Today, just factoids.
This ol' "has been journalist" is in a hurry to get to the couch and grab the remote to keep up on current events.
This morning, millions will be watching (we hope anyway) a public hearing which I think of as:
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
about
lies, lies and more lies.
It should be interesting.
On the home factoid front, Bill has added a first to his lifetime achievements: first trip through a Starbucks Drive-Thru.
He just watched yesterday while I ordered a medium cup of Americano---black please.
So now, when the day comes that he's up and driving on his own, maybe he'll do a drive thru and order some hot brew himself.
Yesterday marked another first for Bill in his life as "the rehab man."
He exited the pickup and walked and rolled through two doors into a Mexican Restaurant in Newport yesterday.
We enjoyed a nice late afternoon meal.
That achievement occurred after we drove, on yet another gorgeous winter day, up the east side of the Pend Oreille River to one of my old stomping grounds----Usk.
Guess what fruit they grow in Usk!!!!
USKMELONS!!!
You can ask my dear friend Chris Moon for a few more "Usk" jokes cuz while doing two-day, 12-hour-long traffic surveys along the Flowery Trail (which now leads to 49 Degrees North Ski Area), we had plenty of time to come up with Usk jokes.
So, I felt a bit of nostalgia, driving across the river and through Usk, for the good ol' days of nearly 50 years ago when we worked as survey aides for the U.S. Forest Service engineers.
Other news: what kind of fruit is off to a good start in Marianne's indoor garden plot???
Shiraz's Sun Gold Tomatoes. Can't wait until summer to pop a few in my mouth every day.
Anyway, enjoy the photos while I go seek one of the most important ingredients on this earth: truth.
Happy Wednesday.
