Eerie skies, a plethora of lobster and how you know you’re getting old.

Now and then, right before sunset in the summer… we have an eerie backyard light.

.

.

Sadly none of those rain clouds dropped anything on us.

.

.

But they made for pretty pictures.

Now that is a bowl of lobster stew.

No tiny minced pieces or disappointing puree there. No sir.

.

Much as I hate to admit it, I’ve finally reached the age where a new sheet of stamps excites me. I may have oohed when I first saw this one.

Sigh.

I’d live here anyway, but it’s nice to know we have high rankings.

This is now a skunk water dish.

Other backyard critters need not apply.

The husband at a yard sale, or more precisely a barn sale.

The barn was filled with rusty old things and he was in heaven.

See the sign posted on that giant cabbage shredder?

He bought the shredder.

Who is Uncle Sam….

And why does the bastard want all our money?

Ain’t that the truth.

But I’ve just finished doing our taxes…. and now I’m brain dead.

Yes, I always wait until the last minute. Why not? We haven’t gotten a refund since Christ was a Corporal so our returns don’t get mailed until April 14th.

You heard me, mailed. As in snail….with a stamp and everything.

Remember those?

Haven’t you heard the Post Office is dying?

I mail all my bills.

I mail back every postage paid envelope that comes my way… empty.

I even  *gasp*  mail actual birthday cards.

Technology is great, don’t get me wrong. But there’s nothing less personal than a 2 second birthday text.

No one needs that.

So be thoughtful, take the extra time to write your best wishes….. and help save the post office you know you’re going to miss when it’s gone.
