So we went to the beach this morning. Spent half a day in the sun. Went out for lunch on the way home. Had 3 beers. Got home, spent the afternoon in the pool. Got to looking at the beer supply a few minutes ago and it wasn't promising. Just ordered beer to be delivered and used some free promotional deal. Will cancel the free month deal once they deliver the beer. Also ordered Chinese food for delivery. A guy would have to be an idiot to get a DUI in the city. Stay home, drink, eat, pay people to bring you food and alcohol

I've used Ubers quite a few times when visiting friends in the city. Kicks ass! Can't do that where I live.

Food and alcohol got delivered. I had tipped the food provider online. No such option for the the alcohol provider. Had a bunch of ones in my hand and the gal delivering the alcohol didn't even look. Maybe they're trained to not accept tips...no idea.

I know one thing. Uber driver in Nashville had never driven on 3 inches sleet/snow/ice. He got stuck on a hill and had to turn around. No 4WD.
Comical really and we only had to go one mile. He said he was going home after that 😊

I've got a great story about a late night taxi ride in Tulsa that ended up with 2 flat tires (bent both rims), getting flashed a gun by the taxi driver (who spoke almost no English), and a ride to my buddies house in an unmarked personal car called in by the guy who flashed his gun at us.

We could not get out of Nashville airport so we rented a car and drove to Atlanta. Then we went out to eat at the bar across from the Marriot in Atlanta... and walked into an all black bar that was basically a night club. So many laughs. We felt like Steve Martin and John Candy in Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
Note to self...do not travel to Nashville when there is a a chance of ice or snow!!

Lot of great episodes of cops filmed in Tulsa.

City living offers some advantages, but it also has plenty of disadvantages. I am sick of listening to leaf blowers, lawn mowers, weed whackers, neighbor kids, and traffic. I'm not cut out for living in a city.
We head home tomorrow. I've been ready to leave for a couple days. Two weeks next year is going to be a challenge. I do not envision a month long vacation anytime in the relative near future.

That’s Funny! I have been here 14 weeks and it has flown by. You have been doing lots of remodeling and other work. Will it be different when those projects are all done?

If I had some work to do every day, it would be a different deal. I don't...so it isn't. Even then, there'd still be all the city noises. The fucker next door is using his leaf blower again. There are no leaves...I think he's just out there to get away from his wife. If we stay here for a month or more in the future, I'm pretty sure it'll be inland somewhere. A place on a lake or on a few acres in the country. Next year, I'm trying to talk the wife into staying one week on the beach and one week a few miles away at a place with a pool. I'm thinking a change of scenery will help me not go nuts.
