This past week had some
interesting moments. Monday the 4th, I went with two
people to a local restaurant; the local restaurant Oakwood Smokehouse
& Grill was chosen, as it's a place I like eating at. Everyone
enjoyed their meal, and indeed the place is usually busy, usually
with grey-haired denizens. Tuesday I did nothing but Wednesday, that
was more active than expected. I stopped at a Barnes & Noble then
ate at Twin Peaks, as I hadn't done that in awhile. Well, it wasn't
the best experience I have ever heard there, service-wise or
otherwise. That is OK, as there are plenty of places to visit again
or try for the first time... this month, I should try a restaurant
new to me as hopefully it'd go well and at least I would have
something to discuss. Anyhow, it was at Twin Peaks that I heard the
awful news about Alex Trebek and like everyone else I felt incredibly
sad.
Real early on Thursday
morning, I had to make another airport run-this was different from
the norm as this time I dropped off two people, at two different
airports. The first was at the regional Orlando-Sanford Airport, then
I went off to the infamous Orlando International Airport, and even at
around 6 AM the traffic at the airport is bad and many people drive
cluelessly. On the way back I stopped at a Denny's for a bite to eat,
and my purchase of their limited edition Orange Dreamsicle drink was
a very wise purchase. Friday, I went to a carwash, a new one in town.
It was one of those newfangled washes where you drive up to a track
and leave your vehicle in neutral as it's guided along a track. While
in the wash, they flashed some colorful psychedelic lights and that
amused me. That went fine although I did experience the all too
common phenomenon of “Rude Floridians”; once you paid you had to
wait for a gate to raise up before you could proceed. Well, there
were two pay stations and both did not immediately raise, because the
wash was busy at the time. Well, both cretins in front of me were not
smart enough to realize this so they constantly honked their horns;
such behavior happens often down here. There is no shortage of dumb
people around here, which makes me glad that I do know plenty of nice
ones... people who are not fools.
The weekend, I only went
out on Sunday-but it was a long day as I went to a variety of
different places and spent a lot of time out; this included various
outlet clothing stores. Sometime this week I will go through my
clothes and donate what I don't need to Goodwill; I will never be on
a Best Dressed list and I don't even want to mention how old some of
my shirts are, but I figured it was time to update my wardrobe and
indeed I did purchase some new shirts yesterday. Of course, I also
nearly got into a wreck when someone swerved into me for absolutely
no reason... “typical Florida” is what I have to say about that.
To close this out, in the
preceding week I did revisit on YouTube some episodes of the CourtTV
show Most Shocking, which was videos of such things as car crashes,
chases, criminals doing wild things, and whatnot; back in the day
CourtTV was my channel in the evening, then they “rebranded” as
TruTV and became the home of horrible fake “reality” shows and
now I haven't watched that channel in many years. Anyway, when I
return a week from today, hopefully there will be no more
near-accidents.
