In New Jerky it was a cool $5 a day period. No Gas, plenty of crummy coffee and NOTHING but torture waiting for everything. At that time I was a high energy go-getter mover and shaker with no time for foolishness.

Times have changed, now I'm low energy, I hardly get anything at all the first time. My usual response to everything is Huh, Excuse Me, Repeat, please! I also have time and now the patience for all the foolishness that could be flung my way. It's all good, I'm the most grateful person just to be alive with Mrs. Nucky and to be living here.

I feel so bad for our friends in the Colder part of the country right now. When it's this bad I don't even want to tease them about how good we have it in Good Old Florida.

I like it a whole lot more when we know each other are Okey Dokey! Patience and Faith come in when we're worried about one of our pals. Look a few weeks ago we were beside ourselves and ready to jump because we couldn't find Tal. Remember? All it was was a lack of Corpuscles! Kidding! Just a Dopey Modem was the problem.
