Live Together Die Alone

Fall is upon us. The weather has really cooled down here over the last couple weeks. We only got into the 100s a couple days this week. I can take the dogs out at any time of the day without worrying about the blacktop burning their little pawsies. Our morning walks are down right pleasant. And the electric bill was under $200 this month.

Weve started the LOST again. were working on the second disc of the first season. Ive never watched a TV series as amazing as this one. Every time I watch it (and this is my 4th time through season 1) theres something new. I cant get over it. I just want to watch it over and over and over again.

Its getting really close to baby time. We have baby Jacks room all ready ready already. The hospital bag is packed. ill probably be putting the car seat in the Patriot in the next couple days.

Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town

Every Sunday our apartment complex has a continental breakfast in the clubhouse. They have things like bagels, yogert, fruit and muffins. Jaime and I have been going almost every week since we found out about it.

There is a group of old women who are there also every week. They line up at the door while they wait for the doors to open. They push their way in and scrounge up all the food, all the while yelling at one another about who wants coffee and who wants sugar and who doesnt want milk. Then they sit at the table and "under their breath" yell about every single person who is remotely different that happens to walk through.

Example: There was a family that came in who, as best as I can tell, was from the middle east. The woman was covered and this was not acceptable. Quite enough for the whole club house to hear, the old ladies went on to express their disgust with this family and their decision to dress as they were raised to dress. "They live here now, they shouldnt dress that way."

I could go on and on and on and on and on about how horrible these women are. Some day I might go sit with them. And when I do Ill probably be the only one at the table without coffee burning the flesh off my face.

When I become a bigoted old man who doesnt have any volume control and constantly display my complete lack of social order, please, lock me up in an old persons home and dont come visit me.

Sonic Boom

Jaime, Dan and I went to the Sonic today. It was great. Wed seen the commercials all the time since moving to Phoenix but never went. Dan wasnt very enthusiastic about it because he had gotten Sonic before. The problem was that he had only gotten Sonic, he didnt GO TO Sonic. See, Sonic dubs themselves as "Americas Drive In". Sure theres a drive thru for losers who just want fast food to bring home to their fat kids but the real patrons sit there and eat. You pull up to one of the dozens of menu boards and when youre ready to order you press the big red button. The girl comes on in what can only be described as "drive thru stereo" and you tell her what you want. Then a different girl comes out on roller skates and brings your food right to the car.  Most importantly, you get to have clever conversations with your friends in your car while eating the food just like in the commercials.

Learn to Swim

We finally got what I consider to be monsoon weather. Last night, as we were getting ready for bed, the sky filled with lightning. Within moments the winds started. A couple minutes later, rain, rain and more rain. We went out and sat on the patio and watched the parking lot flood in a matter of minutes.

After wed been asleep for a little while the power went out. About an hour later it was getting hot in the apartment. By this time the wind had died down so for the first time in months we opened the windows during sleepy time.

Today we watched the news and apparently this was the worst storm in nearly 15 years. We had nearly an inch of rain and hurricane force winds. Roofs were ripped off houses, trees were blown over, tens of thousands of people went without power. It was glorious.
