One by one the lights of the city block winked out, the dark coming ever closer. “The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming!”

“Jeez Harry, take a chill pill. Those guys came and went a million years ago.”

“No, man, it’s either them or aliens. Pretty soon there’ll be a white light and little green men coming out of a big egg! Ever been probed, Charlie?”

In Harry’s defense he had been using LSD on and off for decades. His mind wasn’t exactly kosher, if you know what I mean. He and I have lived on these streets for years and every time there’s a blackout, he panics. We usually have no problems on nights like this. Everyone fears the streets because there’s no street lights. But we who live here actually enjoy it. It’s a night of not being stared at, cajoled or kicked off a doorway. Gangs stay in their hideouts, and even the cops don’t come out!

“Charlie, I see them!”

“Who is it now, Harry?”

“White figures, coming toward us, can’t you see ’em?”

“It’s just your imagination, Harry. Crawl back under that blanket. It will be morning soon enough and we’ll have to move to the park.”

“Okay, Charlie, you know best. Ya think George’ll be up soon?”

“Sure. Go back to sleep.”

As the sun began to rise, Charlie and Harry shuffled to the back alley of the donut shop and waited for George to feed them.

Daily Prompt: Sympathy

I can’t even sleep! The best birthday present I’ve received in my 74 years! A trip to this park in Colorado where after seven years I can actually enjoy a trail! Woohoo! Here is the vehicle they provide…I’ve always wanted to drive a tank and here’s my chance.

I cannot wait!😀

Well, Harry, did I tell you or did I tell you? This old rig is worthless and now we’re stuck!

Yes you did, Henry, you always tell me. Let’s walk to the highway and hitch a ride. There’s plenty of truckers there.

Truckers? What did I tell you about truckers?

Belly, liquid, rumble

Waiting for the arrival

Of family tonight

I wish I’d satisfied my hunger

And taken an earlier bite

My belly says feed me, starts to grumble

I think I have some wine

In the fridge I’ll take a rumble

Yep, there it sits, red or white your preference

My stomach says it doesn’t make a difference.

So should I open it before everyone arrives

Drinking on an empty stomach surely isn’t wise.

And then there’s grandkids coming. . .😳😎☺️

As birthdays go this is no milestone

But many stones have turned

Since I found the blogging bug

Some new friends I have earned

Stop the puzzle, take a pen

And write your feelings down

Every blogger happy here

Will check in on what you’ve done.

Mr. Bump https://mrbump.uk/2020/09/10/ and I were talking about “Mad World” and I sent him my favorite version of the song, seen on “The Voice” performed by Taylor John Williams. Here’s another of his performances. I love his quiet manner and voice.

I slept in, expecting a grocery order brought by my daughter tonight when they come to celebrate my birthday this week. It’s a fun event with plenty of laughs and hugs. This morning I cleaned the freezer and refrigerator, getting rid of some black frozen bananas I was saving to make banana bread, but let’s face it, it was months ago and nothing tastes the same as it used to. 😏

I might order something supposedly tasty in the groceries, but am usually disappointed at the result. This week I ordered black plums and a watermelon.🤞🏻My orders are once a month so veggie bins etc are empty and sparkling!😌

If you are still reading🙄 I also cleaned the floors. I don’t get the same high as I used to years ago when my house was freshly cleaned. Laugh, but we oldsters used to think that was a fine accomplishment. My kids had jobs to do and did them, not always without a bit of grumbling.

The awesome part of today will be seeing my family. With homeschool back in session and soccer and other busyness, COVID, etc, we don’t see each other that often. 😷

Now for the reeeeel fun part of my day, paying bills.😜 But the sun is shining bright, the temp is 49F and warming all week after snow and freezing on Monday and Tuesday. Have a great day!🥰
