Below average tempreratures in North Texas all week. Around 90F to 93F (@33C).

As I type this, a pop-up rain shower just... popped-up. Nice heavy rain, too. I still have only run my sprinkler system twice in 2021. Normally in summer, I run it twice per week, and hand water my herbs almost every day. I only had to hand water about once per week this summer. Rain has been enough.

Made it to Orlando, no problem. Got in a little ahead of time because of a medical emergency onboard, so the pilot burned rubber..., er...air?...to get us down in a hurry.

No sign of any bad weather really, just a little wet and overcast. Are you all sure a hurricane came through here?

We're staying in a quirky old boutique hotel, The Edgewater. You have to call an employee to work the elevator, because you actually have to work the elevator; I think she said it dates back to 1926.

Mrs. Tasty Reuben. Hey, speaking of which, and speaking of what he said about how much she liked the current recipe challenge ingredient: TastyReuben, have you ever called her “sweet potato”?

I've seen her in a pic, didn't look like that?
That person looks a lot younger.

I believe those were from a time when people would cover stairs with leather, instead of carpet. Not sure.

I change my avatar occasionally. Like MG pointed out, that's gender-swapped...or maybe I'm really a 15yo girl. Off to listen to some K-Pop!

Raise your hand if your mom/grandmom (for the younger members) had/has one of these to hide the spare toilet paper roll:

Oops...I was looking at this on my phone, and I didn't see the beard, so I made an assumption.

One one of my neighbors has a newborn, so the entire neighborhood is blessed everyday with the sound of a crying baby.

Thankfully, the baby either sleeps very well or my window blinds are great at blocking the sound, I never hear the baby at night
