So far all of mt short trips I have made have been fully escorted. Usually Swede is out and about with me. If not him then one of several past students. And I try to drive daily - got to regain my skills and ability!
Saturday, I did one of extremely few adventures by myself -Fred Meyers for some grocery shopping! n nI actually like grocery shopping. I think it is somewhat of carry over of growing up in war Europe when food selection was limited and supplies always low. My children suffer from the same affliction - though in their case it may be a hold over of seeing if food is even available!
I fired up my new car, spritzed trhe windshield to get all of the douglas fir sap off of it! I cruised slowly past mt neighbor's new Dodge Charger. One day, we will see who beats whom! For now he works nights and everyday at 11:15pm, he fires her up to go to work. Vrooom,cvreooom, Vrooom. So. I know he has headers, perhaps a street grind cam, and guessing at no form of intake modifications.
So many park in the handicapped parking spaces, it took me forever to find anything near a door, much less wide enough for me to get out of the car door. And I gat yelled at by a frustrated parker whom felt that I should be limited to just handicapped spots! I just pointed to the four cars witrhout handicap tags, whom had taken ALL of the spots. So he just cussed at me for the entire distance to the store's door. Yup - friendly Seattle!
Traversing the store went well. Twice I had to have help getting something off of the shelves - friendlier people inside the store! But, I was exhausted!
Back home it appeared I was headed for yet another heart attack or perhaps a stoke as my blood pressure soared. At the cardiologists it was 238/178 ... gaaaack! a .1mg Clonidine pill and Kris is still knocked on his butt - three days later!
Might be while before I venture out again ......
