Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
The one that comes to mind is the Colosseum in Rome. It was surreal standing there looking down into the "pit" where the gladiators had their battles, and the Gate of Life where they would file in to fight, and the Gate of Death on the other side where the dead were carried out. I remember standing there and it felt like being transported in time and there was such an incredible heaviness that stayed with me for several days. I've never forgotten that feeling, realizing how much violence took place there.
