Fall Rain

It has suddenly turned cold & rainy here. Feels like fall. I was certainly hoping to get another month of warm temps until the kid could get here. It would be nice coming out of an actual 3 whole months of summer.

I really don't want to get depressed, but it is extremely trying when there is nothing but rain & black clouds. No sunshine. D-pressing.

One of the most enjoyable things about living in this area is the opportunity to view the wildlife. I get so excited when a deer, moose, or elk wander thru the yard.

When the kid was still living at home, we had a trampoline in the front of the house and a moose would come to drink the dew that settled upon it every morning. Watching his long tongue come out and swipe at the water was so endearing.

Our local latte lady gave us free tickets to see FOGHAT, GOLDY MCJOHN, & FRIENDZ, LEON HENDRIX MYSERIENCE, CIVILIZED ANIMAL & JAVA KOLA down at the Farragut State Park Amphitheater on Saturday, September 6. It lasts from Noon thru 8PM. It will be something to do.

Hubby found out at work today that since a majority of idiots have no spatial awareness when driving company vehicles, they are now required to get out and WALK up to drive-thrus. Which is immensely stupid. This includes bank, restaurant, and latte drive-thrus. It seems that a few of the employees at Verizon don't understand that a big vehicle will not fit thru a small space. Idiots. Thus the company mandate.

I am amazed that the company doesn't tell them how to wipe their butts. Whoops - that will be coming next...
