Oh!...and...
Good morning Kay. Finally we're getting some rain this morning! I thought we were going to have to carry buckets of water up to the end of the driveway to water 2 Rose of Sharon bushes. It's looked like rain every day the past several days and the rain never came so this is really welcome - as long as it doesn't turn into a deluge. Then it needs to clear out because tomorrow the kids are coming over for a swim day.

I just read an article recently about wearing a face mask too long and getting carbon dioxide poisoning. It's not a myth that some people feel like they can't breathe with the mask on.

I did discover something that helped keep glasses from fogging up too badly. Pinch the nose piece close to your nose and put your glasses on so the bottom of the glasses rest on the face mask. It keeps your moist breath from exiting up toward the glasses. Hopefully your breath can easily escape out the sides or bottom.

One benefit to wearing a face mask while shopping is that I can't wait to get out of the store!

We have a Wegman's grocery store close to us that we shop at. They have a new system where you put your bags in the cart and scan each item as you shop and pack the bag yourself. When you're done shopping you just go to the self check out, scan the running total on your phone and pay. No unloading items onto the belt and then bagging which means no squished bread and tomatoes! That way I get to use my reusable bags which are a lot more convenient than the plastic bags. Hmmm, may be the new way for future shopping. I'll be trying it out the next time I go grocery shopping.

Hi Janet!

I already tried that...doesn't work for me:( I'll just keep on breathing thru my mouth..no big deal! I rarely go anywhere in public anyway!
Thank goodness for on-line shopping!

Hola .. :)

And, in other News, on top of everything, we have a giant Saharan Dust cloud ..

Saharan-Dust-1.jpg

That sand cloud is really affecting our weather in Florida. Not only is the sky a misty gray instead of blue, the dust is affecting our temperatures. Extreme heat wave because heat can't dissipate and very little rain during the start of our rainy season. Normally afternoon rains help cool the air for the evening. Today is predicted to be in the upper 90s with heat index over 100. And muggy!!!

Hum, my quotes didn't all show up... Oh well.

Our Sam's club has a phone app where we scan items we put in the cart and then just pay electronically when finished. It's great - we don't have to stand in long lines for checkout, we just walk to the exit and the person who checks receipts scans a code on the phone and out the door!

Huge congratulations @MikeE3 and @Janet H ! 50 years is quite a milestone. Here's to many more :toast::toast::toast:

What a great way of handling checking out. I don't really like using self-checkout, call me old-fashioned, but I like the personal interaction that comes with using a person for checking out.

Our Sam's club has a phone app
I will have to check and see if our Sam's offers this option for checkout.

50 years ago today.

We must be getting old ... to celebrate we're going shopping for a new exterior front door. Well, maybe not that old ... we do have reservations for an early dinner late this afternoon. She's put up with a lot from me and I'm so grateful and lucky she's still with me ... my strength and best friend all these years.

I wish we had such a thing here.

Anybody have a good movie or series . I prefer blood and guts/action etc

If you can access "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", I think you'll like it .. I've watched it at least 4 times ..

"Strike Back" .. series .. "Spartacus" .. series .. "Extraction" .. movie .. "Alita : Battle Angel" .. movie .. any of the John Wick movies, best to do all three in order if possible .. "Mad Max : Fury Road .. movie .. "Inglorious Basterds" .. movie .. "300" .. movie .. "Django Unchained" .. movie .. "Sicario" .. movie .. "Vikings" .. series .. "Punisher" .. series .. "The Last Ship" .. series ..

That should get you started .. :)

    Came to the end of the fourth season of Queen of the South. Waiting for 5th season. It's a good one. Thanks much for all the ideas. Off to Netflix I go or Amazon Prime.

    I just realized that I did not wish everyone a Good Morning.
    So, Good Morning/Afternoon, all.
    Happy Anniversary Janet and Mike. It is such joy to witness a long strong marriage. People who say marriage is easy have not truly witnessed a strong marriage. A marriage takes a lot of work but it also is a labor of love.
    I'm on my way outside to finally install the Reolink Argus 2 security camera on the side of my house. I'm looking forward to seeing how well it works out. If it does all I think it will do I'll get another to install on my workshop. When I ordered this camera I got the one that has the solar panel so I don't have to worry about manually charging the battery. I will let everyone know how it performs. I hope it will catch some of the birds and squirrels at the feeders.

    I actually did watch "Queen of the South" up until about mid season 3 .. don't know why I stopped ..

    I don't know what streaming device you use, but on a ROKU, you can simply go to search, enter the title, and it will show you any and all providers that are currently offering the show, free or pay ..

    I have some TVI cameras covering the property, but I’m thinking about getting a camera with remote control, and mounting it on a pole. The DVR has the functionality to handle this, but last time I purchased one it turned out to be a dome camera (my mistake, decent camera, just not what I wanted).
