Week Past 09/24-09/30/07
Mon 09/24 was bloodletting day. Finally the right day to donate blood. Red Cross has been calling and sending cards with information on where and when they will be having their blood drive. I guess it shows on their record that I'am again eligible to give blood sometime August since my last donation. It was at the YMCA in Portland Ave where I used to work out. I did not make an appoinment so I came in ten minutes before their scheduled opening. It helped. I did not have to wait long even if there were three people already booked for the opening hour. But in any case I was with a reading material.
Early evening another thunderstorm passed by our area. Dark clouds, strong winds and heavy downpour. It lasted for about thirty minutes then its gone except for some drizzle and overcast skies. It may be short but if the winds are really damaging that's a loooong thirty minutes.
Sat 09/29 early evening, walking back towards our house as I took our mail after coming from work I saw five wild turkeys "strolling" in the woods in our backyard. First were the two deers . Then a beach ball (pic below) that looks incongruous in the woods. Strong winds brought about by the thunderstorm stranded this beach ball. A neighbor must be missing it.
