Yum!!

Having lived in the South, three separate times, I have grown to like a lot of different kinds of BBQ. And I will say that Smokin’ Pete’s was pretty good. I got a mixed plate of pulled pork and ribs plus the two sides – beans and macaroni and cheese. Everything was good. They had two or three different sauces one could put on things as well. I am so looking forward to my dinner tonight – leftovers!

Today was another quiet day. Well, except for the few hours of cowbells. My house sits at a place where runners from the triathlon pass by twice. There are always well wishers out ringing the cowbell and offering beverages. Lots of other sounds of encouragement as well. Yay.

What I meant was, that I had a quiet day of limited activity. I spent a lot of time listening to DCC and adding things to my “Augustus for President” document. Like re-reading the declaration of independence and the constitution. I read them both long ago when I took US history at Andover. Speaking of which, I am a little surprised that even Andover stopped making Civics a mandatory subject for graduation. I would love to push for that to be reinstated. And maybe have a copy of both documents in every classroom. With QR codes and such. Maybe VR ready. Who knows. Anyway…

I also had a chat with my lovely sister. Her advice to me was to run for city council or school board. Both fine offices for people who want to run for them. I have no interest in either. Who knows, though, maybe after my run for the White House, if it should not succeed (heaven forbid) I might look for some other office. Probably not because I will, by that time, be in my later 60s and really wouldn’t want to expend my energies in trying to achieve some lesser position. She did have some thoughts about things I might be able to try and fix when I got elected. I really hope that she will vote for me if the chance arises.

I also did my Sunday chores – laundry, shower and sheet change! I think I will put the trash out tonight. I wonder how my balance is with the trash company…I ought to have looked when I did monthly accounts earlier in the week. I have added it to my spreadsheet so I will think to look every month from now on.

My next weekend is going to be interesting, I think. I am headed to my first “powwow.” I’ve always wanted to go to one and this will be my chance. The entry fee is really inexpensive, so that’s a good thing. It is a couple of hours away, which isn’t so great – but I will be driving the Tesla and I will have a good book to listen to! I might be at DCC 6 by then maybe. (I am at DCC #4 right now) It doesn’t look like there are evening activities. I guess I will find out. There is an activity Friday evening before the powwow – which I might end up attending if nothing comes up before then. Have you ever been to a “powwow?”
