Terreiro

The drag of winter has me thinking about our summer vacation, I know the wife and kids will want to go some place crowed and filled with the scent of humanity. I thus will opt for a secluded cabin with a fly fishing stream close by. Of course everyone knows where I will wind up this summer. In a crowd of people seeking the same thing that I am a clover filled field with running water close by. Looks like Disney will win again.

My wife loves the Outback Steakhouse and for her birthday we are going to have dinner with her sons there. I am a big fan of Longhorn Steakhouse, but Outback cooks a very good steak and that is good enough for me. The art of cooking a good steak is it seems a lost art form, we have gotten some steaks that were badly cooked the last few times we have tried to eat out and it seems we are better off grilling our own steaks at home. We cook out on the grill a lot and it is pretty easy and costs a lot less so we will be cooking steaks at home more in the next few months.

The weather has turned down right cold the last few days and one bad thing about delivering newspapers we can not stay home if it is to cold outside. We are pretty much like the mail carriers neither rain nor snow or gloom of night will keep us from the delivery of the newspapers. I wish we got paid as well as letter carries do and where is our strong union at when we need it. I love my job and it is only a couple of months until it warms back up then we have a great job working at night and sleeping during the day when it is hot outside.

We have a couple of mice that have thrown our kitchen into a state of disrepair, we have been unable to catch them, we have tried many times. The are so smart they steal the peanut butter off the mouse trap and escape all the time. The worst part is we can not leave the butter out to be soft when we want to use it because they love butter as much as we do. We will step up our efforts to catch these critters so our lives can go back to normal, soon.

Man is it cold outside, it is going to get down into the single digits tonight and I am not ready for that at all. I will have to leave a drip going in the pipes to keep it from freezing up and busting. I sure do not want to deal with a busted pipe on a cold day like tomorrow is going to be. They are calling for flurries and temps in the mid twenties. That is to much like winter for me. I want it closer to eighty and a nice cool drink with an umbrella to cool me off man is that a pipe dream today.
