Who deserves a hug this week? The in-unit service guy at the condo, we put in a request to replace the float valve in a toilet, he showed up within a couple of hours, looked and said, all this needs is an adjustment, 30 second later it was working perfectly. He knew what knob to twist in what direction and rather than a $100 replacement, it was a $25 house call.
Who deserves a slap this week? The fascists in Florida - lots of them.
A week in the life. Always refreshing. I'll add my slaps to the Florida fascists.
ReplyDeleteIt was kind of a quiet week.
DeleteI don't understand Florida. There are a lot of wealthy retirees, gays, tourists and Cubans. Mix that all together and you get someone like DeSantis.
ReplyDeleteFlorida politics have really gotten ugly,
DeleteWhat a great, happy photo!
ReplyDeleteThe top down always puts a smile on my face.
DeleteIt pretty safe to say the fascist in Florida need a slap just about daily.
ReplyDeleteOn my no fly list
DeleteTop down season happens very quickly in the AZ desert. Blink and you might miss it.
ReplyDeleteI have one memorable afternoon, with the top down and getting stuck in stop and go traffic when it was near 100 degrees.
DeleteI would love a ride with the top down, but my top doesn't do that. 😢
ReplyDeleteFlorida deserves much more than a slap.
It is never too late
DeleteJust add "The Secret Life of Groceries" to my goodread list.
ReplyDeleteAll fascist needs a good swift kick.
Coffee is on, and stay safe.
It is more about the food industry than food. Well written, a little academic.
