Fluffy Pink Uggs
Looks more like a stuffed animal or blanket that you cuddle with.
Can't believe these are actually to wear on the feet.
Feminine and footwear. ;-)

@Sligo Creek Park
But also (hazy) hot and humid.
Lots of bikers on the trail.
A few squirrels too.
Nice to walk, think, breath, and be. ;-)

@Lake Frank in Summer
Nice stroll around the lake with the family.
A little humidity towards the end turned us back to the parking lot.
But overall, good times for Sunday funday! ;-)

Dog Days of Summer
Just have to watch for passing cars or bikes, so the snoot doesn't get bumped.
Do you know where we're going?
No hon, but it's hot as hell today and I'm sort of down in the dumps.
Just try to enjoy the ride and I'm sure we'll be there soon.
I'm trying, just let me have a little peace and quiet, please! ;-)

Hot Dogs With All The Toppings
My son-in-law, Itzchak, made these for Memorial Day this past week.
OMG, they were soooo good! ;-)

Overpriced Desk Chairs
They had this nothing of a chair called the Harborside for almost $500. I was looking for 2 chairs, so that would've been a whooping $1,000 almost.
After a while on their web page, a chat box came up asking if I needed any help.
It was funny because the guys name was Jake, as in the commercial, "Hi, this is Jake from State Farm!"
Anyway, I must've been annoyed at their ridiculous prices and I had this farce of a dialogue with Jake.
Jake: Hello, We see you are checking out. Can we help in any way?
Me: trying to download a 25% off coupon...can you assist?
Jake: We don't have any coupons or discount codes.
Me: Just overpriced then. {smiley}
Me: Why do you charge so much for such cheap merchandise?
Jake: It's grade A teak which is the highest quality grade you buy but go on.
Me: It's a tree! Why should I pay $1000 for 2 small desk chairs. There is plenty of tweak in the forest for free!
Me: Can you explain?
Jake: *Teak. You're more than welcome to grow your own forest and make these but you'll have to move to a warmer climate. You can educate yourself better with our guide here [and he attached a link].
Me: Hmmm. Would you pay $1000 for thee little wooden chairs.
Me: Also, I'm pretty educated. TY
Jake: Yes, I have 4 on [my grandmother's porch]
Me: You didn't pay $2000 for 4 chairs for your grandmother's porch. NO WAY! I bet you got a big employee discount.
At which point, the chat box quickly bleeped off the screen!
Jake from State Farm...you didn't really buy 4 chairs for your grandmother for $2000 did you??? ;-)

Parachute Running
Sprinting with a parachute on for added resistance.
Add in the hot, humid, summer sun burning down.
And you have yourself a decent exercise routine going on.
Hurry up and slow down.
You run yes, but the parachute says no.
Go! go!! go!!!
You're almost over the finish line. ;-)

Is Beer A Color?
It's titled "Colors".
And it has the typical ones you'd expect: blue, red, green, yellow, orange, purple, black, white, grey, brown, and tan.
But thrown into the mix is beer (and Summer)--maybe these go together!
Perhaps, someone had a little too much beer when asked about colors.
On second thought, maybe beer is a color. ;-)

Swimming In Florida
Hit the swimming pool.
About to do my laps.
I got my gear and ready to rock and roll.
Please G-d, we'll spend the Jewish holiday of Shavuot (commemorating when we got the Torah) together here as a family.
What more can I ask.
Happy and grateful. ;-)

Tie Dye Hammock
It's called "DoubleNest," so I guess that means it fits 2 people.
So open, colorful, and inviting to rest and relax in.
Sillily, the store only carries the hammock and not the stand...so good luck with that.
Also REI clumsily filled this gorgeous hammock with Nalgene bottles--on sale 30% off!
Uh, if you make even the nicest stuff look like junk for storage, you're not gonna get the brand image you want.
Anyway, the hammock was awesome! ;-)

Alligator Govie
In the courtyard (next to the cafeteria) at work, there is a nice seating area open during the Spring/Summer seasons.
Pretty trees, flowers, and a pond.
In the pond, next to the water lilies, there was a what?
Alligator.
Not a full alligator.
But someone put an alligator's head in to make things interesting.
It's nice at work when people are normal and have a sense of humor.
An Alligator Govie that's what it is. ;-)
