Totally %@&#ing Lost

Today was a total loss on the outdoor front. The rain started about sun up and didn’t quit until late afternoon. So the planned bike ride or hike in the woods will have to wait until next weekend.

I scanned some more images from the Big Box of Morrison Memories this morning. By show of hands, how many of you have a picture just like this from your childhood? There was no date on the photo, but from the looks of the kids, that’s Donna second from the bottom, she is thinking 1961 or 1962.

After going out for lunch and a stop at the supermarket to pick up a few of the missed items from yesterday’s major shopping expedition, we went somewhere we haven’t been for over 6 years, Blockbuster. They didn’t have what we wanted. So we doubled back and went into Movie Gallery, where we stopped going when Blockbuster came to town about 9 years ago. We grabbed the two DVD cases we wanted and went to the checkout. My name was still in their files, but that was it. Every other bit of info had to be re-entered. Once that was finished, ready to go, the clerk informed us that these were just the empty display cases, she needed the box with the DVD behind them. They weren’t on the shelf. Damn, they were already checked out. Disappointed we headed home for a dull afternoon inside the house. Part way home I made an unexpected right turn, I remembered the other Movie Gallery on the southside of town. We had never even been in this store before. At first we couldn’t even find what we wanted, but then there they were, behind the display cases were rent-able DVDs. Grinning from ear to ear, I handed the girl behind the counter my license and a credit card so I could open an account. We politely looked like we were listening to her spiel of the rules. We smiled attentive-like at her sales pitch for a rental gift card thing that could be had for $17.95 and was worth $24.95 before bolting for the door. We didn’t even feel the cool misty rain as we skipped back to the car.

Clutched in my hands were Season 1: Disc 3 & 4 of “Lost.”
