Last night I went to bed at 10:30, got up twice during the
night, again at 6:30, finally waking/getting up at 7:30.
Among new US
I watched the first 20 minutes of the Today show and left for the gym.
I found Marcos and gave him my old July/August Reader’s Digest. I completed
my limited set of exercises in an hour and 10 minutes.
Just after 1pm we got some hard rain and some lightning and
I had to disconnect the TV. (Wow, for a
second I couldn’t remember how to spell lightning – I wrote lightnigh.) Because of that Teresa cancelled our plans to
go to Mayorca this afternoon.
I finally was able to watch all of The Post (7.2) on Direct TV.
Teresa reminded me that we have doctors appointments
tomorrow at 10am and I reminded her that I’m playing chess with Dario tomorrow
at 9am. She made a call and rescheduled the appointments
for next Wednesday between 8am and 5pm.
5,643 steps today.
Joke of the day
A fire started on some
grassland near a farm.
The county fire
department was called to put out the fire.
The fire was more than
the county fire department could handle.
Someone suggested that
a nearby volunteer bunch be called.
Despite some doubt that
the volunteers would be of any assistance, the call was made.
The volunteers arrived
in a dilapidated old fire truck.
They rumbled
straight towards the fire, drove right into the middle of the flames and
stopped!
The firemen
jumped off the truck and frantically started spraying water in all directions.
Soon they
had snuffed out the center of the fire, breaking the blaze into two
easily-controlled parts.
Watching all
this, the farmer was so impressed with the volunteer fire department's work and
was so grateful that his farm had been spared, that right there on the spot he
presented the volunteers with a check for $1,000. A local news reporter asked
the volunteer fire captain what the department planned to do with the funds.
"That ought to be
obvious," he responded, wiping ashes off his coat. "The first thing
we're gonna do is get the brakes fixed on our fire truck!"
Another un-heard LOL joke for me. Your average seems to be higher these days, thanx!
