Signs of the Times

Yesterday , in cottage country, my eyes flashed on  sign " Pick up Chicks " yowza. No, the sign was for baby chicks for raising.

The event brought back memories of travelling to a cottage for a rainbow trout fishing trip, a roadside sign , read " Brown eggs for sale ".
Now, you need to understand, that our main bait was salmon roe tied in nylon bundles ( dime sized ), so Gino's interpretation was, that the sign was offering brown trout eggs ( which are supposedly best ) on the road side. Only fishermen you say !

And once, I saw a sign that proclaimed " Brassieres for Sale " , okay ! it said  ' Raspberries ', I was driving and only glanced.

Weather was cold last night 32 F but to-day will hit 50 w/ rain later.
We got rain for periods, the last 2 days. This extra precip is not helping the flooding that is occurring barely 20 miles N of our cottage. Main roads are awash and some homes and businesses are coping w/ flowing water in bedrooms and show area.

Bonus>  Take Mommy to the dentist day. She had oral surgery and teeth and stumps were removed. Now, we start the fitting process for a plate ( s ). Expect the worst, hope for the best. The problem is that the best is barely useful.
One friend reported his aunt won't use her dentures b/c they're uncomfortable.
Yessiree, can't wait to spend  $ 5.5 K so , mom can wrap her new dental plates in tissue and stick them in her drawer.

As my poker budds are want to tell me, ' she took care of you , its your turn '.
However, there is osmething wrong when your buying diapers for your mother and I don't care what anyone says.
