Well, pardon my foul mouth but —- Crap on a Cracker!!! The milk has turned. Don’t you hate that when it happens? I was all set for a bowl of cereal; had gotten the box out, poured the cereal on the bowl, put my cold milk on it and was anticipating that first bite. Then yuk!!! The milk was sour and I had no back-up plan. And, I hate the taste of sour milk.  Okay, I admit, I did check the expiration date and it said it expired today but that’s not generally a hard and fast rule. And yes, I did smell it first and it did smell maybe a little “iffy”, but it went way past “iffy” in a “Jiffy”. So, I reckon it will be bagel and creamed cheese again this morning. Which when you think about it is weird because what is creamed cheese other than flavored concentrated sour milk????? What a strange morning.

I filled the backyard buffet up again withe the exception of finishing up the sunflower seed holders. I picked up another 80 pounds of seed yesterday afternoon but still need to carry that around to the shed in the backyard. But I had enough left to fill up a couple of the feeders and I got everything else fill with the exception of the safflower which as I said yesterday, I’m out of. I guess I have another stop to make while I’m out today. We changed out the hummingbird food yesterday and the “sweet-bees” are all over it and keeping the hummingbird away from one of them. I wonder what’s up with that. I had the same problem when I was changing it out yesterday. The sweet-bees were flying all around me up and almost into my mouth. That’s the first time we have had that this year. So that is strange. 

Right on time —- 0930 the phone rings with morning robocall from “Breast Cancer” . It never fails. My phone tells me the person or number that is calling so I just let it ring. Too often though it just gives me a number  and it is a local number or a Ft. Branch number and  I feel like I need to answer it because it might be a parishioner and it;s “Amy” or “Karen” from Medicare and they have been trying to get hold of me.  I just hang up. It does no good to try to block them, argue with them, or tell them not to call. It is a  national problem affecting millions of people. AARP magazine just did an article on them this month. They are trying to get you to give them personal information and then they sell that to another crook. Out of the millions of robocalls, they have prosecuted one person. 

We have another business closing up out here on the north side of town. It’s a pizza place and bar and does a great business. However, like so many other places, they can’t get anybody to work. What is going on in this country that people aren’t looking for a job? I really don’t understand it. I hate to use the phrase “When I was a kid” but kids went out and looked for jobs because it was the grownup and adult thing to do. Besides, if you wanted a social life, you better have the money to afford it. Mommy and Daddy didn’t just hand you money. But that was the days before your entire social life was at the end of your thumbs on an IPhone or Tablet. That was before kids had to be enrolled in every sport and and lessons to keep them entertained. New world, new rules, new society I guess. 

Time to go carry some birdseed around to the shed and fill a few more feeders. Then, we need to go to the grocery, finish up decorating cemetery plots, go to the churches to run bulletins and with any luck, get some yard work done today again, And ——- maybe even work in a nap today. 

Have a blessed day. If you are looking for a Beagle dog or two, my backyard neighbor has a couple that are barking their head of for most of the morning; you’re welcome to come get them as far as I’m concerned. LOL  

Peace.
