Update.....
Apr. 18th, 2026 08:52 amSo yesterday I slept through the storm warnings...
At work last night I was telling one of the nurses that I did that and she proceeded to tell me...
We apparently had FOUR tornados in the area yesterday and apparently one of them hit the northeast corner of Stewartville, aka my town. :o :o :o
Here is a video of the activity from yesterday...

A Day In The Life.....
Apr. 17th, 2026 08:02 pmWell, a couple of days.....
After sleeping pretty well earlier in the week despite all the appointments I had, Thursday I had to get up early.
I had a show, "Sleuth", up at the Guthrie Theater to see with my friend Neil,
mrdreamjeans.
First alarm went off at 3 pm. I laid there until the second alarm went off at 3:30 pm, and then I got up and started getting ready.
I opened the medicine cabinet to get my toothbrush, and a bottle of shiny gold nail polish fell out and shattered in the sink. It splattered every where.
I cleaned up some of it, but I had to get ready to get out on the road.
Uneventful drive up to the show, until I got to Minneapolis.
I was sitting at a red light and I was looking over at something on the other side of the intersection.
The *itch behind me laid on her horn. I flipped her the bird and drove on.
She whipped over to the middle lane of the road, pulled up beside me, and purposefully swerved into my lane nearly hitting me.
I slammed on the brakes and hit my horn.
She then pulled across two lanes to the far right side of the road and took off.
So that *itch didn't even want/need to be in the lane I was in.
If I had an old junker of a can, it would have been so tempting to swerve back at her and hit her. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went on my way to the theater.
The show was okay. I enjoyed the first act much more then I did the second act. So the second half was kind of a let down.
Thankfully the drive home was uneventful.
When I got home I headed for the bathroom and started cleaning up the rest of the spilled nail polish.
Some how during that process I managed to cut the tip of my right index finger.
Talk about sore and makes typing or really doing much of anything with that finger so much fun.
This morning I fell asleep on the couch shortly before bedtime. I woke up about 1 1/2 hours later and crawled into bed.
I woke up some time later and looked back at my alarm clock and it was blank, aka no power.
I got up to go find my phone and no power in the whole house.
I picked up my phone and there was a weather alarm showing. We had been in another tornado warning and hour or so earlier. :o :o :o
I set my phone alarm and crawled back into bed.
Eventually got up and showered.
Checked the mail box and one of the things I got was a graduation party announcement for a neighbor boy.
This is from the family who a couple of years ago when I was without a car gave me a ride to work a couple of times and then told me that this situation was going to work for them, and I started spending a fortune on rental vehicles.
I haven't spoken to them since and vice versa, and now I am expected to give their child a graduation gift?
So how has your day or two been? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apr. 16th, 2026 10:25 amI use to think the Hollywood Walk of Fame was super cool.
Then I heard that the stars given to special people.
They are basically bought by whoever wants one.
And now this story really sums up how laughable the Walk of Fame really is.....

Last Week's Movie Quote...
Aunt Louise: I think it's trying to tell us something!
Captain Blythe: It's a car, woman, not Lassie!
It comes from the 1980 Disney movie, "Herbie Goes Bananas".
It was the last of the original run of Herbie movies.
IMHO, it was a case of one too many sequels.

So i had my appointment with Occupational Medicine this morning.
Very nice doctor.
When I told him I had just been to Orthopedics and was told that I couldn't see them and had to see Occupational Medicine first, he laughed and said that's not true.
Who do you believe any more...
Anyway, he examined me and had some different thoughts about possible problems.
One outside chance possibility is a fracture of the patella or tibia.
He ordered therapy and suggested an MRI.
So if anybody is really bored Monday morning, I will gladly allow you to take my place.
I have both a CT Scan of the chest and now an MRI Scan of my left knee. :o :o :o
Any takers.....

Apr. 9th, 2026 10:05 amI just got a phone call from Occupational Medicine this morning.
Seems the lady I spoke to yesterday screwed things up.
She marked me down as not being an employee.
My question to her is, Why the bloody hell would I call you if I wasn't an employee.
The lady that called today was like, you are an employee right?
I said, Yeah, for the last 45 years. :o
So I now I have an appointment tomorrow morning to see one of their doctors to see what my next step will be.
My prediction?
They are going to have to try and "treat" me through their office.
Which is laughable from past experiences.
