What are you doing right now??

Bet most Americans, let alone the folks its meant for, have no clue what the word or day means

Forgive me and my warped brain.

This was the week prior to Juneteenth, and about 200 inmates in the state prison decided to riot because they didn't get fried chicken and watermelon for chow. I was dispatched to the prison because shots were fired by the staff. They discharged four rounds of 7 1/2 bird shot at 20yds and put 2 in ICU and hit 15 more in the extremities. So yeah , I remember what the week meant... A really long *** day and a bunch of interviews and paperwork.

So please forgive my laughing at this time...

What holiday?

My dad passed away 13 years ago today. He is probably not happy with this holiday. On another note was going to Walmart and I blinked my eyes and had a bright flash. Now I have these floaters in my left eye. Looks like the Milky way when looking thru them. Trying to have an eye doctor give me a call back so I can be seen. Not painful but a real distraction. This getting old is for the birds!

I thought Midway would have been closed by now. It was a scary place 30 years ago went I went thru it.

I hate going through or to Chicago, Midway or O'Hare. Seems like every time I went there they lost my bags or when passing through the flight got delayed or canceled.

Had a routine eye exam last week.
When asked if i had anything to discuss, I told dr I had a small black floater in left eye that I could see go up/down occasionally. Dr said yes, i do have a floater. Dr could see it. Explained eyes do that as they age.
And said the usual..” getting old sucks”.
Did say over time the brain blocks it out. Thats kinda whats happening to me. I tarely pick up on it unless I “look” for it

I freaked out the first time I ever experienced a "floater" in my eye. Now it's no big deal unless it is a bigger one, and I try to chase it like a cat going after a laser dot!
