RN: Trying to remember about Juju's uncle or cousin and what his thing about squirrels was.
Or was that all a figment of my imagination?

RN, Nope, wasn't me, but I sort of remember it, and I used to tease that person a lot about squirrels. Was it Fruitbat? Could have been Norwican? Maybe Norwican. Whichever, I adored both of them. I would never tease anybody I didn't love dearly, like the woman with the crazy Chilean husband. 
RN, Wait! It could even have been Wink. Wink. It was Wink!
<runs out with brain on fire> 17-18 years ago here?
RN, Child, you are going to be the death of me.

RN, I just found out tonight that we have aged out of emergency row seats on LATAM Airlines (South America), when I was trying to PAY for extra leg room seats from Manaus to Sao Paolo, Brazil. There was an asterisk that I clicked on, and it said these seats were emergency row, and you had to be over 16, or some such shit, and under 60. I am over 60, have been for a while. With 4' of legs below the waist, I have traveled in emergency row all of my airplane flying life. If I am too feeble to be in emergency row, why am I doing all this walking, water aerobics, push-ups, blah-blah-blah? Biceps and triceps of steel.
Not stronger than a 16 year old? Well, blow me down, bring it on. There there, Juju. I then realized that because I am so danged old, I am also able to afford the other upgrade seats, and I won't have to be last off the sinking plane, because I am old and feeble. But I will probably let the scared 16 year olds go first anyway.
Old age is not for sissies. Sigh ...

RN I thought I had to go to work today, got up and got ready and as I was heading out the door, realized today is Wednesday not Tuesday. Between it being a holiday on Monday and staying up way to late for the Impeachment hearings, I'm way overtired. Normally, I wouldn't care, but I really could have used the sleep today.
RN: That sucks, Juju.

RN, what Grooch? It sucks that I remembered it was Wink and the squirrels?
RN, I am actually fine with ageing out of emergency row seats and realizing the airlines now have things like Economy Plus, which is fine for me. On our next trip, we are flying American Airlines home from South America, and they have something called Economy Extra, which doesn't seem to be Economy Plus, because there is a separate section for that, but does have more leg room, and gives priority boarding and free drinks. We will see. I was not able to upgrade to the Economy Plus section, so I paid for this new one that I did have access to*. We shall see if it is okay.
RN, I hope Grooch had a very long nap after 3 a.m. this morning.
*I should mention that I booked through a "remainders" travel agent who scores great deals, but air travel can sometimes be a hassle because we customers don't get individual booking numbers until about 48 hours before travel, and therefor we cannot do certain upgrades.

RN I am so thankful that a young man driving in the subdivision saw me struggling with shoveling our very sloped driveway, turned his car around and told me he would be right back to shovel for me!
I became a bit teary at this unexpected kindness. He went home to get his boots. He said he didn't want any money. I thanked him, went inside got $20.00 and made a quick batch of RKT's for him.
He reiterated that he did not want my money, I insisted he take both the RKT's and the money and use it for a treat.
That kind man not only shoveled the driveway, but the walkway to the house and the sidewalks. We have a corner lot. He also brought ice melt with him! He told me he would come shovel, free of charge each time it snowed. Kind is not a big enough word. I thanked him profusely, let him know that was likely not necessary, my husband usually did it but had just had surgery and as I have had knee replacements and am fearful on the ice.
Such a sweet thing to do for a stranger.

That experience so warmed my heart, I was surprised all the snow didn't immediately melt.
