JSS-- Just Some Stuff
1. SNOW?-- The crabapple tree in the front yard is losing its white blooms, even more in all this wind today. The front yard by it looks as if it has snowed.
2. GAS PRICES, APRIL 1989-- While looking through my journal, which dates back to August, 1977, I was complaining about the rapid rise in gas prices. Back in March it had been 93 cents a gallon, and by April 8th was up to, hold on...$1.09. It eventually peaked at $1.20. Ah, bring back the good old days as the GRBs are fast raising it now.
3. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY-- I want to wish my mom a Happy Mother's Day. Hope the card gets to Goldsboro, NC, today (mailed it Wednesday). At least I don't have to worry about forgetting this date (like her birthday) as it is hard to avoid constant reminders. Happy Mother's Day, Mom.
I don't know of anybody who is more busy in retirement than her.
Later, planning on going to the Northwest suburbs and visiting Frances and Amby's graves in Arlington Hts.
4. YARDWORK, EVERDAY-- I have worked in the yard every day for the last few weeks. Lots of transplanting of perennials, weeding, and thinning. yesterday, i worked on the flower bed out by the ditch and along the west side of the house. Didn't finish either.
5. TNCW-- Last night it rained quite hard and we lost power twice. Very windy this morning and was overcast, but the sun finally broke through. Considerably cooler than the last several days.
This can only mean that the Round Lake carnival must have stuck around for an extra weekend. TNCW stands for Typical Nasty Carnival Weather, and we've had that lousy stuff almost every time since 1976. Someone needs to do something about that mean old carnival.

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.
