla was excellent. Today – think we will have salmon sandwiches. With a side of cantaloupe.
Going to check out an old folks asylum tomorrow. All my by myself. Mr C has opted out. He says he isn’t going to be alive when it comes time to move in. Or if he is alive, he will not be well enough to be admitted.
There were bees – but, I rather like this one without any bees.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: How does chicken, cheese and pineapple sound? Sounds good to me. And, I am the cook. I might even make it into a quesadilla. That sounds wrong doesn’t it? Pineapple quesadilla.
Be afraid. Be very afraid. Two really really important Supreme Court rulings due tomorrow.
