How’s it going?
Evening, folks.
What’s up?
Nothing much. Just kicking back. Might go out and do some buzzing with the hedge trimmers once it cools a little more. The whole yard needs a workover, we’ve gotten so much rain in the last ten days. Stayed inside all day yesterday. Had my upper GI endo scoping Friday and my throat was a little raw, plus I had a sore spot in my gut where they took a biopsy, so I didn’t feel the need to get all sweaty and start breathing hard. The Endo doc said she didn’t see any varices, only some ‘changes’ because of my ERD (I hate it when they’re vague like that - scarring, I suppose), and the biopsy was just to check for infections like H. pylori, but everything else looked good. Surprising, given what I’ve stuffed down my throat for the last 57 years. I always said I had a cast iron stomach. LOL Nuclear waste doesn’t bother it.
Hi, Guys!
Good. All’s well up here. I’m on vacation till next week so am trying to relax, will be heading down to the NC coast for a few days.
Hi, Gina! Vision, what part, Outer Banks?
Yep, Duck.
In all my travels along the eastern seaboard, I’ve never made it to the Outer Banks. Been to the beaches of FL, GA, VA, MD, DE, but never NC or SC. I’ve always wanted to see Hatteras Light. I think it’s closed this year. I’ve made it up to the observation deck of the St. Augustine Light three times, and it’s a beautiful view out over the bay and the ocean (I think one of my old cellphones still has pics on it). 219 stairs and five landings, but my legs are gone now, I don’t think I could try it again. Not sure how many in Hatteras, but it’s a taller light.
Cool, Vision! Enjoy your vacation!
Another bucket list item: fishing off a pier or a head boat and actually catching something saltwater. The last time in St. Augustine, I fished off the pier on Anastasia Island. Why five hundred college kids thought it was a good idea to whoop, holler, and bob around under the pier while a bunch of us were fishing was beyond me. I was hoping I’d have hooked one right in the ass. Then we rented a cottage in Crooked River State Park in GA, right beside King’s Bay Naval Base, where they keep the nuke subs. There was a public floating dock right beside the park, and we set up camp on it. The tide started coming in, and the drum and sheepshead were following crabs and bait fish right up under the dock around sundown. You should have heard the ruckus they were making when they were feeding off the crabs on the floats. I thought, great, here we go. Then some guy backed his truck up to the ramp, put his boat in the water, and sat there revving his engine for ten minutes and killed the inlet completely. If I’d have been armed, I’d have ventilated his hull. The one thing we did take away was, while we were sitting in the car, we looked out and saw a pod of wild dolphins swimming down the East River, toward the ocean. I’ve seen them at the National Aquarium at Inner Harbor, even got soaked by one during the dolphin show, but there’s something different about catching a glimpse of them wild, in their own environment like that. Especially framed by the sun just dipping below the horizon behind them.
Thanks Gina. Anything new?
Sounds like fun.
We’re okay here. The psycho nation continues to be psycho, and the pansies in our state legislature are trying to appease the mob. Appeasement doesn’t work. Just ask Mr. Chamberlain.
I was wondering, looks like the flag is going to change?
I’m a Texan, and I don’t give a rip about the Mississippi State flag, except to say it should be left to a vote of the people of the state. About 20 years ago they put it up for a vote, and the people of Mississippi voted to keep their 1894 flag. But now the chicken[squat] leaders of this state are going to mandate a change without letting the people vote. Oh, well, they WILL deign to allow us to vote on the new designs THEY choose.
