it is almost  per cap time. indian christmas. wont find some at work that day. or maybe the next day either. things will be  back to normal in a few days after everyone taps out. then some will miss work for some other reason.  its a nice windfall but it dont last long. its a welcome diversion when it comes.

it is getting near time to pick paw paws. there are a lot of them growing in the timber down by the crick where i live.  i  can get my fill in just a few. i think they are an acquired taste, kinda rich for me. i pick them occasionally. potawatomis  ate paw paws when we still lived up north. they found them growing here too.

went to the farmers market yesterday. was looking for some peaches. i found some locally grown ones there before. the old guy that sold them wasnt there. there was a kid there playing a violin trying to raise money for a trip to greece. i dropped a buck in the jar. i remember back in my hippie days when i used to prowl the streets. i would always stop and listen to street musicians. if i had any change i would drop it in the hat. even if i couldnt afford it. i thought it brought me good luck.  got my kids doing that now. we would do that on trips we took.

that big thud yesterday was everyone jumping back onto the k u bandwagon. i know i am on it. after i got home from the farmers market i tuned in the football game. i was surprised to see k u was beating either 15th or 17th ranked georgia. i texted my son and told him. he tuned in also. i almost thought the hawks were gonna blow the game but they pulled it out. now our coach looks like a genius. the local rag was bashing him before the game. today they will hail him as the greatest. we dont need that other guy we got rid of.

i finally went for a two mile walk yesterday. cant use the heat as an excuse anymore. i havent walked because of it. i have gained a few pounds. now i have to start logging  miles to take them off. my dog konugish missed walking. every evening he will get anxious and bump against the door. he is  up for a walk anytime. the only time i walked was at a sponsored walk on the  pow wow trail.

we are having a garage sale at my house this friday, marys day off.  trying to get rid of some junk to make room for new stuff. i used to go garage saling with my mother for about 15 years. i would drive her around. even when she got arthritis she could still beat me out of the car and to the sale.  mary and i go to alot of flea markets and auctions too. we usually buy more than we should. at auctions you get a whole box full for a dollar sometimes. we end up with duplicates of what we already have. we have alittle of everything. everything else is going cheap. i know from experience if you price it too high  most people wont buy it. they looking for a bargain. we have over 400 dvds. we selling them two for 5 dollars. lots of other things for a quarter. we want it to go.

will see what this week brings……
