Good morning GH.  Well, it is a little after 8:00 in the AM, and the view out the Weather Window is clear skies and sunshine.  Sugar the Weather Dog is at my feet and she is coming off a bone chewing high, more on that later.  The current temperature on the desktop is a brisk 55 degrees, just like I like it.  Mary and I had a good day of reading the papers and watching the noon show on MSNBC, a discussion about women's issues, and then we set out for some shopping.  All of this was preceded by a little cleanup of the deck and the viewing platform for the Grand Haven Channel, which is another part of the story for later.  Everything went swimmingly up until the end.  We stopped in at the local big box hardware store and got all that we needed.  Next, we stopped in at the everything's a dollar store and the results also were good.  Finally, we went to the local pharmacy/stuff retailer, and picked up a few items where everything also went well, until we got to the pharmacy counter.  I was planning to get a vaccination for Shingles, no pun intended as it regards that recent roof debacle, but the young lady at the counter said that we would have to wait while it thawed.  However, after a few short minutes of waiting, she told us that the insurance would not cover because they weren't a clinic.  A quick check of the customer service people at the insurance company confirmed that.  Next we tried the local urgent care clinic, they don't do that there.  Our choice may be to pay up front and then be reimbursed.  So, today I'll spend some time checking for a clinic that does perform that service.  Which leads me to the story of watching the GH channel.  Sugar and I repaired to the front porch, she with her bone, of which she is highly protective, and me with my surf radio and the last three bottles of the beer that Adam and Steph left behind.  I also had the cooler to keep them cold, along with a few cans of beer that Mary had placed in the freezer for my benefit, LOL.  It was excellent.  I have included a picture, courtesy of Mary's Photography Service, to illuminate the tale.  Until later, it is...Tea time.
