There's a small population of rattlesnakes in a national park a bit north of here. I've encountered them twice. Not something I needed to see.

it's always nice to see deer. Although the local farmers don't like them since they eat their crops.

20 years ago today, I was on my way to Calgary, Alberta on vacation and missed all the fun at home caused by the great blackout.



Hope everybody has a good Monday.

Julie - It is fun to see animals

Chris - Oh wow!

Not the best Monday for me as we had a training downtown and I hate driving there and around. Took me two hours to get home tonight

Firecrest

For sure!

Today I got some drinks, cheese, cookies, a calculator, and a soap dish!

Chris

Mel - for the long commute. Driving through heavy traffic is so stressful.

Norman - what type of cheese do you like? I tend to stick to medium cheddar, but gouda is nice on occasion. I should go out to the cheese factory and get some curds.

OMG that's my worst fear.
I HATE SNAKES!

Enigma

Thanks Chris

Norman - Nice!

Hi Ken

Firecrest

Chris - I like a lot of cheese, cheddar and string cheese are my fav!

Chris

Good Morning all.

How is everybody today?

Might run out to the store today for a couple of things, but I'll probably wait until tomorrow since there's nothing I need desperately.

I'm fine thanks, Chris. It's hot and sunny today. I paddled in the sea and bought a Cornish pastry in a nearby village.

Thanks for the article, Chris. It's amazing how much chaos can be caused by a blackout.

I'm sorry you had a bad Monday, Mel.

Hi, Ken. I quite like snakes. I wouldn't go too close to one in the wild, though.

I love cheese. It's hard to pick a favourite but I love mozzarella, blue cheeses, Cheddar and Gruyere.

Norman, that's a good variety of items that you bought.

Another long work day for me. Extra work assigned

Julie - Paddling in the sea sounds so nice. Thanks

Chris

Julie - that sounds like a nice, relaxing day.

Mel - hope you have a better day at work today

I need to run some errands today.

Sulieter

I'm sorry you have so much work, Mel.

It was a relaxing day, Chris.

It's looking like it might rain here soon.

Enigma

Thanks Chris Today has been good. Staying in at home to work and document.

Hope you get your errands done.

Thanks Julie

We need rain bad here. Fingers crossed for next week as there’s a chance

Chris

Julie - It's raining here too. I hope it will cut the humidity outside.

Mel - working from home must be nice on occasion.

The parking tickets at the local hospital and medical clinic have been updated. Now they have a QR code you could scan to pay, rather than feeding the machine $3 in cash. Trying to convince hubby that scanning the QR code would not leave all your bank account info open for hacking.

One Thing Remains

Chris - I hope he listens It makes things so much easier when you don't have to carry cash.

Julie - I hope you are enjoying the rain and enjoying your relaxing day.

Mel - Fridays are the best days to work from home. I hope it's been a non-stressful day for you!


We are leaving on Sunday morning to go on vacation. An actual vacation and not a swim meet this time
