Abiding Mystery #482

What is it about this town that makes bowling balls such a popular garden accessory?

Gadgeteering

I was inspecting my roof via satellite and decided by the state of the potted pepper farm depicted that the view was taken last July, early.

Credenza by The Side of The Road

I have graduated from chairs, and so it seems, have my neighbors.

Time

Of a morning

Usually, when my head clogs up during my sleep, it is because the cat has slept on my bed and I know I need to wash the comforter. That said, I rummage for breakfast and happen apon some lox. Ah! Smoked salmon=Bacon of the Sea (TM).

The Penny Pinching Gourmand

I took off from work on a short errand this afternoon, to the cigar store close by with cash to buy their empties. Only one of the pile suited my particular needs, which differ from other collectors of empty cigar boxes. I don't want the fancy finished wooden treasure chests. So! The clerk whose son is undergoing the art school experience and therefore took the time to ideate my requirements promised to keep the smaller wooden square ones covered in paper behind the counter for me to check on weekly. He gave me his card. This shop is conveniently next to one run by a connoisseur of odd wines and craft beers. The proprietor of this shop sold me a bomber of Hex Marzen from Magic Hat for three dollars. Everyone felt special, me more so now that I've enjoyed it. A big beer, round in the malt but not too sweet. Good carbonation and a lasting head. Robust and celebratory but not aggressive. Very drinkable. I'll have another.

Undying Fealty

SAAB sent me check good for ten thousand dollars towards the purchase of a Buick. Are they testing my loyalty? Hubby says it's a mistake. It went straight to the blue bin.

The cold snap

I'll take this freeze with a toddy and a ginger snap...I'll snap out of my blues with the comforting thought that in about a week, the days will start to lengthen again. Now snap up that sweater!
