§ A Pedicure Not to Forget...

Once I began my walk around the park and yacht club I really enjoyed the gentle sea breeze blowing off the channel. The sun was a bright white hot, so I stepped lively to get done going around the perimeter before I boiled alive. Even tho the morning promised a very high heat index type day again, it is summer in South Texas, so it's to be expected. Once acclimated to heat and humidity, it's not fun...but, you live with it. I always tell myself, it's better than driving on icy, dangerous and slick highways and scooping snow where it remains on the ground for months at a time like when in Colorado all those years with many days and weeks at a time with below freezing.

So, please, do come walk with me.  Keep cool, shade yourself with a large brimmed hat and bring along plenty of water to keep hydrated...

Palm trees line the park's grounds and over the yacht exit/entrance channel.

As I take a view of a corner of the yacht club, I notice small and large privately owned boats going out to sea. 

Some have many aboard while others just one or two.  Sea gulls always are entertaining as they follow the flow of the boats.

After the ferries dock [on either side, of course] and are securely hooked up, then the cars/trucks can disembark safely.  2nd photo is the U S Coast Guard...always on patrol, and always have the right of way.

With the virus cases still at a high level in our county [over 200 new cases daily], I gave up with going to get my hair cut, a leg wax, and pedicure.  And I figured I might as well do my own pedicure after all these months of no where to go to get it worked on safely...finally, a job well done!

§ Laughing Out Loud [At my own jokes?] Is Anybody With Me Here?

If you've followed me within the last couple of years, you know I'm a baseball fan. Sadly, by the way things are going with the talks of the baseball league and the players coming in contact and active cases reported of the coronavirus, it's doubtful there will even BE a season this year. At one time the talks were for a shortened season, but now...nada, zilch, nothing. I wish that weren't true. I love the game, the crack of the ball as it makes contact with the bat...the players enthusiasm, the fans, the home runs, the double plays, close games in score, etc.   I don't even mind the rules being broken and the cheating involved as was the case last year...I can't help but say, "It's been going on long before 2019!!"  Why even now, with day 114 of shelter in place [even tho I do go out for exercise, it's not the same freedom...I feel too confined still], I find myself tuning into FOX Sports on Saturday for their broadcast of Baseball Classic Games [this Saturday it was Astros v. Mets] with the Mets winning the pennant for World Series...in 1986!!!

It's getting bad:

Outside for a short time over the weekend, I watched the birds fight over a worm. The Cardinals lead the Blue Jays 3-1.  If this continues, what'll I do when the Cowboys and Redskins are pitted against each other?  Or is that something far too racial these days? Heck they may be in the same league for all I know...

This morning I saw a neighbor talking to his dog. It was obvious he thought his dog understood him. I came into the house, told Isaiah, our cat...we laughed a lot.

And I'm finding these days I laugh entirely too much over my own posted jokes!!  And I also find it's easy to entertain myself, even tho life is a bit boring right now.  And, honestly, I've got more to share...oh, oh.
