life in the old lane

I was tromping around the neighborhood. And, I found some blooming onions. Spring is almost over. And, so are the flowers. Summer is just green and hot followed by brown and hotter. But wait – I forgot about the magnolias. Something to look forward to.

Enjoy Every Sandwich: Turkey and swiss on whole wheat.

About 10 days ago, I snapped this oniony thing. Allium giganteum to you gardener types. Yesterday, I was out on my walk and a passed by the big old onion again. It had changed.

Nothing stays the same, I am sure that is good. Otherwise we would still be living in caves, chasing wooly mammoths and dying before our 25th birthday.

Mr C played tennis again today. Apparently without any problems.

Enjoy Every Sandwich: Roast beef, bacon, tomato, cheese sub…

Enjoy Every Sandwich: Cheese and Chicken Quesadilla, with some avocado and pineapple.

Now for something more attractive. Not prettier – because Merkel Creature getting smaller is pretty damn pretty – but more attractive.

 

 

Took the elderly Panasonic L1 out on my afternoon walkabout. I

Mr C played tennis today for the very first time in months. He reports that he had grand fun. At this instant, life is good. And this instant is all anyone has.

Enjoy Every Tuna Melt Sandwich.

And why exactly does that lovely old camera languish in the camera box on the shelf in the bedroom? It makes lovely images. Note to self: take the L1 out more often.

We had a salmon feast for lunch today. (Wild Alaskan, not farmed – thank you). With spinach and strawberry salad and big fat croissant. So, today –

Lots of big trucks at the library today. Gee, that picture could be better focused. Oh Dear. Oh Well. There was even a county bus. People lined up to see it too. Heck, for 90 cents they could ride the bus. And, they wouldn’t have to wait in line.

BTW – the garbage truck wasn’t squeaky clean.

I logged 5.5 miles on my FitBit today.

Enjoy Every Sandwich: Cheese Burgers Today.

The other day when I was logging my exercise miles, I came upon this 10 foot chunk of old wall all trussed up in the middle of a construction site. The only thing I can figure out is that this is a historic preservation job. And if this little chunk of the old building is included in the new building then someone gets a historic easement tax break.

Mr C is still doing fine. He said this was Lucky #13 treatment today.

Enjoy Every Sandwich – Turkey Swiss Coleslaw on Ciabatta.

You gotta love a person who has a great old car and takes it to the grocery store on Saturday morning.

I am reading a rather poorly written book about an attack on the US and Europe. A 21st century drama. The evil ones are plotting to destroy the internet and along with is Western Civilization. Oh, I believe that it could happen. But, we westerners did produce this super fine auto without the internet. Or even a computer. Maybe a slide-rule or two.

Has anyone else noticed that real scary teabaggers seem to be winning Republican primaries in some locked in Republican senate and house districts? We do live in “interesting times”.

Enjoy Every Sandwich: Barbecued brisket on a roll.

Peonies are wonderful. They enjoy 2 glorious weeks every May – weather permitting.

Mr. C’s radiologist is happy with the Merkel creature extermination process. Of course, it isn’t Dr Bobby’s life on the line.

Love being an apartment dweller. Last night – after it finished nuking our dinner veggies – the microwave died. I put in a request to fix the microwave. And when I came home at noon today, a new microwave was installed over the stove. No shopping, no figuring out what to do with the dead nuker, no problems getting it installed. The “new” microwave is 12 years old. But, it works. And, it looks just about like the old one. Fits over the stove. Has lights all that stuff. And, if it dies… I’ll just put in another repair ticket. (Oh and the new microwave is all squeeky clean. Can not say that about the old one.)

Enjoy Every Sandwich: Nothing fancy. Tuna melt for Mr C. Plain tuna for me.

Merkel creature is smaller! Still has a way to go. But, it is going.

Enjoy Every Sandwich: We will be having tuna salad for sandwiches for dinner. But, I made myself as super sandwich for lunch – left over chicken, provolone and blueberries stuffed into pita and nuked a little. Mr C went out to lunch today.

Did my 5 miles forced march today. It was 92°

 

A fine early summer day.

The radiology techs think that Mr C needs a new calibration run. They think the creature has shrunk and they want to move the death ray a little closer to his skull. I suppose they will recalibrate him tomorrow. Tomorrow is picture day too. You have been warned. Don’t tune in tomorrow if you don’t want to see the creature again.

Enjoy every sandwich: Fried egg sandwich with cheese and salsa.
