Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[Pyraxis]

Took the cub to a corn maze today. It involved a lot of driving country roads through picturesque fall landscapes, with the trees changing colour and copses of birch woods in between slightly rolling farmland. Beautiful cool end-of-summer sunlight and huge skies.

It was yesterday, but I grocery shopped and it didn't kick my butt again, plus no one commented on my food. 

Food comments in the grocery?
Only thoughts I have is seeing so profusely rotund obese people buying "EVEN MORE FOOD?" I keep the thoughts to myself and sometimes rethink my purchase choices.

My daughter is overcome by contact sometimes. It can be rough.

I only shop twice per month. I don't feel like it's all that much but I guess it looks like a lot of stuff to other people and it's a common thing for someone to try to chat me up about the amount of food I'm buying. I purposely shopped every week for over a year because I didn't want to look like a greedy gut food hoarder during the pandemic, but now that I'm shopping less often again I'm also getting comments again. It makes me uncomfortable but I don't think that's their intention or anything. It's just something to talk about. Regardless of where I am it's likely a stranger will start talking to me in the store. I've never been able to figure it out because I'm usually in my own world while shopping and don't even look at other people. I don't know if it's my body language or my general appearance but I couldn't count the number of times I've wondered, what makes me so approachable?

Maybe, wear a sword?    Not sure how, but I exude a "Do Not Dare Approach" vitality naturally. I generally wear a large blade on my belt no matter where I go. I keep my sidearm hidden.

People avoid me. This is good.

Beautiful dry very breezy day.  Took a walk and did my usual trash pickup.  Breezy days make for tricky placing of trash in the bag, while its blowing every which way.  Now for some tea and a snack and watch some football.

Daughter came to visit.

Beautiful day here, as well. Just wonderful, not more than a gentle breeze, very low humidity, high Barometer, brilliant, blue sky with only the most decorative of a cloud or few.

I started a fire.

I have a Dutch Oven pot on its Maiden Voyage, making a version of baked beans and pork.

Don't get me wrong, this Dutch Oven is about four years under my care. It has seen MANY fires, but those were curative and preparational, break in fires. This will be the first time I have cooked food in it.

It has been well cured. I have high hopes for this batch of cowboy beans.

Had record breaking sales at the show I sold at over the weekend

So glad that little girl in WA was found today

Yeah, because so much time went by after her disappearance, everyone thought the worst.

Saw a picture of her in hospital sitting up in bed with an icy pole. She looked really well and happy. I guess it will be a while before we know what happened to her.

She's so adorable

Some strange info coming out about the perp though. He was obsessed with Bratz dolls and had a whole room full of them. I'm getting severe ASD vibes from this bloke

Oh no, not again.

Saw the Troll and the Automaton today... thought I would put my masking skills to use:

Pretending that I didn't see them, yet trying to convince myself to do my usual blank stare.
