Evie Day 130
Happy Monday, if there is such a thing! It is 24 July 2023.
We had a pretty good weekend around here. I need to get an HVAC repair person out to the house to take a look at the air conditioning. We’re not completely heat-soaked here, but I have a feeling that the A/C is struggling to keep up with the heat passing through. At first glance, I see that there is a 33% chance of thunderstorms today, but the expected high is still 98 degrees F/37 degrees C – so no real relief, just higher humidity.
Yesterday was a good day. It was my youngest daughter’s 25th birthday, so we went over to her place to see her, her boyfriend, and our granddaughter, Evelyn. Evie was all smiles, with hints of a chuckle in there every now and then. After a little birthday cake, we went into Baldwin City for dinner. My son got pulled over by the local police – they say he was doing 12 miles over the speed limit, and then one of the officers claimed there was a “fairly strong smell of marijuana” coming from his car. They did a search, found nothing – the officer claimed that my son’s Dungeons and Dragons books were the culprit, combined with the dead skunk odor that wafted through his open sunroof.
Do they teach officers what marijuana actually smells like?
Dane told me that when he was a resident assistant in the dorms, Lawrence police officers trained the RAs on how to recognize the smell of dope in the dorms. Maybe the local constabulary in Baldwin City could get a little help distinguishing the smell of books from cannabis.
Anyway, they let the young man off with a warning. Might’ve had to do with Dane asking where he was speeding, and the officer blowing him off. I can’t say I’m a real fan of the Baldwin City police department.
Anyway, after that little incident, we met my sister and brother-in-law for dinner, then went for a few innings of my nephew’s baseball game. We drove through the country on the way home, just to relax. It was a nice end to a pretty good day.
I’ve got some stuff to do to get ready for my work week. Taking a look at a couple of software packages to integrate into my presentations, and I’ve got an Elgato Stream Deck coming, and that will give me some different automation options during my online deliveries.
Enough! Time to make the coffee.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
