An Under A Bumbershoot Rainy Walk Around Fosdick Lake With Carlotta Camano

Today, in the noon time frame, a slow, northwest type rain was drizzling down.

So, I went to Oakland (Lake) Park to walk around Fosdick Lake under a rain shielding bumbershoot.

Carlotta Camano went walking with me today.

Carlotta called me a couple days ago, leaving a voice mail, which I forgot to return til today.

Carlotta is probably the best verbalizer I verbalize with. Some verbalizers drive me nuts with their bad verbalizing, doing things like using way too many words to describe way too little.

Carlotta verbalizes in perfect English, with complex sentences and a narrative flow to the verbalizing that makes it effortless to listen to.

As I walked around Fosdick Lake, talking to Carlotta Camano  I was surprised to encounter other people under bumbershoots enjoying the chilly temperature and the rain.

Currently it is only 68 degrees in the outer world at my location. I do not know why my air-conditioner is running. I think I will go turn it off and open some windows.

Okay, the windows are now open and it is starting to get chilly in here. I'm sitting here wondering why the air-conditioner was running. Is it in some sort of malfunction mode?

I must cease with this important blogging and email Betty Jo Bouvier now, to tell Betty Jo what Carlotta had to tell me.

My Heartfelt Apology To Washington's Carlotta Camano For My Misuse Of Duck Tape

A few months ago Carlotta Camano, up in Washington, mentioned to me that she had used "Duck Tape" to fix something.

I then, in a rare moment of acting like a know-it-all, informed Carlotta that the correct term was "Duct Tape."

Carlotta thanked me for correcting her alleged egregious error.

Well, imagine my horror, this morning, when I was in Wal-Mart, needing, among other things, to acquire what I thought was "Duct Tape", to find that Carlotta Camano was using the correct terminology, when I saw nothing but "Duck Tape" on the shelf.

I have emailed Carlotta Camano what I hope she accepts as a heartfelt apology for my bad manners and misinformation, telling Carlotta....

I was mortified today to realize I had ignorantly and pedantically erroneously schooled you for using a wrong word. Some time ago you said you used "Duck Tape" to fix something. I then overbearingly and condescendingly informed you that I lived in the state with the highest consumption of that tape, which is used in all sortsa ways, everything from car repairs, to clothing malfunction repairs, to emergency birth control, to temporary dentistry, to stopping gunshot bleeding.

So, today I needed some of that tape. Not for emergency birth control, but for a more elevated use.  Imagine my shock when I found the tape section in Wal-Mart to see that this particular product is called "Duck Tape."

I hope you can find it in your extremely forgiving heart to forgive me for being such a Duck Tape buffoon.

I truly am mortified. This type thing must be the type thing that Gar the Texas Pedantic Know-It-All, But-Often-Wrong Nerd goes through every day.

It is humiliating.

400% Increase In The Tandy Hills Noontime Human Population Today

The spot of white that you see in the middle of the picture is photo documentation of a rare Tandy Hills phenomenon.

That being humans besides myself on the Tandy Hills in the noon time frame.

A trio of humans.

I think the precipitous drop in the temperature may be causing people to less cautiously venture out into the formerly HOT outer world.

It was in the low 80s when I hit the hills today. It is only 84, currently, coming up on 4 in the afternoon.

The temperature of my pool water has plummeted. It took a few seconds for the water to stop feeling cold this morning.

Speaking of the temperature. And who isn't? Someone calling him or herself "Anonymous" commenting on a blogging from yesterday, gave me some good advice.

This is what Anonymous had to say...

Move back to the hot and humid Skagit County. Highs expected near 90 all week.

If it gets in the high 80s this week in the Puget Sound zone, I expect to be hearing some weather whining from up north.

My #1 Puget Sounder, with an extreme temperature aversion, is Carlotta Camano. Last summer, after suffering a rare Pacific Northwest heat wave, Carlotta vowed to have air-conditioning installed in her Puget Sound viewing home by the time the summer of 2011 arrived.

That never happened. And until now, Carlotta has had no need to for air-conditioning. Carlotta may have lost her HEAT aversion. She spent a weekend in Super HOT Las Vegas last month. August in Vegas is HOT.

Well, I'm out of here for a bit. I need to go out into the naturally air-conditioned outer world and drive myself to a store to buy something I need to buy.

Early To The Doctor Makes Me Late To The Tandy Hills Calling Carlotta Camano To Go To Sea-Tac While Elsie Hotpepper Needs To Get Dressed

I think this afternoon was the first time I've gazed upon the stunning skyline of beautiful downtown Fort Worth since it was announced that Fort Worth was named one of 10 towns being 2011's All-America Cities.

A doctor appointment in Hurst, this morning, that lasted past noon, had me later than usual doing my usual daily endorphin inducing aerobic activity.

Today's late aerobic activity took place on the dried out Tandy Hills.

We did not get to 100, again, here in my zone of North Texas. But, it was not being breezy, so the hills seemed HOT.

After my hill hiking I went to Town Talk.

When I left Town Talk I called Carlotta Camano.

Earlier today Carlotta Camano emailed me to tell me she was going to a Seattle Sounders game tonight to celebrate the last day of school. With a Dick's Deluxe Burger on the way to the game.

In Carlotta's email she told me she could pick me up at Sea-Tac, if needed, after the game.

So, when I left Town Talk I called Carlotta to tell her I was waiting to board at Love Field and that I needed her to pick me up at 9:15 at the Southwest Airlines gate zone.

Some hilarity ensued.

Whenever I talk to Carlotta Camano it makes me think I would have enjoyed being a school teacher.

I got to my destination and continued to talk to Carlotta til overheating set in due to there being too much hot air.

When I eventually got back to my current location I was a bit surprised to see an urgent message from Elsie Hotpepper telling me she desperately needed help getting dressed.

I tell you. It is always something. And usually it is something caused by someone of the sex opposite mine.
