Holy shimolians, another one has slipped by; it's almost the middle of the year already, not getting dark here until after 2030.
We're going into Summer methinks, had a few days when it's poked 100 or actually made it somewhere in the general area. Days are scattered clouds, breezes from time to time, and warm. Here it is 0036 and it's still 83 outside.
PE, your comment in the last post of May reminded me of a funny experience a friend and I had years ago. My friend is a general contractor, and I was an electrical contractor sub-contracting to do his electrical work on custom homes and remodels. On most remodel jobs, we had to work around the families who lived in the house, so many times, the Lady of the house would be doing her household business while we were banging away on stuff. On one job, I had a question about the placement of a light fixture, and asked the Lady of the house about it, and John, my friend, was in on the conversation. Now both of us wear beards, often quite long and full, and long hair. So we were talking, and I rubbed my beard with the hand I had been using to grease some connectors, and got grease in my whiskers, so I took a cloth and was wiping it out of my beard, and she was standing there just staring at me. She finally turned to John and asked: "How do you wash your beards?" John and I both laughed, and he said "shampoo?". She had the most amazed look on her face, and I am not sure she really believed him Having worn a beard most of my life - I had to shave before I was thirteen, and had a full beard when I was a junior in high school - it just is part of the drill.
Well, I am sort of in night shift mode, but I am going to try to go to bed soon so I can live like, as one of my doctors puts it, a normal person.
Later.
