Don’t hold my beer

A shout out for the Michigan convenience store customer who shot a would be robber while holding a six-pack of beer in the other. I’m surprised there aren’t memes of this all over the internet.

I never had much experience with old people growing up, since most people in my family died under age 60. Things such as dementia are alien concepts to me. My current tenant is in her late 70s and is the early stages of dementia. Her granddaughter lives next door and keeps an eye on herContinue reading “Slowly fading away”

Wendy’s comes back to Coffeyville

At the intersection of the two highways in town a truck stop is replacing the hotel that was there. Part of the truck stop includes a Wendy’s fast food restaurant. No word if it will be selling crack out of the drive thru like the last one did when in got shut down right afterContinue reading “Wendy’s comes back to Coffeyville”

Oversleeping

I overslept today and have to get to work. Mayb

Power outage

Right after I came home my power went off. Evergy thought it would be an hour and a half. It took two and a half hours to get the power back on. This could have been bad, but the same storm that caused the power outage cooled temperatures down twenty degrees to downright tolerable.

Jury Duty again

Landlord Blues

I have a small rental property in town. Last night the tenant said the drain was stopped up. I tried not to nuke it with Liquid Plumber, but after a few hours I went ahead and got the drain cleared for now.

Bobby Bonilla Bonus Day

A friend showed me an article in USA Today about Bobby Bonilla’s long term deferred payments. Not only are the Mets paying him until 2035, but the Baltimore Orioles are paying him 500k every July 1 until 2028.

Happy Bobby Bonilla Day

Baseball fans mockingly celebrate the deferred contract with former outfielder Bobby Bonilla. Every July 1st from 2011 through 2035 the New York Mets have to cut a check for approximately 1.2 million dollars to Bonilla. He will be 72 when he gets his last check. Perhaps we should call it Dennis Gilbert Day in honorContinue reading “Happy Bobby Bonilla Day”

Daylight

For the next two months I get to leave for work during daylight hours. Since driving at night is becoming more of a chore I am going to enjoy it.
