Back when I ate hot dogs, I discovered Hebrew National and they are definitely much better than most of the franks on the market.  I never had Nathans.  I can't imagine eating one, let alone 50+, and I tend to eat slowly, so if this were a marathon, I'd still be there several days later, nibbling on my 4th or 5th.  It's good to know one's limits.

Might as well come out with it: tomorrow I get an extremely cheap travel pass.

Absolutely don't like the fact!
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

Heh. You OLD!

Still get taken for TNG's brother. I think that might say more about his lack of shaving than my youthful looks.

Happy birthday!

Savouring my last hour of what's termed an "adult". After which, I become something else which is slightly more nondescript.

Many thanks.

This is basically the bottom of my road:

Scary stuff alright. The world is such a desperate place right now.

So had about 3 hrs sleep post night shift due to things being arranged for me.
Kicked a parcel laying around bruising big toe and adjacent toe  :-[
Went for a run and bit by a dog ( have met before and owner states  "it just barks at dog and is friendly" then it bit my hand cutting my Fav running gloves and middle finger. Clearly stated to her to muzzle the dog but the usual  blah blah blah was returned to me. ???

But number 1 son coming home from his base and daughter arriving back from Disney Florida (her 3rd visit this year I think) for her birthday, A pleasure to see both again but the bank account will be emptied.  ;D ;D

I turn 59 (60 in pension years) soon and well I dont know what the hell to think about it except, I hope everyone is at work TBH so no fuss 8)

I'd be more worried about my middle finger. It's an essential tool for putting pesky Jag drivers in their place - especially when they belittle my quoshquosh.

Hopefully the dog is current on rabies shots.  But infection is a risk so I'd ask my nurse wife about it.  I hate people who refuse to take responsibility for their dogs.  I love dogs but the people who own them are awful sometimes.

Unfortunately I suffer from very cold hands and arthritis, even in the hottest summers we have  in the UK  ;D ;D I wear gloves  (not Wooley gloves I hasten to add).

The gloves are old and well worn but still usable.

Rabies is no longer a "thing" in the UK. Ex boss was bitten by a monkey and had to take Rabies shots when he came home for over a year ( or similar) and the trouble he had obtaining the shots was a concern, even from The Royal Liverpool University Hospital.
People should take more resposibility for their dogs, If I had been a child then  :o :o

quoshquoshes were made to be belittled by Jaguar drivers. It says so somewhere in the Highway Code.
