Sunday (coda)
The “rest of the day,” as referenced in my previous post, was good.

We braved the masses at Ye Olde Marte of Walton SuperCentre and bought groceries. We had figured that there wouldn’t be too many people there today as it is LDS Church Conference weekend. We were wrong. Oh, so wrong. Every other non-LDS person in the tri-state area (okay, that’s an exaggeration, but you get the idea) also decided to go shopping this afternoon, too. We picked up four (4) 73-quart storage containers; they were on clearance for $1.75 a piece. In the words of Eddie Murphy: “What a bargain! What a bargain for me!” We also picked up a new 12-cup coffee maker for a shade under $8.00. Maybe now I’ll be more apt to brew coffee in the morning now that I have a coffee maker that brews more than 4 (small) cups at a time.

Later, we headed over to Mary’s and cooked out. It was a great afternoon for it. There was meat, meat, meat, meat, meat and more meat on the grill. It is safe to say that there were a fair number of carnivores/omnivores present. And there were tasty malt beverages, too.

An odd thing happened around 8:00. I got tired. VERY tired. Droopy-eyed, almost-ready-to-fall-asleep tired. I am currently attributing this to the combination of: Daylight Savings Time, the bike ride, and gorging myself on food and beer. Whatever it was, it came down on me fast and hard. We left Mary’s around 8:30 and came home. I don’t remember most of the ride home. I barely remember that Jess stopped to get gas on the way home. I came in, put my things down and crashed on the bed. I slept for a half-hour, but it seemed more like I had hardly closed my eyes when Jess came in to wake me up. I killed an hour “on the nerd¹” (as our friend Bill would say) when I realized that I was getting stiff/sore from the ride. A hot soak and shower were in order! And they were good.

And that’s how I spent my summer vacation Sunday afternoon and evening.

Stray Toasters

  • I was surfing around Backwash and came across a link for Movie Posters that Don’t Exist on Dribbleglass.com. After I looked at the posters, I looked at other parts of the site. It was rather amusing.
  • Frank Cho is the author of Liberty Meadows, a daily strip that can also be found in collected volumes at a bookstore/comic shop near you. I’ve heard of the strip/books for years, but hadn’t given them a look. Until today. Thanks to for pointing out the uncensored gallery to me. (And, looking at the FAQ on the site, I just discovered that Mr. Cho lives in Columbia, MD… where I grew up before I moved to North Scare-o-lina.)
  • 777-9311
  • I need a new printer. Any suggestions?

I should call it a night. I think that I shall… after a tall, cold glass of cow squeezin’s.

Namaste.
