You and Caleb are hanging out tonight?, comes a young sounding voice over the phone. "Yes, I replied, he's my best bud". Who is this, was my question and looking at Caleb. My name is so and so, was just trying to find out if Caleb was hanging with you tonight. Okay, well have a nice evening.
He gets done with the phone call and I, obviously, am asking him WHAT, exactly, that was all about. He had been asked by several of his friends to be a designated driver, knowing that Caleb neither drinks nor does drugs. They wanted him to drive them to a party out in the desert where they would be doing both drugs and alcohol. He had given his friends the excuse that he was home, hanging out with his dad. Well, he was home, we hang out here and there, so there. He didn't WANT to be their designated driver, he didn't want anything to do with it and so I commend him for finding a way out of it. Though, if it were me, I would have just flat out told them: No thanks, don't want to go to the desert and be subjected to a bunch of drugged up people for an entire night and really, I don't really appreciate using me as your driver simply because I choose not to do the same kinds of things you are doing.
But that's me. I was glad to be of help to him to get out of that situation, regardless of the fact that I had no clue what was going on while I was on the phone with his friend.
Rain. Finally. It rained last night, for how long I have no idea, but everything was wet this morning. It was supposed to basically rain all day long, but it's been sporadic and not that heavy. I'll take it over nothing, thank you. I checked the trailer on the roof vents. One of them leaked badly every time it rained. No a drop of water to be seen anywhere today : ) Which makes it ready to put new carpet in that area. Also makes it ready to put the new mattress in there - the new mattress that I don't have, lol.
I am still wishing that it would just start pouring rain and go on for at least a couple of hours. Just now looking at the radar, there is still plenty of chance to get a nice deluge of water from the sky yet to come and still some daylight hours left to enjoy it. Hoping.
Church. I went. It went on for 2-1/2 hours but I was totally into it today. Well, excepting at the end. I wanted to get out of there and get to Walmart and get that over with - out of dog food and needed a new pair of steel toed boots for work. I wore the current pair down to holes in the soles.
The rest of today? Ummm, nothing much planned. The trailer roof is wet or I would probably get up there and start on that other, small roof vent. It's a vent for the sewer, basically. All sewer systems in homes or trailers have vents in them. You might have some problems with the stuff actually going down instead of up and out if you didn't have vents on them : ) Anyway, this particular vent is broken, the cap is missing and yes, water can and probably is getting in through there. Oh well.
Bought some nice, over-priced pork chops at Walmart and just devoured a couple. Meat is pretty much over-priced everywhere now. Inflation. High inflation. This is what some of the doom and gloomers have been predicting would happen in 2012 for about a year now. The rest of their predictions I TRULY hope do not come to pass, but if it does, coming soon and in 2012.
The Obama administration and spending. It's a farce. Obama wants power over everything, this is his goal, it's obvious and it's determined, calculated and very probable if he gets another 4 years. He wants to control everything and apparently he thinks he has the right to do so. Socialism, coming to a city near you. Maybe it's already here in some forms.
Well, I am not going to ruin my afternoon dwelling on that s***, not worth it. How much of my taxes, though, is reasonable to give to all the different forms of government? Well, it's FAR beyond anything I would consider reasonable already.
Anyway, despite the fact that radar shows different shades of green covering the city - meaning rain - I have sunshine. I love sunshine, don't get me wrong, but I want the rain, darnit!
