I have never owned a vehicle and seldom even been in a vehicle that has a radar detector. Honestly, I have secretly always wanted one though, I do not think I have ever told anyone that, but it is true. It is not that I have a car that goes super fast even, but I do like to drive a little over the speed limit. I always feel on edge when I go over the posted limit as I am paranoid about getting a ticket, and then I will see a cop and adhere to the posted speed once again. One thing is for sure, if I were so lucky as to one day own my dream car it would 100% have to have a radar detector installed as there is no possible way I would ever be able to drive it at the posted limit, especially on the open highway.

We have been looking at BBQ’s every year for the past oh, three years at least and have yet to make a purchase. More than once it has looked like the husband’s parents were going to get one for us but it has yet to happen. We even put one on our registry, but were not lucky enough to receive it as a wedding gift. I do not know how much longer ours will hold out, we might even have to start looking at an electric grill if we can not find something soon.

An especially unwelcome smoked filled haze is once again surrounding our city. It is sad to say this has become almost a yearly occurrence around here, even when the forest fires are not in our direct locale. We are basically surrounded by forest fires right now and therefore the air out there is thick with smoke. I feel for those with respiratory problems on days like this as it is bothering me and I have no such afflictions. I only hope it doesn’t last too long as forest fires are not welcome anywhere and if the smoke goes that means the fires are gone too.

It has been years since I have had to deal with a receipt printer. One of my first jobs at a convenience store I had to use a point of sale (POS) machine. I was a little intimidated by it at first, but soon got over that as I realized it was rather easy to operate. Changing the printer tape could sometimes be a bit of a challenge as it would not always come out correctly after a new tape was inserted causing a rather ‘crumpled’ receipt and much frustration on my part. Thankfully I never had anyone get mad at me for handing them a crinkled receipt as most people did not really care about it anyway.
