Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[Yuri Bezmenov]

I think I'll just try a whisky. I have 16-yo Lagavulin.

The one thing that sucks about Oregon is that you have to buy liquor from a state licensed store and it's more expensive than Cali.

Last time I bought 16 year Lagavulin in Cali, I think I paid ~$60 for it. Here in Oregon it's almost $100!!

How on earth can you even get that kind of shit past your nose, odeon?

Disgusting.

Odeon might not have any nerves connected to his nose.

I have known a few. My seventeen year old son is one. He can not ever smell anything. He has no sinus issues with which to contend, either. He just has no olfactory sense what so ever.

I actually do have a sense of smell, but I like the fragrances emitted by fine bourbons and whiskeys.

one of the yahoo mechanics across the way tried to pull down the no parking sign near our house.
this so that they can block my driveway without getting a ticket

in so doing, they broke a gate that leads to the railroad tracks. now the gate swings freely and given the wind for the past few days, they cannot park cars there since now the gate will swing and seriously bash them. There is nothing to which the gate can be secured, save some brush put there by the railroad track crews. The gate stays in place for about two minutes and then swings into the road. that's enough time for me to get the car out. the open gate doesn't block traffic, just the driveway.

if they call the city to repair it, the broken sign will be noticed and replaced.

Thanks, but my nose is fine. I can fully enjoy the complex aroma of an aged single malt.

They'll find a way, though.

Glad to hear it.  I like aged single malts, too. I no longer partake, however. A choice I might revisit in due time.

After years of close contact with him, I am sure that my young son will never enjoy the pleasure. He can not smell anything.

On another note, this was actually two weekends ago.

I took some fairly close nature interest shots while out walking in the woods.

Some pics:

First is a wild rose just greening up.

The others are native magnolia just opening, but I caught buds in three stages of development.

@DD

Indeed. Pretty cool images.

The red is beautiful in the pictures.

The PR bowled her highest game yet.  A 165.

Yay for the PR.

  I managed to make two desserts at work in addition to getting my other work done.

  A delicious breakfast is happening right now!  First I had half a sandwich from work (tuna salad
  that I made, loaded with dried onion that rehydrated and filled the tuna with flavor), now I'm eating a
  super-rich chocolate brownie with fudge frosting from the bakery department at my local store.

A bowling partner of the PR cooks her own b'fast when she stays with her Dad.  The last one was 2 sauteed onions and a cup of coffee.  Hey, she was happy.
