After 24 days of visiting friends and family in Wisconsin, Iowa, Washington, and Wyoming, I am finally back in Texas. I got back here on Friday night.
My first priority was to get my car inspected on Saturday as it (the inspection) was 1 1/2 years past due. It didn't pass the emissions test so my next priority was to get the catalytic converter fixed. I did that on Monday morning. I was told I needed to drive it 40 miles to reset something. Three days later I have only managed to drive 27 miles. I will need to get it on the road so I can get back to the inspector tomorrow.
My other first priority was to clean house. It needs a cleaning pretty bad after two and a half years. I spend the mornings cleaning, have lunch, take a nap and read or come to the library to get on the internet. I have discovered AT&T doesn't have DSL in my area. Cable is too expensive. So I am spending my online time at the library. In the evenings I watch TV. Not much has changed as far as TV programs. They are mostly the same as when I left in 2006. So guess what....life here is pretty boring so far. I have made some luncheon dates with friends though, so that hopefully will liven things up. Ha,ha.
I watched Obama's 30 minute infomercial last night and it was very impressive. There is sure a lot of money involved in the election process. I keep wondering if it could be put to better use!
Most of the political commercials are pretty negative and even those that aren't don't say much about the candidate's visions. Wyoming had the worst political commercials I have ever seen. But that may be because I didn't see things the way they do there. There were a lot mentioning gun control---who was going to ruin the state because he or she was for it. I just didn't think that was the most important cause in the world, but I guess it is in Wyoming.
Well, enough of that. Let's just hope that the country elects people who will get us going on more important issues.
