Did you see the sleet around lunchtime?

Yep, and again around 6:30.

Today had threat of snow, rain, hail. Missed the tornado, and didn't see any locusts, so for Kentucky that's just three of a kind instead of a straight flush.

You know you're spending too much time at the office when you try to put your house key in your office door.

I put my car key in my house door once. The house started up. So I took it around the block a couple of times.

Found a bargain at Kroger today

No wonder it's a bargain. Those cucumbers have turned orange!

Damned genetic engineering. First it was making pineapples sweeter, now they do this to cucumbers?

Maybe it was a "woke" thing. They can be fairly suggestive. ;)

Cuticumbers.

I love those little suckers. I have 2 net bags of them sitting on the counter from the shopping trip yesterday, and I will need 2 more bags next Monday.

Yesterday I bought some batteries, but they weren't included. So I had to buy them again.

Easy to peel and they taste good. I like normal oranges, but these are much more convenient.

I tipped my waiter.

Current grammar pet peeve: people who throw an extra S on stuff. Like "Aldis" instead of "Aldi," "Meijers" instead of "Meijer." Low-grade annoying.

I agree, BEvan.

How about adding a “the”? Going to “the” Kroger, or going to “the” Meijer?

You know, if you go on the internets, you can find it everywhere these days. Or just to go to Walmarts, it's bad there too.

Kroger’s instead of Kroger still irks me from time to but Publix doesn’t seem to have that problem.

It’s kind of like when someone says they’re at the grocery store. No, you’re at the grocery. It’s the grocer’s store.

I'm guilty of that last one. I'll try to do better.

^Yeah, I'm a "grocery store" guy.

I've also been known to say "ATM Machine" and "PIN Number," so I guess I retract my criticism of all y'all with your promiscuous S use.

At least you don't say Kentucky is a member of the SEC Conference...

Or even better, “Walmarks”. I’ve never figured that one out.

I'm unofficial counsel to a large notary group. I can't tell you how many times I am asked a question about notarizing a "Quick Claim" Deed (it's really a Quitclaim Deed).

WalMarket...
Thant one just has me a chuckling when I hear it around here...

Are we allowed to axe questions?

Anyway, I hate the phrase “past history.”

I also hate Discovery Channel shows that think “crew” and “team” are plural words, e.g. “His team are…”. I think Gold Rush is the main issue now, but Mythbusters use to e.

I wonder if the team thing is a country/translation issue.

Mythbusters was actually produced out of Australia, including the narration as I understand it. They have different narrators btw for different countries. That's obvious for foreign languages but they even do it for English. I Have some of the British released episodes and that guy has an English accent.

Siri has an Australian accent on my phone.

Garden variety t-storms here this afternoon, with some torrential showers.

Hey I see there’s a derby contest.

Looks to be a potential for a sloppy track.

Definitely sloppy for the Oaks.

Going to be in the heart of bourbon country, can’t seem to get out of there without lunch at the Talbott Tavern.

Getting back to Old Guys Talking About The Weather:

Turned on my A/C for the first time yesterday. It's currently warmer (86) here in the Louisville area than it is in central Florida (83).

Ha! Amateur. We've already had the HVAC people out to fix a leak in our A/C.

It's Kentucky. I think at one point I had the heat on downstairs and the air on upstairs, or the other way. And then the next day I think it was off. Then all heat. Then back to air.
