As I suspected, the
preceding week I had wasn't as thrilling as the week before that. In
fact, I don't have much to talk about at all. When I return a week
from today, I could be talking about a weekend out of this world.
Last Monday I did end up at a Barnes & Noble. Not everything went
to plan but the B&N was a highlight; I purchased two random
items. Tuesday I did nothing and Wednesday I stayed in for the 4th
of July. As it ended up being a driving rainstorm around the time
that the official fireworks at any location would happen, this was a
good choice on my part. Besides, I'll still be a bitter old man here
and note how “back in the day” the fireworks I saw (in a
neighboring town to the one I lived in) as a kid have so many
nostalgic memories and were generally great, the ones I see since I
moved to Florida just aren't the same. Thursday was more interesting.
Thursday, I went to
Lakeland... the outdoor mall they have there, in particular. It's the
one I was at a few months ago but did not spend a lot of time at
because I decided to attend a wrestling show that night because I
randomly saw one of the wrestlers at a gas station. I visited a few
of their stores and ate at a Beef O'Brady's Express, an offshoot of
the Florida-based restaurant chain. Everything went fine there.
Friday I did nothing but Saturday I got food from the local Burger
King. I tried their new Sourdough King and that tasted good, at least
far as modern Burger King food goes. On the way back I had a traffic
issue.... yeah I haven't mentioned it in awhile but to flog the dead
horse, Florida drivers are still bad. I honked at someone because
they were speeding and it impeded me from getting in the proper lane
to turn left. This guy suddenly started to bow up to me and it was
like he wanted to chase me. Suddenly, he spotted a police car in the
area and he drove away. To be honest, I probably saved that guy a
ticket for speeding as I am sure the cop would have pulled him over.
Sunday was me going to
Target. Nothing out of the ordinary happened there so let me mention
a snack recommendation. I discovered Coco Rolls and they are rolled
coconut wafers; they are pretty good whether you have the original or
salted caramel.
Like I said I don't have
much to talk about; I know that'll change come next Monday.
