JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1. It Figures, RL Carnival--This event happens every year. Whenever the annual Round Lake, Illinois, spring carnival takes place, we have absolutely horrible weather. This has been going on for at least 30 years now. I can remember working as a Jaycee at the ticket booth 30 years ago and having the temperatures drop 30 degrees in an hour. I can only remember one time when we had decent weather in that stretch.
Of course, yesterday, the weather changed dramatically and temperatures dropped. I didn't think about the carnival as the culprit until I was listening to WRLR out of Round Lake and heard that the carnival was opening. So, that explains it. Someone has to find a way to stop that carnival.
It rained off and on all yesterday. Today it is raining and the deck temp reads 39 degrees
2. New NTN Place--Yesterday, I stopped by a place that just got the NTN game in and played a few games of Appeteaser. At least people around the country now know who Vicki's Place is as we had two #1s and other top tens. Vicki's is located along the Fox River in McHenry, Illinois. It is a major stop for the thousands of boaters who cruise the Chain of Lakes and has outdoor seating and fake palm trees. Great place, but a bit on the expensive side.
3. "Iron Man"-- Saw this new movie yesterday at the McHenry Indoor Theater for the $3 matinee price. Great deal. Wasn't sure I'd like it, but definitely did, even with the large number of kids in attendance for the 1 pm showing. Found out that McHenry schools had an early dismissal at 12:30. They enjoyed the show as did I.
Capsule Review-- "Don't make a scientific guy mad at you."
4. MULTI SHOPPING/STOPPING-- Trying to watch my gas these days, so yesterday, along with going to Vicki's and the movie theater, I shopped at Circuit City, Meijer's, Best Buy, and did some grocery shopping at Val's on the way home. Every Little Bit.
5. GREAT CORN-- Val's had ears of corn, 4 for $1, so took a chance on them. So juicy, water jumped off every bite. Can summer be far behind?

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
