We’re getting the same storm system as Tasty, although not as bad. 25-40 mm of rain today, and rain most of yesterday as well.

Calm so far today (except steady rain) but lots of gusting wind last night.
 
. . . . . and in other news today, the City Council of Tewksbury has voted to rename the town
to Twerkingbury, NJ . . . " Film at 11.
 
Here’s how my day is going:

(Approaching Pretty Young Thing in the Kroger parking lot)
“I like that hat you’re wearing! It’s cool!” she says.

“Thanks!” 😏

“You look just like my grandpa!”

😒

:laugh:
Did you do the math on that? Her grandpa started young.
 
She might be a little sweet on you, eh?
At first, I was pleased with myself, because I thought, “She’s obviously sincere and not just complimenting in the moment for a better tip…she’s indicated I don’t need to leave a tip!”

Then I started thinking about it on the drive home, and that little voice in my head said, “Get over yourself, Romeo, she’s obviously playing the long game - she knows you’re in here once a month…she’s forfeited this tip, knowing you’re a sucker who’ll tip twice as much from now on. Well played, Cassandra…well played.”

:laugh:

Oh you suspicious soul, she likes you and wanted to let you know.
Accept the compliment!
