What an opportunity.   When you get up early, you get the chance to sit down at the computer and review the things that you did yesterday or before and think about the things that you plan to do in the future.  I'm thinking about this, because on Saturday, Mary and I went to the local bicycle store and bought two new bicycles.  In addition, we bought helmets, locks, a basket for Mary's bike and a tire pump so that we wouldn't be in need and have no way to inflate the tires.  Mary got a "girl's" bike, a nice metallic pink and I got a "man's" bike, silver with a larger frame.  In both cases, we really liked the efforts of the young man, who was the only employee on hand and the fact that the store is just two blocks from home. Both bikes are aluminum and easy to lift and carry if necessary.  We could have taken them home yesterday, but we felt that there was no rush : - ) due to the time of year.  We will pick them up on Monday or Tuesday.  That way the store gets the chance to install the accessories and we got to do other things.  Therein hangs a tale.  I was privileged to go the Laundromat and handle the laundry.  As always, that is in itself an adventure.  Separate, place in large capacity machines, wait.  Remove from washers, place in several dryers, wait.  Meanwhile, try to read while all about you are banging, talking as though there is no one else one the planet, and in general doing the laundry for an entire city, or so it seems, while blocking access to the tables set aside for folding laundry after drying.  I guess that some people are just oblivious.  I have to say, that if the washing machine doesn't get repaired soon, I'll have to scream.  I should mention, that the lawyer on the radio this morning, someone I count on for all my legal advice, was talking about wills, power of attorney, and leaving people out of your will as either a beneficiary or executor or someone who would act as the one with the power of attorney.  I'm glad that our children were willing to accept the responsibilities that go with that.  Another thought, if any of the people out there care, why is it that there was such a rush to allow anyone who wanted to own every broadcast outlet that they could get their hands on the opportunity to own them all if they had the money?  Oh yeah, money.  With the Pac's running amok as people and the people being like ostriches, what do we expect to happen?  That's enough for today, tea time.
