I’m very tired today.

I’m sure it is that tooth, and when I go to Walgreen’s in the morning to get my prescription for the neck meds, I’m going to check the price of clove oil. I used to keep it on hand, but somehow, I don’t have it. I probably gave it to Busdaddy in a fit of compassion a couple of years ago.

I hope it’s not too expensive, because I really need some relief. And no, the morphine isn’t making a dent in the pain.

I know I should do more to share the peaceful and idyllic background of my life, the way Moose and NC do. So here's Canal at Centre street, the joyful scene I see every day on the way to and from work.

Good to see the Sun was out, Argee.
We had rain this morning.

[Monkey Face]

I was in NYC once and that was enough. Sorry, but I just don’t care for the place.

[Monkey Face]

And now kids, I’m off to watch the Blanket Show! See all y’all tomorrow!

[ArGee]

We’re getting rain tonight. Probably will start about the time I begin the 4-times-a-week drive around lookin for alternate-side parking.

Flash flood warnings are in effect. Too bad those flash floods never put a dent in the rat population.

I mean the 4-legged rat population. Not the Democrats. Not that they’re easy to tell apart.

[ArGee]

About the same way I feel about LVNV.

But, it’s a living.

[Tax-chick]

I’m not good with pictures.

[Tax-chick]

Sorry about your tooth, hope you have a good night!

Still prodding S1 into that position. At 21, he’s ripe, but $10.50 an hour part-time at Chik-fil-A isn’t very enabling. Pushing him to bring his other skills to bear in something above the minimum wage market.

[Tax-chick]

That’s about what our S1 makes working the deli counter at Harris Teeter. Once he finishes his final college course, which will be in a couple of weeks, he hopes they’ll let him work full-time, at least, while he hunts for a “real job.”

"What worked, what almost worked, what totally didn’t work...
The view from the ledge..."

These days, that counts as poetry; and pretty good poetry at that. It's better than some self-styled "poets laureate" I've seen.

The local airport isn’t very crowded, it’s a 05:30 flight, first of four that day.

[null and void]

Nope, visiting a vendor.

[null and void]

Are you, perchance, related to Trigger Argee?

[HKMk23]

[bows] High praise indeed, sir.

[NoCmpromiz]

‘Tis a positively pastoral setting.

Somewhere.

Just not at Canal and Centre..

I don’t like LVNV either, but I like the climate. And I’m 15 miles from the city and only have to deal with it once a month, so until I can leave, I’ll do just that: Deal with it.

I’m sure I would hate it even more if I had to work there these days. When I first moved here, it was still a small town and had that sleepy feeling that a lot of desert towns have. Not now. Too much crime and too many people. ‘

And worst of all LVNV is a sanctuary city.

[Monkey Face]

Looks almost like camouflage kitteh! Pretty coloring.

And once again, it’s morning. So howdy, everybody!

My finger is almost “normal” size now, and my tooth only hurts in spasms this morning.

I will shower and then go to Walgreen’s and get the stuff for my neck, and check on the clove oil. I think I won’t be without it until I can get my mouth worked on in St. George. I don’t know what that will cost me, but I will somehow manage it.
