I gave Linda a hug when I popped by on the way to the Lady Lake Public Library.
I have been donating at a One Blood facility or when it was called Florida Blood Center's since 2007 and Linda was there.
I have done 11 platelet donations since 12-14-2015 so it is time to work on getting the iron count down.
It must have been some retirement party.
I was walking by accompanied by Charlie while looking for Linda and peaked into the donation room and saw what looked like someone being mooned. Kind of the general tone of the nation perhaps? Not sure if the moon was shown at me or at someone else in the room.
They must have been having fun though if they are reliving their wild college, high school and junior high school days. Last time I was mooned was by a fellow 5th grader Kathy Davis in Reno, Nevada in 1971 or so. My re-action both times has been kind of mild shock mainly because it seemed so out-of-place both times. Kathy Davis was on top of the roof of one of our elementary school buildings while I rode around the buildings on a bicycle. A complete surprise to me and a rather ugly eyeful. Same with yesterday. Out-of-place and quite a surprise.
I know some doctors and nurses as well as phlebotomists are very earthy but....
