Thursday, March 19: Bringing It All Back Home

23rd and Fairmount
Good day peeps. Today is March 19 mid-March to all you out there in Candy land. It is cool but sunny.
Marring up
The sun makes up for the cold it makes it pleasurable to go outside. I got more sleep today and amazed a

completed. I did my two walks with the dog thus far as at 6:17 PM. The 8000 mile data fun got a

little silly. And I felt like I just got to stay local. After all, I do live in the fifth largest city in the entire United States.
Walking from EL
You'd think I'd find something going on here. I feel rested  and that is real good. They were very good about my

Anyhow him I'm on the 42 bus just want this dog and

42nd and Chestnut

sitting here at Saxbys and it's very warm but dammit I'm not off for a second after I load up some pictures. It's now 5:56 PM. Yeah, I proceeded to go to Saxbys and get a coffee. I found this very comfortable lounge chair and proceeded to take a nice nap. I attempted to edit the blog but the service was so slow it couldn't
be done. I'm hoping my Internet works when I get home. Larry's going to look at a plumbing supply place to order this clip for Larry's shower.
I looked it up on Amazon and It's 15 bucks l get to my workplace by Wednesday if I ordered the next 2 hours. It's now 9:30 PM I am
waiting for the EL and 46 street I decided I just go overnight with no Scrips and pick them up at the CVS tomorrow morning,
Well I was walking to catch either the 7 or the 48 and someone on Facebook linked me to this article  about being white and Irish in Philadelphia. It looks interesting.

Sunday, March 15: A Chilly March Day

Today I woke up not feeling quite exhausted. It also helped that it's not pouring rain outside.
My Place to 4701 Pine
It is a bit chilly outside. I walk the dog and went to Sunday fun day and then went to the bar at nine after hanging

out with my buddy and having a good talk. After the barn on the 40 bus to the seven bus which she

had a massive detour because of the St. Patrick's Day parade going on today. I went and caught the

some links for Larry to get rechargeable batteries and I took a quick power nap. We then drove out to

Larry's via Fairmount Avenue because the St. Patrick's Day was closing up the parkway. We picked up

Larry and went to Fishtown and first stopped at the La Colombe. There, we waited in line for 15 minutes and decided that nothing

 on the menu is really enticing so we looked up a place in the mug shot café.
A Filipino Meal
It had a bunch of mugshots of famous people in Hollywood actors in their mugshots. I got a nice

Then I went to 60 minutes and walked home with a couple people and got the 42 bus to 4701. After greeting the nice woman at the front desk, I walked the dog and then getting home was
