So Far, Not Such A Hot Summer …….

June has turned out to be kind of a wash out, literally - most days were overcast with occasional showers. Again, I haven't heard from Doyle and there's been no sign of Gordon. I try not to think about that but it's always in the back of my mind.

I've mentioned before that I take a lot of meds because of the transplant and some of them tend to come up for renewal at the same time. That happened this month.

On Tuesday the 6th, I drove up to Walmart (my Pharmacy is there) and picked one up. When I came out I watched as a tour bus pulled up into the lot and parked beside the store.

No one got off and no one got on. I thought that the passengers maybe were foreign tourists and their guide was explaining about how important Walmart is to America.  I waited for a while to see if  anything happened but I got bored and left.

Friday the 8th, I was out early and I was hungry. I stopped at Denny's for breakfast.

Monday the 11th, I gave in. My wipers have been streaking the windshield for months and I stopped at AutoZone but there was only one guy working so he couldn't leave the store to do the installation. I went to the Advanced Auto Parts store on St. George and got it taken care of.

Thursday the 14th, I slept in. I went through my morning routine and left my apartment around 8. I was hungry and I stopped at McDonald's for breakfast.

I ordered Pancakes and a large soft drink. I didn't actually get a soft drink but I filled up the cup with ice and water.

This worked out pretty well. I decided to give up caffeine for a while because of some physical issues and the large drink is only $1.

Thursday the 21st, I was back up at Walmart to pick up another scrip.  On my way out, I saw this truck. I've said before that I don't like truckers who pull into store parking lots and take up a row of spaces. Here was a trucker who was carrying trucks.

I drove around the car carrier and saw that there was no one there.

Point, press, Flash.

I wondered as I drove by if any of the cars were effected but I really didn't care.

This morning I stopped at Shoprite and picked up some things. The sun came out and I decided to just drive around a bit. On my way up Amboy Avenue I wound up behind this guy.

I'm very conscious of motorcycle riders because I know a few. Still this guy was only doing about 20 in a 35 mile zone. I was annoyed so, when I had the chance, I passed him. I was going to do something or make a gesture but then I got a quick look at him. I'm guessing he was about 80, wearing a helmet, and going as fast as he could.

So far, not such a hot summer but some people know how to enjoy it.
