pizza adventures

Cyn and I went down to the Tasting Room to see a close personal acquaintance play. On the way down there I was thinking I would probably be hungry later, and might have to buy one of those frozen bar pizzas.

By Les' second set, the place had quite a few people. At one point I could smell pizza. Les (from the stage) said "pizza's here!" Pretty soon, a pizza delivery guy came over to a nearby table, "did you guys order this pizza?" It was clear that nobody was speaking up. One guy near me said, "Anybody want to go in on it with me? I'll throw in five bucks." I said I'd buy a piece form him. Anonther guy gave him five bucks. I decided, "what the hell," and gave him five. I figured I could be nice and furnish a little food for some of Les' fans. I kinda new some of them anyway. So this guy gave him fifteen plus $1 tip.

He handed the pizza around. It was cold. Not ice cold, but definitely room temperature. I'm thinking that he couldn't deliver it and had it in his car for the last hour trying to get rid of it. The guy who talked us into buying it was more suspicious than that. He was thinking this guy was a dumpster diver. He actually called Papa John's to ask. The woman he talked to there said that a homeless guy (matching this man's description) came in early in the day and asked for some food. So they gave him an old pizza that had been sitting around for a while.

But the guy had a uniform!

Holy cow!

It is over 70 degrees out there!

Total shock.

Those white and purple crocuses have blossoms in bunches on each plant. The deep purple ones are huge. The yellow ones are just brilliant. The dwarf irises are blooming. The day lilies, classic irises and tulips are growing. The hyacinths are finally peeking above the soil. The snowdrop bulbs must have been duds, since they are usually the first things up. Pisses me off since It was a lot of work to put them in amongst the hosta roots.

holy cow, part 2

Current Weather: 81º. Winds: 30mph, gusting to 45.

Okay, I know some of you have recently experienced much stronger winds, but around here, this is about as bad as it ever gets. And they're pretty damn annoying. I was going to go out and rake my lawn, since it is so warm, but I guess I won't bother.
