Before walking to the mailbox yesterday, I was unaware a voting report card even existed.

.

.

But huzzah!

I think I got an A.

And if there’s anything better than walking into your local grocery store and finding the Kool Aid man wearing a hat full of handmade hedgehogs?

.

.

I’m sure I don’t know what it is.

Now, I don’t claim to be the brightest bulb in the pack…

.

.

But I’m not so dim that I get easily confused by plaid. (Unless I’m throwing back shots. When that happens, I can barely figure out how to open my purse.)

And finally, Maine.

We rarely make the top of any list unless it’s moose or lobster centric so I was quite pleased to see we were number 2 in the fewest amount of Covid cases from June to mid October.

.

.

In case you don’t see your state, here’s the other half of the list.

.

.

North Dakota is the worst in the nation?

I admit that surprised me.

CSA, chili and our local pub.

17 Comments

.

Our weekly CDA is winding down for the year, but the harvest is still plentiful.

.

.

Peppers, turnip, ginger, Korean melon, spinach, salad greens, kohlrabi, radishes, chard, celery, dill and yes. Some awful version of kale.

Our weather has started to change and we’re feeling some delightfully brisk and crisp air. When that happens?

.

.

It’s time for a big pot of homemade chili. And a trip to our local pub.. at an off hour when no one is there. Perfect.

.

.

On the menu? Duck wings with sweet Thai chili sauce.

.

.

Tis the season.

.

.

And thanks in part to my suggestion… okay my endless badgering, whatever!… the owner has agreed to run weekly cocktail specials. He even bought a lovely coffee table book of choices for me to peruse.

.

.

Keep the customers happy.

And the really good customers like me? Keep them soused, they complain less that way.

Random musings…

Telemarketers have gotten clever over the past few years. They spoof actual businesses and use real people’s names with local numbers to trick you into answering.

Last month our caller ID came up with my own name and number. Though why I needed to call myself has yet to be determined.

Last week?

This:

.

.

It’s like they’re not even trying anymore.

.

.

Covid warnings, Maine style.

.

.

Deer and fading backyard foliage, just because.

.

.

Damn.

I knew I shouldn’t have let my National Geographic subscription expire. Slutty ostriches would have been a good read.

.

.

Deep fried pickled asparagus is not my idea of an acceptable appetizer, but they’re very popular at our local pub right now.

.

.

This describes our current weather quite well. Something for everyone.

And finally, fluffle.

.

.

Because we all need a tad more cuteness in our life right about now.

When ya gotta go….

24 Comments

Sometimes you just have to go. Which, when on the road during a global pandemic, can be a challenge.

Yesterday the husband had to physically enter his office for the first time since March to pick up some paperwork, so we took the scenic route which added a half hour to the hour long drive. The sun was shining, the leaves were turning…. life was good. Until those 2 large glasses of iced tea I had with lunch kicked in.

I don’t know what’s it like in your part if the world, but here in Maine a lot of the convenience stores, gas stations and fast food places have closed their rest rooms to customers for fear of spreading the virus.

It took us 4 stops to find a Burger King that welcomed people with full bladders. And by the look of the pictures on the doors? I wasn’t the only one in dire need.

Because if I don’t laugh, I’ll scream.

.

.

That looks about right.

This year you’re screwed no matter which way you go.

.

.

Karen.

That slut ruins everything.

.

.

Admit it, we’ve all been there.

.

.

This literally made me snort.

.

.

I’ve been hearing banjo music for a while now…

.

.

That’s a pretty accurate representation of my year. How about you?

.

.

One can only hope.

.

.

You first. I’ll hold your purse….

Social distancing chuckles.

Where there’s a will there’s a way.

.

.

In this scenario, I see my noodle landing in my margarita… and no one wants that.

.

.

Distance.

It’s all relative.

.

.

Canadians have the right idea with hockey sticks. You can measure distance as well as crack heads if someone gets too close.

.

.

Wisconsin? I don’t know. I’d rather not be on the back end of that ruler…

.

.

Bubble gyms?

If they were covered in black fabric so no one could see my quarantine twenty jiggling… maybe.

.

.

Excellent.

And I bet their conversation is more interesting than your cousin Darryl’s anyway.

.

.

Squirrels are people too.

.

.

Pffft!

What’s next, motion sensor operated baptism?

.

.

Now that makes sense!

Go ahead, laugh.

It’s better than the alternative.

Have you ever wondered how it will feel when we eventually  (hopefully!)  get back to normal?

I’m not sure I ever want a stranger closer than 6 feet again.

This could be a real problem if Aunt Jemima products are going to disappear…

I totally need that mask.

Yeah, we kind of do.

Well that goes without saying.

Personally, I’d prefer 2 continents.

One day only!

Better hurry.

It’s all about priorities.

And finally for my horoscope loving readers….

Because laughter is the only contagious thing I want to catch.

 

 

That sounds about right.

 

 

We didn’t.

We really didn’t….

 

 

I’m all for this.

As hard as lock down has been, there are some people I’ve been quite happy to avoid.

 

 

I could totally rock that look.

 

 

Yeah.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had it with the conspiracy theorists.

 

 

 

That’s so wrong.

 

 

Tight pants.

A pandemic symptom I can totally relate to.

Which brings me to the new anthem for the Covid age.

Sing it sister!
