BOY OH BOY!! Summer's here again, and it's only a week into Spring.
When Nancy gets down from Escondido I'll bet we head to the Waffle
Spot. I got to have my Jig Strike Special last Tuesday at the Landing
Grille, next to Seaforth Landing, so it'll be her choice today. Then it'll be Nothing To Do -- and All Day to Do It!!
From Wednesday's U-T San Diego: "Lukasz Szcedanek landed a 17-pound, 8-ounce rainbow trout on Sunday to smash the lake record of 15-4. He used a ball of inflated night crawlers." My question is, "How do you inflate a night crawler -- and how to they feel about it? (I'm going with a basketball pump.)
In yesterday's U-T Diane Bell had a feel-good story of a fireman who found a wallet with $4200 in it atop a gas pump. He turned it in at a police station and the owner's wife sent money for the fireman to take his wife to dinner. I remember a similar story 30 years ago at T. D. Hays Restaurant. My question remains the same: How do you even FOLD a wallet with $4200 in it? I guess that's why it was on top of a gas pump. I also wonder why anyone would carry that much cash, but I have some ideas I won't share.
