Monday's Missives

• Heard on the radio during my drive to work, This is JT here on the ride in with you. I love you.
• Somebody made good on a dare (or bet)I suppose  but he is also maybe goofin' on Idiocracy right?
• Today (04/14/217) at Wildberrys in Weatherford I ate a sausage gravy and biscuits omelet with cheese and potatoes. You read that right- there was sausage gravy and biscuits in the omelet.
• It is unlikely anything better will happen to me for the rest of this day. We will see where tomorrow takes us.
• I have no good memories from my marriage but lots of great memories from my last long term relationship. This is so true- I consider the memories from the long term relationship a gift and I am legitimately thankful for them.
• Recently somebody I know, in nearly the same breath lamented their dire financial straits and talked about some new furniture they just financed.
• No they didn't need it- they already had serviceable items of everything they bought.
• Humans are sooooo weird.
• I am sooooo glad- I am from Mars. 

Spark In The Park After Action Report or A Weatherford America Story

• There were too many people engrossed in their phones. Really- it was sad. There were a few teens walking around trying too hard to not look enthralled with the fireworks. They wanted to look too cool to be impressed.
• It was a thrill to see Tommy Alverson but Charlie Robison stole the show- he was great and his guitar player is awesome. He played Star Spangled Banner a la Hedrix (except better). It was the first time I ever heard it played live on a guitar.
• My kids got up on the stage with some others and sang Hey Soul Sister with Sunshine Emery. It did my heart good.
• There were a lot of new babies there.
• Omigosh it was hot and so humid!
• Sheps Place had a food truck there. I have only eaten there once. It was OK- not great but pretty OK.
• Tommy Alverson worked for Miller before becoming a full time musician.
• Maybe they have better things to spend there money on but the crews and performers RVs I saw were old, raggedy looking things.
• I spent a fortune on bottled water which was thankfully only 1.50 a bottle. Cities should formulate a cap for how much is charged at venues- I have seen bottled water at other places priced at 4 or even 5 dollars a bottle.
• So. Wrong.
• Tommy said of Craig Swancy, I always told him if he sold enough amps and guitars he would make something of himself. I didn't know he was going to become a politician.
• Craig is the mayor of Weatherford and owner of a legendary music store here..
• During the finale they played John Wayne (I think) speaking the pledge of allegiance.
• Sometimes I feel like you have to pick moments to hold on to as some day they will be all you have. Last night was one of them. I intend to never forget that nearly perfect time and have a feeling my children will long remember the experience we had July 4th, 2016.

My Second Experience With Rasing Cane's Went Something Like This...

As I drove into the drive thru at the Weatherford location on 07/05/2016 at 2034 a voice screeched out from the speaker, What up!? Hey, hey hey. How about some chicken? I drove off and went to Panda Express. I deal with enough imbiciles on a daily basis for free without having to pay for elongated chicken McNuggets and school cafeteria fries to also have a side order of moron after working 13 hours.
I will never go back.
How was your Tuesday evening?
