“a drive up for loading groceries with a roof....and they load them for you”

None of that anyplace I’ve shopped, but it would only be found in Oh-Nine, or some la-de-da place like that in SA, where even my old 4X4 would not be allowed in the parking lot...

Not all that la-di-da at all. Ordinary folks shop there all the time.

The garage/workshop are all emptied of all but my tools, my mountain bike, etc-it feels so weird-the other garage will be tackled by my compadre and I tomorrow-the rest of MrT5’s stuff put together, and taken to my favorite charity-happily, there are some building materials left from construction of this house to make a little dent in the building of a new one-that will save me a much-needed buck or two.

The spooks appear to be unhappy with the changes in their environment-little air currents in the garage, footsteps, the familiar smell of cologne, etc-more activity than since the place was first built.

We don’t have any villages/small communities out here like that-all these are just ranch/farm towns-the basic is all there is. I think small towns in the southwest are more like big trading posts-you have to go 23 miles to Boerne-about 7000 people, and only 20 miles or so from SA-to even find a supermarket, health food store, or Home Depot.

They will assist anyone who asks at any of the GE stores. The smaller Shop n Save store nearby has a covered area for bagboys to load. I usually buy my mom’s groceries there. It is a little more, but they do always have baggers and short lines.

It was more better suited to me than “Rebel Yell” which was the song my colleague had first chose for me.

Weird thing here. I have the same rental car as the car i have at home. That never happened before. Of course this is light silver, not dark. And it doesn’t have the touchscreen and backup camera. Or AWD.

It seems of late I've spent less time being footle and more time negotiating decisions requiring responsible and thoughtful contemplation....

Should I have my outy turned into an inny?

I’d like to think that, but they are probably pissed at the upsetting of their routine-this is the same kind of activity that went on when the place was under construction that freaked out a couple of workers so that they refused to work on the second story. It has calmed down over the years, but now it is escalating with the changes...
