Pets and Peeves.....

Coffee of the day: back to Nicaragua Matagalpa Maragogype. I'm sorry but after a few pots of the Panama Jaramillo Especial, we needed to stay somewhat upscale. goooooooood coffee. We have enough to last through the weekend but the roaster came to New London with us along with a few varieties of green coffee beans to roast.

DA came to visit yesterday from "the city". Of course the stupid train was delayed...didn't they realize we had catching up to do and fun to be had? The oddity, however, was how a train that leaves the station (no, don't scream yet)an hour behind schedule ends up 2 hours behind schedule at the this destination.

We decided to spend some time at the Mystic Aquarium which I had not been too as yet during our stay down here. Beluga whales...seals...sea lions...sting rays...penguins...I wanted to take them all home with me. It was funny...I remember a song from the kids' childhood about "Baby Belugas" (Sesame Street?) and one little girl next to me exclaimed "Baby Beluga!" when she saw them. cute. There was also some nasty thing that stung me just below my neck...feels like it penetrated my bone! Stupid flying thing...I don't thing I was able to prevent him from venturing off to torture someone else either. did you get pictures of the penguins lining up for their photo op after being fed Dru ann? It was soooo cute...they got their fish and then sort of just lined up along the rock looking at us looking at them. *I* of course left my camera back at the apartment.

I have a witness to the Connecticut driver hogging the left lane in the extreme....Tell 'em Dru Ann! The scene...I-95 (please!) Me in right lane coming up on 18-wheeler. Her...left lane and probably blind spot of said 18-wheeler. ...and she sat there........she wouldn't pass the truck, she wouldn't pull behind the truck she just sat there on his tail. Finally she inched up on the truck as other vehicles pulled up behind her...I decided to sit back and watch for a bit since I thought she was somewhat dangerous. I'm sure the trucker was thrilled with her too. geesh...Interstate 95 woman!!!!!!! You can't do that!

Today's agenda includes sending off yet another round of documents to obtain our visas for Brazil visit in October. This time we will send the complete set to the correct consulate...we are in the Boston Region. Of course that makes sense...duh.

Have a fine day all.........

I hate people who do that with the trucks...

I had a Saab green 900 S looks like a 99 or so who was on my tail as I was behind a slow Honda who refused to pass the 18 wheeler and when I tried to pull left to pass the Honda the SAab pulled left faster and blocked me....no idea why...I let him pass me hten I pulled left and passed the HOnda the sAab then pulled behind the Honda...I laughed as he was so held up!!

Hi Fran,

Yes, the lady was mosing along in the fast lane, hmm, I think I could have driven faster than her.

I do have a picture of the penguins lining up (only 2 were lined up).
