These pictures are Trumpet vines growing in our back yard. They attract hummingbirds and bees. There is a bee inside one of the red flowers. These vines are growing on our walls and make a nice covering.
Well, not much happening here today. I worked in the backyard, went to the hardware store, met my pal for lunch, took a nap and now the lovely Mrs. Sneed is home from work. We just might take a trip to the casino tonight.
The clown bandits were arrested and it turns out to be a guy and three women. It was fun to kid about them. I tried to portray them as noble crusaders, out to rid our fair city of payday loan scum. The could have at least helped me out a bit. Instead, they are just the garden variety jugheads. Probably involved in drugs to boot.
I am not making this up. They were caught because one of them was stopped for driving with no license and his car impounded. Police discovered a big red nose in the car and put two and two together. He tried to shoot his way out using a giant seltzer bottle...there I go again.
I met a guy at lunch today named Charlie. My friend and I have lunch on Friday's at a local sports bar and I see Charlie and his wife there most Fridays. Although I had never officially met him, Charlie always waved to us. I was walking in today when Charlie waved to me, so I went over and spoke to him. He and I exchanged introductions.
Charlie is 88 years old, although you might not guess that he is because he is a spry old guy. His wife is 83 and uses a walker because of the effects of a stroke. They have been married for 60 years. Charlie said he guesses they are compatible. You think?
Charlie is a retired Army officer with 42 years of service both active duty and as a civilian Army employee. He worked in Army intelligence, which is not an oxymoron. He retired from the Army and taught public school for a couple of years, although he said he didn't really fit in the school culture and his methods clashed with those of the other teachers. He worked 12 additional years as an instructor and course developer for the Army before retiring for good.
Later, he came over to out table and regaled us with several funny stories about his Army adventures. Evidently, he had a reputation in the Army as a character. He certainly is a character nowadays.
People have often had really interesting lives. If we take the time to listen to them we find that out.
Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong and sometimes just full of it.
