What a terrible, terrible day to remember. I read this morning more people have died from cancer and other illnesses from participating in the recovery and clean up efforts than died that day. A second tragedy.

I had a hair appointment today, but when I got there, an older somewhat confused woman had shown up for an appointment that wasn't in my hair person's book. She offered to do us at the same time or I could come back. (The other woman should have been the one to come back, but I didn't fight it as I was free at noon). I opted to come back. So I went home and walked the dog instead.

While I was gone for my hair appointment, the guys putting in a new electric gate for our private street hit a gas line sending the fire department out. Thankfully nothing blew up... The gas company had come out to mark the gas lines prior to trenching to get power to the new gate, but his sensor picked up the dog invisible fence wire and he missed the gas line. But I'm pleased to report the dog fence was not harmed in anyway . Our neighbors don't have gas though. We get a lot of trespassers who drive down our road ignoring 4 separate "turn around, private driveway, no trespassing signs" for the unobstructed lake view. It's really annoying and people get nasty when you ask them to leave, hence the new electric gate.

I was down a whole 0.4 pounds this week. But with cinnamon rolls and s'mores consumed, I can't complain. I upped my dose to 12.5 today figuring my next batch will be 12.5 sent to AZ in 2 weeks and I should have enough of my 10 to start a little early.

Out to dinner tonight with our guest as the food fest continues!

Take care all...

September 11, yeah; who doesn't remember that along with lots of other specific days and years made sad due to the terrible inhumanities perpetrated in the name of "shameless righteousness". The debate and commentaries afterwards

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

I imagine by now the post debate biased "positive" spin on each side's performance has further justified whatever preconceived belief people already held. Open mindedness and critical thinking skills are almost nonexistent when it comes to politics. Will be skipping the national news, at least for today.

Past time to be out and about experiencing that winning Wednesday and wishing the same to all.

I can believe those 2 tasks would be enough for the day at your house!

I wonder if September 11 evokes strong memories for my kids as it does for me. Such a fearful day, made somewhat more personal for our friend group because one of us was a flight attendant who was supposed to be on one of the planes that crashed. She had switched days with a friend but it took a few hours to ascertain that. And so sad for her and her co-workers to receive the news. It is always weird to drive by the flight school where the terrorists trained when we go to breakfast on Sundays in Florida.

We did no****ch the debate from Block Island - in fact we were asleep by then. I hadn't been sleeping well earlier in the week but I think I have caught up now. We typically watch some TV news at night but spend more time reading the news in the morning while drinking our coffee. It seems like such a luxury to do so after so many years of rushing in the morning to get ready for work.

Block Island is great so far: Similar in some ways to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket but much more quaint. It seems like there are many more casual restaurants and bars on the water. The other islands seem to have reserved water view restaurants mostly for the upscale resorts. The hotels are in large old buildings that make you feel like you have stepped back in time. We are debating whether to rent bicycles or a moped. I prefer the former but we haven't been on bikes for quite a few years.

Enjoy your day all! Have a winning Wednesday!

That recipe sounds good - I'll have to try that!
