Slow growth
Even in the middle of persephone Days, plants will grow. They just grow slower. When I put my pepper plants indoors for the winter, some of them had flowers. Four weeks after I brought them in some of them have set fruit. What I can’t figure out is how they got pollinated. There are noContinue reading “Slow growth”
Back to school
Most schools in Kansas reopen tonight High school basketball also restarts tonight. At Altoona-Midway the teachers have to come in, but the students don’t have to be there until tomorrow. It will make tonight’s basketball game interesting. At least it is a home game.
Overtime
I haven’t been working a lot of overtime at Wally World, but I may have to start. I had to replace the hot water heater which put a serious crimp in my emergency fund. I need a normal weekend to make up for last week. Next week, I will come in on one of myContinue reading “Overtime”
New Year’s surprises

Hopefully theContinue reading “Food inflation takes a breather”

I normally have Tuesday night off, but because of the holiday I have to go in tonight.Continue reading “Cold snap busted”
Taming the beast
I had to go to Wally World in Coffeyville to get a new phone. When I leave work at Indy, there is no one in electronics to unlock the cabinet with the cell phones. I almost got out of Walmart with the phone when the smell of Buffalo Wings got the best of me. IContinue reading “Taming the beast”
Fleas Love Your Dog
At Wally World the canned music is a constant even on overnights. The last two nights have had Jose Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad”. One of my former coworkers at the bottled water company told us about his sister-in-law who thought he was singing “Fleas Love Your Dog”. Yes she was blonde. I thought he might beContinue reading “Fleas Love Your Dog”
