As for fall festivals, don't know that I'd attend any
I've attended my share over the years -- school events, hayrides and corn mazes, orchard festivals, small-town apple festivals, etc. They can be fun. But in this case I actually meant hearing them advertised on the radio, back in the days when I listened to the radio in the car. I didn't have AC then, so it would be steamy hot, green leaves as I said, and that just doesn't fit my picture of a fall fest.
did notice today that it was getting dark close to 8:00, instead of 9:00 or later, so that's nice.
No.
Sounds like you've been keeping busy too!
Enough to feel that all-important sense of accomplishment.
I show up with lunch, knock on her door, and sit at one end of the porch, and put the food in the middle on the table. Tina joins me and sits about 6-8 feet away, and we just relax and chat and have lunch.
What do you bring?
I met my friend Wendy for lunch yesterday. We met in a nice lakeside park. I had wanted to get tacos from the taco place, but Wendy offered to bring lunch. So I made a quick caprese salad using tomatoes and basil growing in my yard. It was only OK -- I eat sliced tomato/basil/mozzarella sandwiches practically every day during tomato season but for a salad I prefer halfed cherry tomatoes and pearl mozzarella.
Wendy brought egg-salad sandwiches, sesame sticks, bottles of cold Starbucks vanilla coffees, big bags of dark cherries, Clementines and little candy bars. I wasn't that stocked up on lunch things -- next time I'll be better prepared. I think Wendy has often made lunches for her husband.
I've decided to get one after watching quite a few YouTube videos that feature dash cam crash footage. Some people think this is bizarre viewing habits, but I've learned from watching the videos that most people will try to convince the police that show up that the other driver is at fault, and having footage of the accident on dash cam can really show who is at fault.
That's a good idea. My son got in an accident where, based on the circumstances, it could have been either person's fault. A guy from a food delivery service ran over and said he'd seen the, accident and it was the fault of the other driver. But then my son let the woman take the guy's name and contact info, and she later pretended not to know what he was talking about. Also, he should have filmed and/or photographed the scene.
Last winter, I got in a small car accident when the other people ran a stop sign and, because it was snowing I couldn't stop fast enough so I crashed into them. Luckily, nobody hurt. They were really nice and their car was hurt worse than mine. The guy started taking pictures of everything -- cars, damage, license plates, street signs, my ID etc. He said his daughter works for an insurance company and that's what she's always advised him to do.
