Random Thoughts the 13th: Jason Takes RTT

[ImJustKCClone]

In clear Lake for the parade, any other RTTers can swing by and say hi if they want.

We took our grandkids to the Ames parade a couple of years back. Big mistake. People were out there hours before-hand. We had four little girls with us, and had a long walk from parking to the route, only to be behind 3 layers of people standing up. The only kids who could see anything were the two youngest, because my son & Lew had them up on their shoulders.

I'm just not willing to go sit on a curb for several hours to have a good POV for a small town parade. And I hate crowds, so I'll probably never go to DC or the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. Guess I'm a grinch.

Looks like someone hates America.

Signed,
Going to see Spidey instead.

Parades generally suck.

Macy's is only good if they end up with a rogue balloon in the wind. Back in the day, when only rich people had the first color TVs, we'd end up at friends of the parents to watch a New Year's Day parade (Rose Bowl?) in color. Big deal than because we only had B&W. Was still boring to Little Boxster.

Doorbell just rang. Peaked out to see who it was (I don't have a fancy camera thingie). Some middle aged dude in shirt and tie carrying some book and chewing gum. Didn't feel like it's someone here to invite me to a 4th of July picnic. Did not answer the door, **** off, dude.

Had the Witnesses show up to my first house. Was nice to the guy. He kept trying to get in saying his grandfather lived there when he was a kid.

Well the guy kept showing up and trying to get in. It got to the point where he would see me and I had to just ignore the knocking.

Even being rude didn't get the guy to stop trying

I only answer the door when I have to.

And the sun, it be gone again cause summer 2019. Was out and shining for most of the morning so there is that.

Sprinkling. Should probably mow anyway since it's likely as dry as it will be till next week.

If I like the wait staff I'll tip them out so they get theirs. Other wise I pay when I'm done.

This was 10min into me coming in and I had ordered one beer so far. She acted really offended that I said keep it going. "Come on its just a beer"... I eventually closed it and tipped her 9 cents (rounded up). Felt like a little bit of an ******* but the whole thing was ridiculous.

I understand if I've been there for an hour or whatever but I don't close out after one beer.

Have seen a couple Corgis at the dog park in Marion, made me think of Riley, and now I kind of want one.

Now you are hanging around CR too?

Also I believe I found @Rabbuk on Reddit. It helps that his name is the same both places.

I never got used to them.

They start to feel different after you've been in a few. Rolling. Jolt. Anything under 4.0 is like a Disneyland ride

So, our answer is that the movie is pretty much too intense for our kiddo.
She had some fun, had some not fun, and survived, but it was not her cup of tea.

We are both from Jones County. So when we go home we drive right by Marion. The dog park we go to always has lots of dogs and people and they can just run.

Sitting in a car wash in Algona. Some rain, can hear a little thunder. Menacing clouds and the wind keeps picking up and dying. Radar looks bad. Trying to decide if I should just haul ass back to the hotel in Humboldt.
