You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows

"Oh, get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance
Learn to dance, get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't want to be a bum"

Watered the girls and raspberries this morning. Spread out the last bag of bark I picked up, I could use a couple more to finish off behind the patio. Ordered take and bake pizza for dinner so I can be lazy tonight. Only found a 25% discount code online, I can usually find a 30% one. Road trip to pick it up in a couple. I'll grab beer on the way home.

I was so happy to get my ac fixed on Monday, I really don't do well when it's hot in the house and the long stretch of 80s and humidity was making me cranky. Of course, a couple of days later and we're back in the 50s with the heat kicking on. Brought my car into my mechanic a couple days ago, and went to deliver six ounces on the scooter all across the city. Finished another harvest week last night. I've had reduced yield for the last few trays as I stunted the ladies' growth a bit aggressively ridding myself of fungus gnats with a pyrethrin solution. Last time I do that, as the plants are much healthier with gnats and no insecticide. Spent a bunch of money upgrading my chamber group's gear, new tablets on which to read sheet music (no more HUGE music binders to organize and carry around!), bluetooth pedals for hands free page turning, and cool, new expensive PA system, new cart for my pianist to carry all gear in one trip from the car, etc.. We're all pretty stoked. LOTS of gigs lately, really busy. My married violinist gf took me out to eat a my fav French restaurant last week for my birthday, so weird and wonderful to have cocktails and dinner out again! I enjoy being so busy again, seems America is on the mend.

well it's a damn good thing i know how to ride, a tourist just came around a corner half in my lane, actually side swiped me just enough to make me almost drive off the road...guess it was a good thing i was on a scooter, or my leg would have been in one of those pictures.20210528_170745.jpg20210528_170814.jpg20210528_170832.jpg
this is the reason i don't carry a pistol. i caught up to them, and they refused to acknowledge my existence. if i had a pistol with me, i would have just shot their fucking tires out and ridden away...or perhaps they would have returned fire...either way, i had a good chance of ending up in jail, the hospital, or the morgue. i got their tag number and reported it, but it's their word against mine, no witnesses. we'll see how this goes...

You're on a scooter......did you think they would have taken you seriously? A pistol? Really?

why wouldn't they take me seriously? they just side swiped another vehicle on the road, does it really matter wtf it was? and i was seriously considering following them till they ran out of gas, i had just filled up, i can guarantee you they would have run out before me...
and my scooter goes 70 mph, and it does it in under 12 seconds from a dead stop. some people smile when they see me, but they usually quit smiling when i pass them

Nah I don't think what you are on should mean anything....I agree with that. But if you had a pistol you'd pull it? Accidents happen...where they aggressive or running away?

Folks still announce that they've received the vaccine? It's like April all over again.

we were just talking about how the second dose effected more people than the first dose did, as far as flu like symptoms, especially those that had had covid already. i was pretty sure a co-worker had infected me months ago, and i was asymptomatic, but people who have already had it and get vaccinated tend to be hit hard, and i feel nothing besides a slight soreness at the injection site, so perhaps i was not infected earlier

Understood, but you've overestimated my need for that follow-up. Thanks for not shooting anyone today.
