Just some randoms from today

I woke up grumpy with a headache and sinus congestion. It cleared up after a while. Fresh air at night would help, but the bedroom only has one window in which the air conditioner sits at the moment. A major design flaw when this house was built as the bedroom is on the corner and could easily have another window on another wall.

I could pull the AC out, but as soon as I do we'll have a 90 degree night and I'll have to put that sucker back in.

I've been tired of going to parties and get togethers and not drinking with everyone because I don't like beer. Everyone says it's an acquired taste but until recently I haven't acquired it.

Over vacation I tried Bud Light with Lime and it actually isn't bad. Sure it may not be a manly beer, but it beats a Mike's Hard Lemonade and is much cheaper than mixed drinks. I know I could also try Corona with Lime, but I'm too lazy to keep fresh limes and cut them up. I wonder why the lime only comes in Bud Light?

I went to Zimmie's comics in Lewiston today, and wasn't as impressed as I had hoped. I never like asking for things in stores. I figure if it's not in plain site and easy to find, you're not doing a good job displaying your wares. Beside I enjoy browsing before I find what I came for.

I went to pick up Superman #679 and Star Trek Year Four: Enterprise Experiment #5 that were both released today. I found neither on their new release rack, but saw others I knew had been released today. I'm guessing you have to reserve to be sure to get your copy the day of release. I'll just grab them next week at Casablanca Comics in Portland.

I did pick up a couple of back issues of other books that looked interesting, and I did learn a lot overhearing a discussion on the theory of 20 sided dice and using them in various role playing games. This guy talked about it the whole time I was there. I may be a geek, but he really should go find a date.

My father-in-law had his new souped up truck on display tonight at Cruise Night at the local ice cream stand here in Lisbon. Not only can you take my man card away for drinking Bud Light Lime, but also for not enjoying looking at cars with their hoods up. I did see a 1970 something Dodge Dart there that reminded me of my mother's car that my grandfather warned her was just too much muscle for her. She wanted it though, and drove her two young kids around town in it proud as can be.

She sold it to a friend of the family to get a more practical station wagon, and he still has it. She got to drive it one last time before she passed away, and she loved it.

My wife goes back to work tomorrow after summer vacation. (Summer vacation because it's in the summer, and because that's her name) I'll be spending the day alone with Jake and I'm planning to take him out in the morning to Danville Junction in Auburn near the railroad yard. Hopefully there'll be some activity there for us to watch. I think we'll both be just as excited.
