We have taken our daughter out to eat with us since she was an infant. She’s always been golden, never one to cry, scream, throw food, run away…. etc
Tonight, she was a nightmare. We went to crackel barrel and there wasn’t any kind of wait. The server went to seat us and she immediately ran back into the shop. I asked her to come, and she screamed NOOOOOO with such vocals the whole restaurant stopped talking. I picked her up at this point and brought her to the table, but now she’s screaming and crying.
I’ve never been so embarrassed and at a complete loss. I still have no idea what caused this or anything. She has never done anything remotely close to this.
The server grabbed a basket of biscuits and put it in front of her and she stopped screaming long enough to politely ask him for black berry jam.

I just learned that my sister who collapsed last year on the way home from a big family get together, and was subsequently diagnosed with diabetes and hypertension, as well as some seizure disorder, and who had a bad reaction to Lipitor that cause extreme muscle wasting has now developed rapid onset cataracts. She just can't seem to win for losing. I mean, we always joked that she was accident prone (and lucky her husband became a Personal Injury lawyer), but this is getting ridiculous.
EDIT: And she's trying to communicate with us by texting on a phone, which she can't really see.

It was 92A when I left the house at 1 PM, and 4 upon arrival. Hot part of the day and no shade. Great ride though.
No sunburn. I use pure zinc oxide when on the bike. Works great. Thursday morning I will ride back home, from a beach town further East. A route I much prefer.

I got 43 miles in I think. Latte and strawberry rhubarb crostata at the midpoint. And stood under this thing for a minute:

On the way home I stopped at the gas station. There was a van on the other side of the pump, and another pump beyond that.
I was minding my own business, looking down at the machine as it processed the card. In the background I hear a louder vehicle, like a monster truck, pulling under the roof.
All of a sudden, "BAMSSSSSSS." The monster truck was actually a tractor-trailer (minus the trailer), and it hit the air brakes.
What on earth was it doing at the Walmart grocery store gas station? It barely fit under the roof. I about had cardiac arrest.

Kooper also formed the original Blood, Sweat, and Tears and was the lead vocalist.

I worked at a shyster used car lot and some gas stations and eventually was partners in a garage with another alcoholic. He went to a new car dealer after we closed and I didn't end up at a new car dealer until 1989.

Kooper was certainly the bigger name.

Another couple whose house looked onto mine had a kid who would often throw tantrums in the morning. I used to think about what dealing with that most mornings would be like while enjoying my morning coffee. They moved maybe a year ago.

My kids still get pissy on a monthly cycle these days. I am sure you saw what I did there.
