Pictures of green things today.
Underside of a date palm (I think it’s a date palm)
My wife’s new leaf sprouting bottles in a box. So cute! A lady at work was throwing it away, and I saved it.
Our newest batch of bananas, just about ready for picking.
I feel guilty because I owe everyone comments. I appreciate each and every comment I receive. Thank you!
Have a good day!
The ship, Ever Given, stuck in the Suez Canal since last Tuesday, has been freed. Get in the back of the queue to resume normal shipping.
That wasn’t as bad as expected, a six day blockage of the Suez Canal. It wasn’t the first time, or the longest amount of time it’s been closed. Until this news story, I never realized the canal was so old, 1869.
It’s a Tuesday, short week ’cause Friday is a holiday, and I’m ready to git’er done (this week).
Enjoy your day!
It was a good weekend, like usual. Saturday I read and got some sun, Sunday we went out on a One Dog At A Time fundraiser boat trip. It was really nice.
Below are random pix I liked and saved.
In reference to the last pic, the news said that the Ever Given is 80% free now, thanks to dredging and a “fleet of tugboats”. Hopefully thatsa problem cleared up soon.
Have a good week!
As you probably already know, the Panamanian-flagged container vessel MV Ever Given is stuck in the Suez Canal, turned sideways in low visibility and high winds.
Some say weeks to free her, Egypt says they’ll have her out over the weekend. The news says this disruption in shipping will have a planetary effect.
We’ll all find out.
From what I’ve read the past few days, about 40 ships a day pass through the Suez Canal, at about $350,000 USD . The price is based on the cost of going around South Africa.
It will be interesting to watch this unfold.
Happy FRIDAY! We had tacos and I also had a big burger last night. I think we’re pretty much going to be regulars at the Westin Movie Night from now on.
Have a GREAT weekend!
Happy Thursday, or Pre-Fridayday. Things are good, the weather’s been great and tonight we’re going again to the Westin Movie Night. Wife thinks they’re playing Dirty Dancing but I heard they’re playing Top Gun.
I got my friend’s number that I lost, mentioned yesterday. Still don’t know whatever happened to that piece of paper….
I’m still reading Ready Player Two. LIke I previously said, it has not-so-hot reviews but I think it’s great.
Book two makes me have to go back and re-read the first one because in my brain, I think I’m mixing up the book and the movie. With Ready Player One, the book and the movie are both totally the same and completely different. You’ll have to experience both to see what I mean.
Have a great day!!!
I ran into a friend from 30 years ago on the internet. I took his number. I went to call him, and he wasn’t on my phone. “Ah!” said I, I wrote it on a notebook on my desk and didn’t put it on my phone, I’ll copy it when I get home.”
Well, I can’t find the paper… The pen’s still here, where’s the paper? It couldn’t have gone anywhere.
I have this quality in my life, anything I look for, I can’t find. A piece of paper, an email, a passage in a book.
How am I going to get this number again? Dammit.
I used to have an app that opened the Dilbert cartoon for that day. It quit working, years ago and I kind of lost touch with Dilbert. But this morning I stumbled across some and they’re still really really good.
Today is the first day I’ve seen any DIlbert in years. I’ll have to re-connect.
Have a good day!
It was a really nice weekend. Saturday we went to buy some flower pots and then out for lunch at a nice Mexican restaurant. In the late afternoon/evening, we went to a Food Fest featuring street food. It was good. I didn’t take enough pictures there though.
Sunday was a nice and quiet day. I loaded up and went to go diving, but the water was too rough and we didn’t go. It was borderline. So I spent the day at home, reading my most recent book, Ready Player Two, sequel to Ready Player One, which I enjoyed very much. Ready Player Two doesn’t have very good reviews, but so far, it seems pretty good to me. I just started it though.
And now it’s Monday again, too quickly. Have a good week!
Last night we went to movie night at the Westin. More importantly, they had tacos. Every Thursday, for the past little while, they’ve been showing an old movie on the beach. Last night was the first time the wife and I went. It was really nice and the tacos were really good. There were fish, shrimp, pumpkin and chicken. Chicken won in my book, but all were good.
The movie was one with Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz, My Best Friends Wedding. It was ok. I had never seen it before and we left a little before the end to get some frozen yogurt and make a quick stop at the grocery store. Next Thursday is Dirty Dancing, and if you know my wife, you know we won’t miss that one.
And now it’s FRIDAY!
♬ ♫ Yeay it’s Fri-hi-day! The weekend’s here! We’ll relax! (hallelujah, hallelujah!) And take off our slacks! (hallelujah, hallelujah!) And sit around the house in our rotten underwear!♫
Have a good weekend!
I swore I’d never do it again. I hated it when I did it first time. I called it the worst experience of my life. I likened it to going to school with a bully there picking on me constantly.
The training course that would never end still lives.
ILM Level 3, starts today through work.
Wish me luck. After all my bitchin’ on level 2, I ended up doing quit well,near the top of my class. Now I know (maybe) what to expect, maybe it won’t be so bad.
Wish me luck!
