Mo 7/3/23- POWER OUTAGE/ Buddy Sick

810am (1-B). 145pm(1-B). 7pm(1-B). 825pm (1-B).

Up 610am; Bight & sunny with temps to upper 80's. 

***Buddy very sick. This morning he was sleeping in my chair in the corner of the living room. He seems very lethargic and I put the medicine in his ear and he didn't want to get off the chair. 

I got a text that Jamie and Melissa now have power. The text came in at 11pm last night. Jamie's family were on vacation to Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills. They were staying at a large KOA campground in the area. 

815am: To Wash. Pk. Parkview, (ASPLUNDH CONSTRUCTION was doing the pole work. Not ATT- 5 gus and many trucks but no action), Wash. Pk. southside, northside, up the hill, Parkview, Fairway...ONE HOUR AND 30 MINUTES. 

***Buddy was still in the chair and very lethargic. At 1025am he ate more and kept it down. I fed him a little more at 1145am but threw it up at 1210pm. 1215pm I called Brewer and got an appointment for 430pm. I was happy to get it because they would be closed on Tuesday the Fourth of July.  

150pm: Bike Ride: ONE HOUR- South parallel to Chatham west of the private golf course beyond Cherry and almost to the mall. 

Reading 'ABE LINCOLN- VAMPIRE HUNTER'

415pm: to Brewer. The results: No gel pen till at least Wednesday and he'll call just after closing (6pm) to tell me about the blood work. I had Dr. Kirk- $219.13.

Hosed down the cat carrier. Looks brand new. 

Reading 530pm and I noticed a guy with a CWLP vest walking in front of the house. He asked me if there were any downed lines behind my house and I showed him. He said they were just old telephone lines or part of a cable network. He said power would be restored 'in a couple of days'. 

630pm-7pm- On the phone with Joe and Janny. Jamie at his family are due back tonight by 9pm. 

830pm-9pm: Walked, Fairway, Pasfield Golf Course and over to Washington Park Carillon and this is the first time that I had been back around the 'flower building' and noticed 'Roman Cultural Society (1971)' pillars. The lighting and courtyard really looks good in the evening. On the way back along Parkview I noticed that the people on the southside of Parkview have power, but those on the northside do not.  A 30 minute walk but a bit too humid.

Before I left on the walk I noticed a bucket truck working on the sagging transformer behind Bob and Carol's house. This pole must be crucial to the people on that side of Westview and the homes on Greenview.

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...

Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix).
