Bad Weather

 We barely made it into the 60's today.   Same tomorrow.  Rain, too.

Snow in the mountains.   You would think it is March.

But we're lucky.  The midwest is getting hit with terrifying storms and tornados.

Town flattening tornados.  And with our government the way it is, I doubt there's any help coming for those folks in the paths of destruction.

All those promises to not gut medicaid too and they're trying to do just that.   There's nothing to believe anymore.

I'm taking my usual time off after that last trip to recuperate.

I'm happy to say, despite all the stop and go congestion traffic, my car still got 32 mpg.

I may make another trip up next week, but I won't have to stay up there.  I'll just take them up and check them in and come home.  The lady with the appointments is going to go get the cats.  I don't have to do trapping either, just loan traps.

Now that I can do.

I was at the grocery store today, in line to check out.   This older lady, older than I am, dressed to the hilt, tells me I cut in front of her in line.  I calmly stated "no, I didn't." and looked away.  The man in front of me confirmed to the lady, by saying "she was in line before you were".   I thought that was the end of it, but suddenly the lady crams her cart against mine and says I have to go before you.   I stared in disbelief.  Is this lady in dementia or just a nasty mean old lady.  I figured the latter, since she seemed practised at this behavior.  I let it go though, let her go ahead of me.   I was brought up that way, to respect elders.  I know I'm one now too.  So I'm not sure I shouldn't have told her fuck no--when its between two elders.   But hard to break old habits.  However, I could not stop laughing.   At first I tried to hide it, but I it bubbled out I'm afraid.  She was dressed so fancy with her hair all done up, jewelry, the works and nobody expected that.  Other shoppers were staring and rolling their eyes.

Because the checker works two sides, I still was gone before she was.  

My friend brought me a cool cat gate, three quarters door height or higher.  They were no longer using it.  It was so cool because I'd been trying to figure how I could make a gate or screen door so I can have the garage door open this summer but not let Gigi free roam out.   This one is so simple and will for sure keep Gigi who is non athletic from exiting the garage if I have the door open.  It's like my friends read my mind!
