Now that's what I'm talking about!!! Looks like enough for the night!
Went to eye doc today....got examined, dialated (what a PITA) and ordered new glasses. I had cataracts removed a few years ago, but I felt my vision is starting to deteriorate. So just picked up new glasses.... they seem to be ok. I got used to no glasses for most things except reading. Have about a dozen pair of readers scattered around so I could read up close. Tired of that, so I'm back to glasses again! Fortunately I do not NEED them to drive or ride bike. But they help reading far away road signs.
Ah...the joys of getting old!!

Funny, I was just coming in to comment about something that is relevant to that Aisle of Death.
I saw an add where the vines where taking over the house. They were moving and wrapping around things. It got my thinking, one of those I'm-high-and-philosophical-all-of-a-sudden, kind of thoughts. Vines can grow and reach for light, but how would a vine actively move without muscle like fiber to pull? They grow to light, not move to it. But, some plants DO move a little. What kind of internal structure would it take for a vine to be able to reach out and wrap around a person or animal in real time? I have some ideas and the experiments will commence post haste!

Good evening all. officially the weekend here and happy hour has begun. I have a cauliflower pizza crust browning in the oven. I will top with homemade pizza sauce, fresh tomatoes and cheese. This is the first one I have ever made. I must say it looks good in the oven. We will see what it taste like.

Afternoon Woodrow's.....
Sounds good Jeff. I have lost 10 lbs on Day 11 of my diet. Fairly impressed with those results. The diet most definitely works.
10 more lbs and I'm going back to vegetables, and still no carbs. However, when I hit the 20 lb mark I am having myself a cheat day....

Not long after I got on Park Rd 36 at PK this morning I got lit up and got my *** jerked over by a Constable. All his damn lights came on and he was very emphatically waving his arm for me to pull over.
Awwww ****.....
The speed limit goes from 65 to 50 on this road. I was going 64 in a 50.....
He walked up and I handed him license and insurance and the first words out of his mouth were "I don't know how you guys work in this heat"......
I'm thinking ****, I have chance. We chit chatted about work and where I was working at the lake, he said "well, slow down"...shook my hand and let me go....
