Home is behind, the world ahead, |
My first summer in Texas (1995) was also my first summer with my own place (I didn't want to live in barracks any more).
That summer I fought the Battle of the Cockroaches...at least one and usually two a day I would chase with a can of raid, and I had roach poison out everywhere.
I won. I think I might have seen two roaches the last summer I was there (1999).
Thanks for the memories. I still miss that place.
HAPPY FRIDAY!
Well then! That one has me scrolling back to see what I missed!
She's playing mind games.
WooHoo! It's raining!
Izzit time to go home yet?
My apologies. Didn't realize how bad that looked until I saw it posted and such.
*sigh* IT's that kind of day already.
I should go home before I get in real trouble.
So what is there to do in Dallas/Ft. Worth? I'm there most of next week and would like to get a good steak.
Heh.
I'm already home. Need to get packed, though.
*shudder*
When I finally leave Miami, one of my top priorities is moving to someplace that has small cockroaches or none at all.
The little ones don't bother me. It's the ones large enough to throw a saddle on that completely freak me out.
hehehehe...
Moral of last night's story:
Don't play with nurse sharks, vote Democrat or sue God.
Always good advice.
We usually tried to avoid riding the trains during that time of day, but the girls were coming home from Shinjuku late on the evening of the Fireworks Festival and got caught in that crush of folks. The 'pushers' were there because they are the signalmen to the driver of the train, and they never had to actually use their batons, but the girls said that it was close!
When the Japanese are tourists, they aren't bound by their strict codes of behavior, after all, they're not in Japan! They may think of us in the same way when we're over there. Apparently loud talking and laughing are frowned upon on the Metro, but we did it all the time. I'm sure there were people watching us and thinking "Gaijin", and not in a good way.
We got almost a quarter of an inch of rain!!! I'm soo glad I mowed yesterday.
Looks like it will be clear for a while so I need to take Gypsy for her morning walk.
Have a great time on your vacation and don't worry too much about Miss Cat, she'll be fine!
I didn't mow because the only thing that needs it is the crabgrass next to the sunroom...hardly worth cranking up the mower.
Know what you mean! I cheated and watered the lawn a couple of times, and even though I pick up after Gypsy, there is enough, ahem, residue, that the backyard stays pretty well fertilized.
BBL
Heh. I never water grass...guess that's why I've got the crabgrass. It's been so dry even the weeds in the front yard haven't sent up flower stalks.
Good morning everyone!
Morning!
Just cleaning out the ol' travel bag....can't bring a combat knife to the airport, ya know.
Which knife?
