Landmark Day . . .
. . . moved first boxes into new quarters and unpacked them into proper cupboards and shelves, had good chat with DJ about moving-in logistics and and got back to Sunrise by 9:15. Then packed a couple more and got downstairs with bottle of Prosecco to celebrate Al Paolino’s 87th birthday.
Had My First Visitor . . .
. . . after I got my key to #1404 at Verena of Gilbert along with mailbox key, parking-lot-gate opener and coded all-door opener shortly before noon and paid first-month’s rent before heading to my apartment to check some measurements for putting in furniture.
Doorbell rang and Mary Weaver and Dale, Sunrise driver who quit after nose-to-nose with Alberto, were laughing out there and came in for a visit and checked out my quarters. Mary agreed that we should put out a newsletter and liked my suggestion of “Verena Viewpoint” as the name.
There’s Been a Lot of Noise . . .
. . . on both sides of the recent Supreme Court gun-control decision.
If we’re going to cut back on things that kill people, we’re going to have to ban motor vehicles
— cars, pickups, trucks, semis, anything that uses our streets and highways —
because just over 110 people die in roadway mishaps every day
compared to 100 killed by accidental or on-purpose gunshot wounds.
Still Trying to Figure Out . . .
. . . who has more good times.
Folks who go to bed tired
or those who wake up tired.
Just Asking . . .
. . . but in all this abortion kerfuffle,
has anybody considered birth control?
Science Has Done its Job . . .
. . . by adding years to our life.
It’s up to us
to add life to our years.
You Don’t Want to . . .
. . . wind up an old maid
in an old farts’ facility
if you don’t know
how to turn her off.
Hard Work is Still . . .
. . . a sound route to success,
but it’s still second
to a good knowledge of the tax laws.
