June started out pretty quietly.
As has been our routine, I've been swinging by on Tuesday and Friday mornings to watch my Granddaughter and let my Son-in-law sleep in a little (he's now working nights). Then things started to pile up.

Tuesday the 6th, I was up early so I swung by Shoprite before Babysitting. I knew that they had some mini-muffins on sale and I know she likes them. When I came out, I noticed this truck.
I've said before that truckers who park this way annoy me. I was peeved but I had to be somewhere. Then I noticed that it was a Bud Light truck. I drove around the lot and came up behind it.
Point, press, Flash.
I drove down to my Granddaughter's and had a nice morning.
Thursday the 8th, I drove down to New Brunswick for Blood Work. I took Route 27, as usual. It was early but I thought that the traffic was pretty heavy. Along the way, I saw this guy.
He seemed to be waiting for a bus. There were too many people around.
Friday the 9th, I Babysat.
Monday the 12th, I drove up to the MVC in Rahway. My car was due for Inspection. I knew they opened at 8 so I got there about 7:45. The line was all the way out to the street. It was just too hot to wait.
Tuesday the 13th, I Babysat.
Wednesday the 14th, I decided to bite the bullet and go for the Inspection. I stopped, first, at Dunkin' Donuts to get some breakfast to take with me. I saw this guy parked outside. He was in the "No Parking/Fire Zone" Area.
I see someone doing this almost every time I stop here and it annoys me. I usually just let it go but today - anticipating a lengthy wait at the MVC - I reacted. I drove out one exit and in the next.
Point, press, Flash.
I drove up to Rahway and - to my surprise - was in and out in about 10 minutes.
Thursday the 15th, I had my semi-annual appointment with my Cardiologist in New Brunswick. My appointment was for 9:20 but I got there 2 hours early in order to get a spot in the garage next door. I had a leisurely breakfast in the hospital cafeteria (I actually like their food). Things went well, they took me early, and everything is good.
On a whim, I took Route 514 back. That's where I saw this woman.
I drove by.
Friday the16th, I Babysat.
Tuesday the 20th, I drove over to Babysit and saw this guy.
Not sure why he was there but I drove by. When I got to my Granddaughter's house and pulled up to the curb something ripped a hole out of my front-passenger tire and it blew. I didn't call AAA until 11 because I was having a good time. The AAA mechanic put on the donut that I had and I drove home.
This morning, the 21st, I was up early - again - so I picked up some breakfast and went up to Atlantic Tires on St. George Avenue to get a replacement. I was out in about 1/2 hour and, when it was done, I took the side street out and rode up through Avenel. That's where I noticed this.
This is another thing that annoys me - parking the wrong way. I slowed down. I looked around. There was no one else around.
Point, press, Flash.
Good luck moving that car now.
I headed for home smiling.
