I often deal with international associates and customers. There are times where I adjust my schedule to accommodate their preferred time for a call. This morning I get up an extra 1-1/2 hours early for such a call. 5 minutes before the call is set to begin I get an email from them cancelling the call.

I was behind an idoit this morning on my way to work that was driving below the speed limit. Vehicles were stacking up behind them anxiously trying to get to their destination. We come upon a traffic light that turns red, with all of us having the ability to stop for it, all, except for the slow driving idoit that runs it.

That is me with shirts/jackets. I am a tweener with either a large or extra-large. Depends on the maker and the particular cut. I have to try everything on before purchasing. The problem is that I go to a lot of conferences/expos/etc. where the company wants us to provide our size to them so that they can custom order the "uniform" so that we all match. At issue is that there is a lack of consistency on the brand that is being sourced so I cannot with certainty provide an accurate size. There have been times where I am dressed different from others because what I was given did not fit. I am going to a conference in Peru next month where they are providing the sport coat. Who knows if it will fit or not?

No, it encourages bad behavior.

A similar situation happened to my fiancee's dog a couple of years ago. It was a sudden event. The dog was about 12 years old and had what looked like a stroke. The event lasted just a couple of seconds but it left the dog without the ability to stand. Up to that point there was no indicators at all. Took the dog to the vet about 10:00pm. The vet said that it was a neurological event (cannot remember the term) and that they could do an exploratory surgery but could not guarantee any success. Sadly, it was universally agreed that the best option was to put the dog down.

My cat, Scratch, is an inside/outside cat. He decided to take a nap on the patio. I suppose he finds this comfortable.

I grew up in a neighborhood in a rural setting just outside of town. There were about 6 of us boys in the neighborhood that were all within 3 to 4 years of age range. We were surrounded by woods and fairly close to I-20. We would constantly ride our bikes up to the truck stop to look at the semi-trucks and climb all over the new trucks at the KW and Peterbilt dealerships. No one seemed to care. The people at the two truck dealerships would even give us models and brochures of the trucks. The farthest point that we rode our bikes in a single direction was just over 10 miles. No one knew that we did that until we went pedaling up to my aunt and uncle's house on the other side of town because we were thirsty. In my 12 year old mind those were much simpler times. -

Seeing this freaked me out a bit at first. Been to the South Rim numerous times and am familiar with the lodging (El Tovar, etc.) in that area; not so much the North Rim When I first read the headline my thoughts went to the Canyon Lodge in Yellowstone where we will be staying in early October.

I like the convenience of having pictures on my phone. I am not a tech geek so I am probably doing a lot of things wrong or there is an easier way but it is something that I know and am comfortable with. I travel a lot domestically and internationally therefore I have a lot of opportunities for some really cool photos. I actually use the photos on my phone as a sort of a diary of my travels for both work and play. Though I get some decent photos (many shared on here) with my I-Phone 11, there are times where I would like to zoom in and bring some distant siting into a closer view. I am really not that interested in purchasing a camera to solve the problem but would rather buy some type of attachment or some sort of Bluetooth gadget that I could zoom in with and have the image on my phone/I-pad to take the picture. Any of you Surlyites out there have any suggestions or recommendations?

My cat, Scratch, sleeps on his back often. I do have to be alert sometimes of the potential rabbit kick and front paws grab and quick gentle bite.
