Nobody is Promised Tomorrow. . .
Had the last of the Thanksgiving turkey, with Safeway stuffing and gravy for dinner today. But now I have leftover stuffing and gravy. Mr C says he is more than happy to eat just stuffing and gravy. No turkey required. No veggies needed either. I think we are a little too old to worry about eating a “balanced diet”, don’t you?
Got a nice shot of the Octopus last night – but it was gone this morning. Maybe it sailed out on the morning tide. We’ll see.
It is raining at this instant. And the ocean has a bit of a chop. Good afternoon to curl up with a Kindle and cup of Kona’s finest coffee.
New month. Last month of the year. Last month of forever if this Mayan thing happens 21.dec.12. I am cool either way.
Carlton is being a museum guard tonight. His Palace is having a $100 a head fundraiser. I sent Carlton’s Palace a generous donation in lieu of going to the dinner. I got one of the ever popular in Kona “$10 Steak Dinner” fund raising things. Some school was raising money. The steak dinner – really a bento box plus a bottle of Costco water is more my style. They had pot holders, rice cookers, and 5 gallons of gas at their silent auction. I am guessing Carlton’s do had more up market items for sale at their auction.
I don’t know if they will feed Carlton. So, I saved him half of my dinner. I sure don’t want to have to fix him dinner when he gets home after 9PM.
The last day of November. And the last day of the B/W street shots.
The Octopus is still here. Apparently no guests on board. Just the crew – all 60 of them. Yesterday they went to Target and came back with a Zodiac full of Xmas decorations. Carlton thinks it might stay around until Xmas.
Carlton thinks he might need to go see a dentist. Don’t think he is interested in seeing my guy. We have never been happy with the same dentist.
The goddess punished me for shopping at WalMart. My BP drugs – my prescription is currently at WalMart online. I would think I could have it filled at the Kona WalMart – but NO. Can not even order it online and have it delivered to my local WalMart. Never mind what the website says. Then WalMart didn’t have any Luna Bars. No clothes washing soap in small size. No coffee creamer in Carlton’s favorite flavor. So, I hiked up the hill for nothing. On the way back, I got everything except the BP drugs at my local hometown grocery store. Served me right for trying shop at WalMart.
Took today’s street shot with the iPod. Yes, he was still alive.
The Octopus seemed to be getting packed up and ready to go today. I guess the uber-rich can only stand so much fun.
Mailed my Xmas presents today. And, got another pumpkin pie – on sale – I declared pumpkin pie a veggie. Just nice winter squash. So for dinner we’ll be having turkey-pineapple-mac nut salad, rice and “veggies” tonight.
I was playing paparazzi – taking more pictures of The Octopus – when I looked the other direction and way in the distance – a guy throw netting.
Also, started and finished my holiday shopping. Shopped at our local museum shop. And, purchased locally produced items. Will attend to packing and mailing early next week.
A good friend brought baggies of turkey and ham over this afternoon. The Thanksgiving Fairy.
Took a walk to get a better look at The Octopus.
and…
Had an altogether fine turkeyless Turkey Day. Did have pumpkin pie and whipped cream.
I walked 5.25 miles, went for a swim and took pictures of Paul Allen’s yacht – The Octopus.
The Octopus, 411 feet, sports two helicopters on the top deck (one in front and one on the back), and a 63-foot tender docked in the transom. There are a total of seven tenders aboard. The yacht also has a pool, located aft on one of her upper decks, and two submarines (one of them operated by remote control for studying the bottom of the ocean). Side hatches at the water line form a dock for jet skis. At least that is what Wikepedia says.
