After The Storm

We had a bad Snow storm on Sunday November the 25^th. I didn’t go anywhere. I set up my camera and stuck it out my balcony door. You can see all the snow in this video.

We got about 7 inches of snow. By the next day the roads had been plowed so I went to my exercise class. When I was through, I walked outside and looked over and saw the trees covered with snow after the snow storm we had the night before. It was getting dark outside. Luckily I had my camera with me. So I thought I would try and see if I could get a picture of it. I took it back to my apartment and did some editing in my computer using some photo editing software. I was surprised how good it turned out when I got through with the photo.

My Cell Phone Got Hot

    I was driving on my way home from the casino when I felt my cell phone start to get hot in my top pocket. For some reason when I get in my car my car automatically turns my cell phone on to Android Auto. It was burning my chest so I reached into my top pocket so I could turn it off again. With all the other stuff I had in my top pocket I had trouble getting my phone out. As I was driving and trying to get my phone, I got pissed and said out loud to myself, “What the Fuck.” All of a sudden a woman’s voice came through my car speakers and said, “I’m sorry you feel way.” I didn’t know what just happened. My phone must have picked up my swearing and someone answered. Stupid phone, I can’t even swear in private without someone listening.   

THE HALLMARK CHANNEL

THE HALLMARK CHANNEL

I have been sitting here in this one bedroom apartment for the last 33 years watching TV all by myself. There is nothing else to do. I turned the channel on the TV.

Have you ever watched the Hallmark Channel? You know the one with all the Christmas movies on.

 Do you notice that everyone is young and they are always happy and in love. Nothing ever goes wrong, well maybe an ornament might get broken or some such trivial thing. 

 It’s a perfect world where everybody is rich and they all have the perfect job. They have gorgeous homes and it’s always in a quaint little town somewhere where the snow is falling and all the people in the town are perfect, helping each other out and smiling.

 As I sat there watching, I wondered, “How the fuck did I miss out on that? Are there really people and quaint little towns like that?” 

 It really doesn’t matter anymore anyway. I’m 73 years old and not young anymore. I wonder what it feels like to be in love again and have family all around. No matter. Even if I did meet someone, I wouldn’t have any money to keep both of us alive. The food panty is my favorite place to go to now-a-days. 

 I have no plans on dying anytime soon. In fact I want to live to be a 100.  That’s my goal. I just wish I could be young and live in a quaint little town with money in one pocket and a lovely girl in the other.
