Travlin’ Tim took a trip down to DC and took in the sights. Then we went to the boat parade down at the Wharf in DC. Technically, the Potomac River. We had good food and there were some very good bands playing music.
It was in the 50s, temperature wise. Very warm for this time of year in this area..
Tomorrow is my last full day here, Tuesday I head home.
Looks like another rainy weekend..There was a sea swim Saturday that has already been cancelled and I was planning a little get-together at my house that looks like it won’t happen. I didn’t get my painting done last weekend anyway, I maybe can finish that or at least do a little more.
Finished the book Survivorl by Chuck Palahniuk.. It’s about this house cleaner, he cleans the same people’s house full time. Endlessly. His name is Tender Branson.The suicide hotline runs an advertisement and makes a typo. The phone number is Tender Branson’s number instead of the suicide hotline number. People start calling Tender Branson and he advises them to kill themselves. Many of them do. When the mistake is sorted out, and the calls stop coming, Tender gets decals printed; “Need help? Call me!”. He puts them in phone booths and near public telephones. He continues to advise the most desperate to commit suicide.
Tender is supposedly the sole survivor of a religious suicide cult. He then becomes a famous religious icon on TV and media.
Like all of the Chuck Palahniuk’s books I have read, Survivor is full of unbelievablly twisted people. It wasn’t pleasant to read, there was no moral to the story. Nobody in the book was happy. I don’t think I learned anything. There was nothing good in this book, but still, for some inexplicable reason, i recommend you read it.. I gave it four stars on Goodreads.
Cloudy here today. Probably will rain. Have a wonderful day!
Holiday season is upon us! Monday is a holiday, our first holiday since July I think..
And it’s Pirates Week, I have a costume, not sure I’ll be wearing it tho. I decided I needed a three corner hat to complete my uniform.
We had some rain last night and this morning. I was surprised by the wet ground. It was nice doing my exercise and meditation in the light rain. Hope it doesn’t rain this weekend!
Yesterday, while breezy, wasn’t really cool temperature – wise, but this morning is cool. I wore a jacket on the dog walk with the raincoat on top of that. It was very cozy.
We had our first Cold front move through last night. It’s nice and breezy, but in my opinion not very cool. It’s a weak cold front I think. But still it’s a start. I hope to soon be able to turn off the AC and open the doors.
Its mid October, and this is just the first of many crisper, cooler days. Looking forward to the day I need my jacket for the morning dawg walk!
