So this is what Al Gore calls Global Warming. The locals are experiencing record low temps - teens at night. The high yesterday was 30. They close some of the schools because the kids don't own jackets warm enough for them to venture outside. We are supposed to warm up in a few days. One of J's friends says that hell finally did freeze over.
A few days before Christmas, some idiot here in the complex started to use a jack hammer on his floor. Three days of noise and construction dust. Same thing happened last Feb, and we were diagnosed with and treated for pneumonia by the time we got to Houston. I started to cough, wheeze, and experiencing shortness of breath. Thurs (1/2) we went to the hospital in Foley and they admitted me. Pills, injections, tests, blood draws and not much sleep. They finally agreed with my mother, that only the good die young, so they threw me out yesterday. Hospitals don't serve oysters, so we went to Cobalt for a couple of dozen. The nurses were cute, and I love the hospital's version of healthy breakfast: scrambled eggs, bacon, grits, and a biscuit.
New Year's Eve was quiet here, as we stayed up and watched the Moon Pie drop in Mobile. 350 pounds descending 34 stories. Only in the south. We tried moon pies last year. Once was enough.
Jan 1 was very nice. J watched the parade, we both enjoyed the Rose Bowl, and then ended with the Vienna Orchestra on PBS - a tradition.
I keep forgetting to comment on an employee in the restaurant at the Peabody in Memphis. He patted his amply belly, declaring that he was "well marbled"
Pete and I were wondering where the hell the follies were. I guess we'll excuse you this time.
ReplyDeleteTake care and one of these days you'll have to come to The Villages.
