WHEW!!!!!!! All guests are gone and time to get back to reality...Two weeks of visitors, drop ins and food, drink and merriment...It was fun but I'm feeling it.....getting old.....here goes....

1. Have you ever gone to Opening Day at a MLB game?
I have not. Never lived anywhere near enough.

2. Ever coach a Little League team?
Nope

3. Have you gone to Major League game this season or plan to?
Would like to but they don't sell stinky cheese to snack on and their beer is not cheap.

4. What was your last experience with automated customer service? Good bad or ugly?
It was good until the machine laughed at me for being broke.

5. Rick will be late for work. Overslept.

6. Tums or Rolaids
Neither. Have a cast iron stomach. Well except for the spot where my ulcer is located.

7. Do you ever fill out surveys for free stuff ie.give them your feedback in lieu of a $5gift card or percentage off?
I don't. Have no need for a bunch of cheap junk that required me to give out all sorts of personal data

8. How much change is in your car console or cup holder?
2 wheat pennies.

9. When was the last time you drove on a toll road?
Does it count as a toll road if I blew thru the toll booth without stopping to pay?

10. Did you wear your seat belt even when it was an option not to?
I do. Maybe once a year I forget to put it on. It was just my luck that the time a kid ran a red light and totaled my truck with me in it was the one time for the year that I did not have my seatbelt on. Fortunately it was a side impact. If it had been head on C-D would not have some fool that goes by "Alaskan Mutt" posting.

11. Happy Stinky Cheese Day

12. All over the Internet are stories of people leaving notes on their receipts regarding restaurant service, good or bad...Ever leave a note?
I never have anything to write with. If the service is up to par I leave a tip. If the service is even better I leave a big tip. If the service is poor no tip gets left. If the service is real poor i leave a penny

13. Is your town relatively clean or do people throw things along the roadside leaving a mess?
Actually fairly clean. It appears a lot of people have promised the judge they would never be bad again if they did not get sent to jail and just have to serve some community service. I see these people picking up trash all the time.

14. Little chance of getting me to eat yucky veggies.

15. Do you have bottle return in your state? If not, do you wish you did?
We do not. I probably should be more into recycling but the last time I took a bunch of cans to the recycle center I got ten dollars for them. It then only cost me twenty dollars to get the two flat tires I got going there fixed.

16. In light of this Fit Bit craze, do you find people constantly letting you know how many steps THEY have taken or have to take that day?
Those kind of people are not a problem for me. All I do is blow some stinky cheese breath on them and they take a bunch more steps in a hurry.

Best Answer last week....Thanks Laura C......
Have you ever slept in your car at a rest stop?

Obviously, you don't watch horror movies.
C'mon, the guy with the axe. The rest stop rapist. The rest stop abductor. The flying monster that swoops down and grabs your car while you sleep in it. The aliens who beam you out of your car at the rest stop because it's easier (and darker) than snatching you out of your bed. The mysterious big rig driver who follows you after you leave the rest stop and tries to run you off the road. The snipers/terrorists who always stop at a rest stop to get some sleep, then take your car and shoot you. The gang of drunk 18 year olds who show up and torment you...before they go camping and die one by one.

It's going to be 80 today...get out the sunscreen!!!!!! Have a great week!!!!!
