Daily Report: Weather. Still.

An uneventful day. It still drizzled and gusted and chilled all morning and afternoon. Finally in the evening the rain died down, but the wind picked up to some pretty forceful gusts. It's still cold: In the low 60s or high 50s, I would guess. (When you own no jacket... not even a wind breaker or a sweatshirt... that's cold.)

The river flooded again too this morning, but not as bad as last time. Still, those poor people down in the village were at least knee-deep in it again. (I was told by Neighbor Dave that this particular riverside village immediately below our house consists of a group of 50 or 60 families who gave up their former collection of properties to some business interest in exchange for a good price and a piece of this riverside location to relocate to. Oops.)

Epril bought Jollibee for lunch. I tried burgers today: I figured I'd go for the flagship burger, sight unseen. Mistake... unless you are a fan of mayonnaise, pineapple, bacon, and cheddar cheese. Well, the bacon and cheese stayed, the pineapple was picked off and made a nice desert. Unfortunately I was stuck with the mayonnaise. For the inexperienced, Jollibee menu selections should be limited to (1) chili dog, hold the cheese (my favorite), (2) the burger steaks with mushroom gravy and rice (surprisingly good), and (3) anything made out of chicken... although the spicy chicken is really quite spicy.

We had no dinner tonight. Our nights are like that sometimes... we just fend for ourselves. It sounds like a callous disregard of the togetherness that mealtime brings to a relationship, but it isn't. Instead, it gives Epril a chance to run out and buy food that I won't eat (like BBQ'd chicken intestines). That fosters happy tummies for all, which creates harmony in a house where disparate food preferences do sometimes lead to friction. (Anyway, I had leftover sweet and sour chicken.) Then, we watched another episode of Heroes on TV, and then went to bed.
