After reading this thread I suggested to Mrs. Lew that we
have B L T's with a fried egg on them ..
And the eggs to be cooked in the bacon drippings.. ummm good.
yeah, with the retirement thing, dinners are more planned than in the past.

6 weeks in.
I have done the morning walking and a bunch of yard work.
We were supposed to go on an Alaska cruise in two weeks, but that got nuked.
We did go to Michigan to see my sister for the Fourth. Fireworks were canceled
except in neighborhood driveways and some of them were great.
We just got our SS checks, so we thank all of you workers who contribute
to the SS fund.

With the COVID situation the local paper has stopped printing SAT and then MON editions. No electronic
editions on these days either. Paper has one section instead of 2 and several staff are furloughed.
One of my golfing buddies is the ONLY photographer left on the staff.
He says the only thing keeping the paper afloat is the subscriptions by the AARP+ age group.

I got a suit for HS graduation from the Kleinhan's clothing store in Buffalo oh so many years (decades) ago.
I still have the wood coat hanger but the suit has mysteriously shrunk over the years.
I erroneously wore a suit on my first day at work way back when and
45 years later my last day in the lab was in a tee shirt and jeans.

I almost always return my cart to inside the store, before the pandemic, I'd simply push into the other carts waiting to be used. If it's raining or I'm in an extreme hurry, I might bring it to the corral. The thing I NEVER do, and get pissed when I see it, is leave the cart in the parking space or anywhere where it could roll into it. People who do that are indefensible morons. Even they could place the cart somewhere where it won't roll, or get into the way of traffic and parking.
During this pandemic, I usually leave it outside the store (corral or just outside the door) so it will be sanitized before another person uses it, or give it directly to the person sanitizing carts (if there is one). I see people putting carts back into the queue (where the sign says "Carts sanitized" or something to that effect) and then just walk away. I despise idiots like that.
I was at a Winn Dixie a couple weeks ago and the employee standing right next to the Carts Sanitized sign was just pushing carts into the the queue. Not sanitizing them at all, and not hiding it. I decided to report him to the manager. I made a point to make sure he knew I did it, too. Normally I'd be upset at getting someone in trouble or fired. I had NO such feelings that time. I almost wanted to say, "He's doing this in plain view. How could you NOT see it. You ALL should be fired." But I didn't go that far.
Growing up and shopping at Loblaws or Tops we alway returned the carts to the store. It was something that you just did.
Here IN WV most peeps place their "buggies" in the corral after unloading the 8 6-packs of Mt. Dew. I used to return the buggies to the store but now with the
sanitizing process I place buggies to the corral.

Jack Whittaker was wealthy before he won the powerball. He was a very successful contractor.
Roch Bob is correct in that Jack lived like he had before. Multiple DUI's and robberies always made me wonder
Why didnt he hire a chauffer/body guard .
He did many charitable activities in WV.

The future Mrs. Lew and I saw this at Grand Central Mall near Parkersburg WV.
She got her ears pierced at a kiosk place in the mall. The lady
did the piercing and said to come back in two hours.
We saw Jaws and my much better half to be came home with pierced ears.

Buffalo is the one NFL City we're almost no players want to go to originally
But once they get here they never want to leave
Coach Jerry Glanville once said he cried 2 times in his life.
The first was when he was hired to coach in Buffalo.
The second time was when he left Buffalo for another coaching position.

Correct, couldn’t remember if she was posted before.
I saw her on the news. The British singer who just died, she sang that WWII song that plays at the end of Dr Strangelove.
And Pink Floyd sang about her in The Wall.

Hubert Sumlin, Luther Allison, and Albert Collins.
I dont know about the other two, but I was able to see Luther Allison 2X in concert in the 1970's.
Absolutely incredible.
The first time he was the warmup form the Allman Brothers.
( side note, this concert was one week before Duane's death)
Luther came back the following the year as the headliner.
Saying guitarist X is the best of all time is silly. Just enjoy their immense talent
