Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
That is good that you can report bad roads/pot holes. I presently have a bunch of things reported using see click fix 311.
I had a friend who was a world traveler. He came to Louisiana from France with barely any money.
He ended up being a chef in local restaurants. He had big dreams.
Oh, how I miss him. That French accent! His beautiful adventurous spirit always made me smile.
Anyway, eventually he invested in two businesses. Both were successful and he loved traveling all over the world.
He died white water rafting in Ecuador. When the boat turned over he immediately rushed to save his son. He was able to save his son but lost his life in the process.
Yes, Panama City Beach. We went there every summer growing up. My dad grew up in that area.
Riptides are dangerous. When the double red flags are blowing, people need to stay out of the Gulf of Mexico.
Seven drownings in 9 days.
Need - very sad about the man that drowned.
Glad it’s nice there today. 😊
Several people have died in the riptides. So sad. I went to this beach every summer with my family growing up. My father grew up in this area.
We love going to the gulf coast and have gone many times. The riptides are dangerous and can be deadly. My dad always checked the safety status of the beach before he allowed us to swim in the gulf.
The jellyfish can be bad also. When the purple flag is flying it signifies that there are lots of jellyfish present in the water. The green, yellow and red flags are for the riptides.
Yes, we can report bad roads, some roads have been repaired but we have always had bad roads.
I looked up non tipping vases online. That’s the way to go. I thank you for this information.
Smoke has moved into my region and is supposed to hang around for the next few days (we had worst air in Ontario yesterday, yay). I'm almost out of clean clothes but have been waiting for all the rain to pass so I can hang my laundry out on the line, now I'm not sure what to do.
Sorry that your roads are so bad. Does your county have an app where you can report potholes to be repaired? We do, among other things such as debris/dumped trash violation.
That sounds wonderful! A no tip vase is so practical for us. Louisiana roads are some of the absolute worst! Seriously, our pot holes are awful.

We are the champions! Yay!
Techie,
It was an exciting game! I’m sure there were huge celebrations going on in Omaha and Baton Rouge last night.
Your DH's containers are a good solution.
You know how we were discussing vases for the cemetery the other day?
I like to bring flowers to the hospital, nursing home, my friends when visiting, etc.
I would always become frustrated with how do I travel with them in my car, without the vase and flowers tumbling over in my car.
Anyway, I thought of an easy fix. My husband buys the preserves that come in tall slim bottles. Forgive me, I can’t remember the brand name. I save the empty jars. I place a few flowers in them. These jars fit perfectly in my cup holder so I can transport my flowers safely.
Final score 24 - 4
We only have one more shot at winning the Collage World Series.
