I had a wonderful run last night, the air was cool, the moon a slight orange hung brightly in the night sky and shone down illuminating the track. My daughter and her dog Lucy (named for the Beatles song, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds) accompanied me to the track like they do on most evenings. As I was running I kept hearing a bumping sound in the stands on the visitors' side. I'd always look over, but never saw anything. After finishing the two miles, the three of us were walking a cool down lap before leaving the track. As we traversed, I peered into the bleachers on the visitors side and saw what I thought to be a grey cat. I adore grey cats. Sparky, our Russian Blue died mysteriously this year and we've missed him terribly. We approached the said cat, but to our amazement found out it was a grey fox! The little grey fox scampered away. The night before I witnessed a skunk nosing around the edge of the fence line, and now this little fox. I'm sharing my nightly run with some interesting fellows.
After the run, we always stop at Allsups. I get Annie a bag of Lay's Limon chips. Those are her favorite and she confesses that she's quite addicted to them. This night was no different, we stopped at Allsups. I usually pay $1.29 for a small bag of the Limon chips. Just the other day, Annie asked me how many servings were in the bag, we took a look and there were three. So, that means we're paying about $.43 per serving. Tonight when I grabbed a bag, it didn't feel the same. I looked at the bag of Limon chips, put that one down, picked up another, but it felt lighter as well. I looked at the price...$.99. Hmm...then I looked at the serving size...ONE serving! Before, I was paying $.43 per serving and now I'm paying $.99 per serving!
My credit card interest rate increases without warning and now the price I pay per serving for Limon chips increases without warning...what next?
Who says over 40 is over the hill? I enjoy listening to great music from all decades and genres, walking hand in hand with the one I love and nurturing the two smartest funnest kids ever! Although I'm not a native of West Texas, I've been here long enough to know the drill. HOT, WINDY and DESOLATE! So, that's why you'll find me and the kids heading out to some of our favorite hangs out...these places would include mild temperatures, mild winds and lush landscapes! I stick around because one day I'm hoping the Permian Basin will be underwater once again, and then I'll have beach front property! :D
