Things from the Road...
First, I need to thank the former occupant of this room for the 4am wake up call...leaving the alarm set for 4am is not an act easily done "accidentally"..oopps, I accidentally slid the little lever over one notch to the on position.
I forgot to report the incident we witnessed on Sunday in Norwalk. Scene, US Route 1...fire truck pulling in front of us into a driveway. On the side of the road there is a woman kneeling down looking into a storm drain...they were all busily working still when we went by again with a few more emergency vehicles and police cars in evidence...wonder what was down there and how it got there to begin with. hhhmmm willies...
I'm happy to report the windshield wiper caper went reasonably well. I even have a back up wiper in the trunk for when the next one goes. How come sometimes I have had to actually wrestle with replacing wipers and other times, it's embarrassingly simple? At least I didn't have to get a stool to stand on as I have had to do other times. ...AND I'm sure glad I didn't pay someone to replace these.
To the Orange CT Policeman who refused to let anyone merge in front of him............>;-o~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I met a lady at the hotel pool yesterday. She's staying here at the hotel while her house is being fixed after water damage. She's a former teacher, realtor, has two daughters, collects flow blue plates, sold a deer jug to one of the Keno Bothers from Antique Roadshow and bought her living room furniture and paid off some debt with the proceeds, is divorced ( No, really?), went to a really fancy wedding where there was diamonds all over the place and she would have felt underdressed if it were not for her diamond circle pin...and just can't imagine why none of her friends want to take her up on doing anything, or going anywhere on their own (with her). "They aren't very independent women, you know." Then she launched into telling me about the group here from Mississippi who are doing something at the University of New Haven...how she took a couple of "sad sacks" to the Peabody Museum..."you know the type, sitting around the table smoking and drinking with missing teeth and all...ooh here she comes now...yoo whooo hello Cindy, how are you darling?" I took this opportunity to leave her with poor Cindy; I'm afraid I might not get any more quiet pool time this trip. At least the kids in the pool were'n't playing that wretched Marco Polo game. Nope, these kids were playing Spaghetti/Meatball. snort.
Stay tuned for more scintillating observations from the Road...
