Retirement has been great, except when I am at home for extended periods. It is easy to see work that doesn't need to be done, but I do it anyway, knowing it will eventually need to be done. So, I do these tasks at my own pace, but traveling and wandering are much more enjoyable.
My next trip was planned for a few weeks, heading toward Colorado/Wyoming/Montana for 10 days. I was most excited about attending the 59th Annual Buffalo Roundup at Custer State Park on September 27. Well, my early fall plans have now changed. Shelley fractured her ankle and will require surgery with plates/screws. So, my first fall trip is canceled. Oh well, my mate's health is more important!
I did see something yesterday that really made me laugh. A guy parked his hybrid car, got out, and walked into the store. I was waiting for Shelley, who had an appointment. Then I heard the car engine start, likely because the AC was on. I went to see if there was a dog, but nothing was in sight. When the man came out of the store, he asked what I was doing. I informed him I heard the engine start, and he said, "Damb-it." He explained that he drives a Tesla, and the hybrid was a loaner. Since the Tesla key is his phone, he is accustomed to parking the Tesla and leaving, and it automatically is off and locks. So he parked, left the keys in the car, and left it running out of habit! Glad it was not stolen!
As I try to limit my political opinions on social media, when I saw the image below, I had to share it, as it expressed my thoughts very well! In addition, Margaret and Helen have a post that, to me, is spot on. Unfortunately, I dislike them all for the third consecutive presidential election. Just vote for whom I dislike less.
Carry on my friends, carry on!
