Fourth of July

I stayed home today. The only time I left the apartment was to take the cat for his walk this morning.  It is just too hot to get out as I learned yesterday when I crazily decided to go to VeeQuiva Casino for their grand opening.  It was a two hour trip to get there which did open my eyes to another part of the county that I had not seen before.  I had not been in that part of town since I lived in Arizona in the 60's and what a change!  I could hardly believe how Phoenix has grown in size since I first moved here.

I had to wait at two stops for the transfer bus and at the last stop which was about 5:00 I was so hot I could hardly believe it.  It made me feel really ill for awhile. I had been keeping cool through drinking water, and using my ice block, but by this time the sun was at its worst, and the water was nearly gone as well as the ice block nearly thawed out.  I was also loaded down with things that I had bought at Walgreen's and Big Lots.

When I got home, I was exhausted and too tired to really eat. I had eaten a hamburger and a hot dog already so that today being the fourth I did not eat any of that junk.  I ate the frozen Asian meal of orange chicken instead.

Then I spent the evening watching the fireworks on PBS and Macy's which fortunately came on immediately after the PBS show closed. Then PBS had an encore presentation which I did watch again to see the real difference in the fireworks displays. I was very impressed with Macy's show this evening as it was so well done that it really made an impact on me due to my new t.v.  It was fantastic!

The Washington Monument made an impact on me too finally in a way that I had not seen until tonight.     It has to do with one of Nostradamus's quatrains which I will not explain right now...Just a note to jog my memory if I need to recall it.  About the opening of a grave.

Finally, next year will be the 238th anniversary of the country's birth.  Suddenly it hit me loud and clear!  Perfect!  Lawdy Lawdy!
