I finally found it, jammed way up under the seat, only to discover that perhaps it could use a bit of repair. Apart from a few broken ribs, the biggest problem was that it would not click open; if you wanted coverage, you had to hold one end and push up on the little slidy thing and hold it there. A bit awkward, especially if you are trying to carry other objects at the same time. Mind you, I'm not complaining about the rain - just making a statement about the condition of my umbrella.
Halloween is getting closer. You can tell because the incidence of panhandlers wearing masks and freight wigs is increasing. Really, would you be inclined to stop and give a buck to some dude wearing a ghoul mask?
And it's not just the panhandlers; the burglars are also getting into the spirit of the holiday. Like the Austin man who police say broke through the roof of a North Austin convenience store while wearing a wolf-like mask. Police say Michael Todd Jones, 48, used a rope and a metal claw-like hook to gain access through the roof of a Chevron convenience store. Jones was seen on surveillance footage dropping into the store shortly after 1 a.m. and then trying to conceal his face with the mask before removing two cases of scratch-off lottery tickets. Unfortunately for Michael, he is not going to get to go trick-or-treating this year.
Stopped at Mimi's for breakfast the other day and ordered Apple-Bacon-Waffles. I guess I should have paid more attention. They brought me a dish with three dinky little baby waffles, each about the size of a silver dollar!
Really? I'm not complaining (well, yes, I really am) but these suckers were barely enough to hold me until I could get to a place that served real breakfast food, like biscuits and gravy, and a couple of breakfast tacos, and oh, throw in a couple orders of bacon, please. There. That's better.
