sky stripes

Long ones over Lion Country Safari most days.  Little short straight ones over hypo XL now, and a little southeast of here yesterday.

single remnant south of Boynton Beach Road and Military, headed east to west

sky stripes

Back and forth over Lion Country 2 days ago. Last night, big double stream south of Boynton headed up, north to south

petting zoo

I know we're cut off from our food supply and we have romantic versions of animals in our heads. So don't want to kill the animals, and we don't want the animals to eat other animals, but we eat meat all the time.  But when people actually walk toward a petting zoo they're terrified. And it's not just the babies. I don't understand why a baby wouldn't actually want to go up to an animal that sees, especially if the animals just sitting there but this is the state we are in. I understand not wanting to be around the poop or the smelly animal but these people are genuinely scared.  The smell didn't bother me after 10 minutes.  Farmer in my blood.

upon further reflection

When this couple looked at me dumbfounded, and showed no facial recognition that they knew what I was talking about, I believe they were lying. They acted like they'd never heard of a monster under the bed, as if children running across the room and jumping in bed to keep them safe from imaginary monsters underneath the bed was something they had never heard. This has to be a lie. Is it not also a common belief of children, that as long as they have covers around them that they are safe, but if they come out from underneath the covers something can get them? Now that I know they talk about each family member behind our backs...and why would I think that they wouldn't, since everybody does this, but I just never thought of it before, this is their way of showing how illogical I am. But everyone knows that children do this. Don't they? Me saying that children do this does not make me illogical. Because children do this. No?  

sausage biscuit

Is 10 cents cheaper than a plain biscuit

McDonald's Wi-Fi refurb continued

Yesterday, no Wi-Fi at the Greenacres studio Sherwood Forest McDonald's, and today no McDonald's Wi-Fi at the river bridge Forest Hill jog McDonald's. Unrelatedly, there's the cutest dog with his nose almost stuck out of the window at the drive-through. It's clear that he's been told to stay seated, yeah is enjoying every minute of his nose activity. What a good boy.

three songs that I was really glad to hear lately.

Just the voice of Lou Rawls, Blondie's Rapture, Superstition by Stevie Wonder

sky stripes

Several undeniable ones, north of Lake Worth Road West of Military Trail

maybe connectivity

Now, the McDonald's Wi-Fi is on and I think for the first time the access to landing page is available from the list of available Wi-Fi networks. I've noticed this with other Wi-Fi networks but I don't think I've noticed it with McDonald's before. So maybe that's what they were doing, updating to get to the landing page before being able to use the internet. It's so annoying when it says it's connected, but no landing page shows up, so it's connected but it's unusable.  Maybe that's what they were working on to avoid in the future.  I'm fascinated by which apps work under which conditions. Text won't go through, sometimes Facebook won't connect very much, sometimes and so forth and it doesn't seem to always be when it's connected to Wi-Fi and when it's not.

the McDonald's app

Tells me that the restaurant is closed, so they can't take the coupon through The mobile app. However the gentleman at the register knows my name and what I ordered. I did not give him my name. But it is on the app and maybe the credit card well, of course it's on the credit card. They know their Wi-Fi is down. But it tells me it didn't work but it did work.

next to the new dairy Queen

Is a old out of business restaurant the same exact shape, for sale.  Makes me think that someone has figured out that building a good restaurant, is cheaper and the long run than taking over or referring one.  Energy bills? Configuration for fast service? I'm very interested in this topic. I think McDonald's with counters and lots of different levels for seating, some high tops etc creating little nooks and discussion areas are so inviting. and every public building needs to have more than one pooper. Per gender. McDonald's especially, used to have clean bathrooms and people would go in there to use the bathroom. And they should capitalize on that by having dollar treats readily advertised. So many of them are right next to highways. in so many of us need the bathroom so often because we eat too much. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, why don't they take advantage of it?  kids are happy at McDonald's. How nice to let them walk in and choose whether they want to sit at a bar stool, or whether they want to sit in the corner or at a big table or a little table.

Big sky stripe

Close close enough for me to see the dual strands of cloud that it's emtting, the plane is going from a lower altitude to a higher altitude, and Southeast to Northwest in a huge stripe. I see more stripe remnants to the north, going east and west

also

The one or two times it told the driver to stop and get some coffee! It was like a rocket ship or something.

memory

A series of unfortunate events has brought me to driving a wonderful rental car. whenever I sloppily change the lanes or drive towards the left or the right of the lane it beeps, reminding me of Leslie's paranoid starts when I was driving from Disney.

sky stripes

Added to the north south and East-West stripes, are Criss crosses, actual EX's in the sky of low altitude.  South of gateway and east of 95.

sky stripes

Several remnants currently, and the plane low enough for me to see both streams.  It started out a tiny bit south of me in Boynton, pretty much overhead, close to 95, heading north, obviously pretty low.

sky stripes all

Clear Blue sky about 9:45 this morning with a single plane putting double stripes in the sky, and lots of perfectly drawn stripe clouds in evidence.  The plane seemed to be south of Delray heading southward and upward and the stripes were mainly going north and south and were a little north of Boynton.

covid

I'm sorry, we've changed our hours, I guess because the germ has the hours too?

sky stripes

Right over Wellington High School last night about five, and Criss crossing across the sky doing vertical stripes heafed east and west.

because of covid

They will bring the rental car to me, but not the same day as I call.  I guess, if they warn the germs then the germs can't get there fast enough? I'm not sure.

McDonald's used to wipe off all the tables, now they close off whole sections because apparently having one person in each section is more work or more dangerous?

sky

Sky stripes busy going north and south west of 441 on Lake Worth Road

skystripes

2 lines, parallel, pretty far west of Congress, a little north of Lantana Road.  Atlanta dispersing other things, but if I hadn't seen those lines I might have thought they were natural.
