I was down at the New Amsterdam

Shawshank, September 23, 2020

What a long day yesterday. In the truck for about 8.5 hours. That makes for a long day. The part that was supposed to be fixed, couldn’t be, for the price that they were willing to pay, so we brought it back. Frustrating on that end.

Although, I was surprised when, as we were waiting for them to figure out what they were going to do with the part, my mom drove to a book store.

“Go and get your book, the newest one, we’ll use amazon for the others.”

So after that, we’re on our way home. And we’re driving through all these really small little towns. I see a sign,

“That sign just said Eiffel Tower that way…..”

Sure enough, there’s the Eiffel Tower. Of course I get out and take pictures for Crystal. Which, hours and hours later, as she lay in bed, I got her to edit them, as my photoshop decided it didn’t want to play well with me. I can’t decide which edits I like the best, so over the course of the week, you’ll see them all.

Good and happy Monday morning my friends. Of course it’s dark out there. And windy. It was wicked windy last night. I’ve yet to open the curtains to see how windy it actually is. I don’t even know what the temperature. But it’s probably cold out there. The Patriots lost…

“Haven’t you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?”

So, last night, huh? Podrick was in rare form. He jumped up onto the counter and knocked over one of Crystal’s water cups. He broke the lid, so I dumped it out and put it in the sink. The little guy got up into the sink, and stole the straw….
