Wednesday in Ohio

My day was off to a bad start when I was pulling out of the hotel parking lot this morning. I saw two Canada Geese on the grass on the side of the road, didn't think much of it, until I heard a honking overhead, followed (I swear) with the sensation that someone dropped something on my car.

Someone -- or rather something -- did drop something on my car -- a big load of goose cah-kee. Right on the rear window. I've never seen such a splat. It was huge.

When I got to work, I mentioned it to one of the gang who does maintenance work -- just was laughing about it and he said if I gave him my keys, he'd take a hose to the window and get if off. Here you go, I said. When I got back to my car at the end of  the day, it was gone. The cah-kee, not the car. I am really spoiled when I'm here, and I love it. I really do appreciate it. Just the thought of this splat was making me gag.

I wish I could share photos of the workday, but this company has a policy of no personal mentions in social media... so instead:

This cemetery is about 3 minutes from my client, and I was always curious about it. So I stopped there and took a look.



Ok, so this is out of order. I am intrigued and annoyed by gas prices. As a non-car owner, I don't pay much attentionto gas prices unless I'm traveling. Gas was about 10 cents cheaper in Pennsylvania, and it was 4 cents more expensive this morning. So why was it $3.99/gal this morning and $3.95/gal tonight?




I thought this cemetery was older, but there are many contemporary headstones here, along, of course, with some older ones.




Like this one. I like thinking about a person born in 1852 and the changes Miss Henrietta saw in her lifetime -- cars, airplanes, telephones, so many things.

tomorrow: Same as Wednesday. I'll have to find another diversion for pictures.
