Watertown, NY, USA . "Public Square" (vintage, date unknown) but the monument is honoring veterans of the American Civil War so the date of the image is late 1800s

Weather was not bad today, sunny and cold this AM, and overcast most of the rest of the day but not a bad fall day, not a great fall day, not an “Indian summer” day for sure but not bad.

Spent 3 and a half hours at work this morning but got virtually everything done that had “fallen thru the cracks” in a very busy week. Did not even look at one job, don’t want to look at it, because it’s a nightmare. The foundation that we do shipping for (link), arranged an overseas shipment and got the freight prepaid and didn’t pay attention to the combined length and girth limitations for the country. Actually I did the pieces cube and weight on the shipment but was not told that it was going air parcel post. So the packaging exceeds the limits. And I need to check to see if a re-pack within the limitations is possible. A fact I doubt but just wasn’t in the mood to hack boxes today.

Spent sometime after work doing a bit of long term shopping. Can goods on the shelf have got down to low ebb. With few exceptions I never buy my can goods at the grocery, made stops at “Big Lots” and “Dollar General”, I can get decent quality, and in sizes that fit a single person, for far less then what I can find at your common grocery store. I have always joked that I think they should open a grocery store for singles. With everything packaged for the person who lives and eats alone. Would also be cool if that non-existent store had a pickup bar in it (hehe).

Actually felt pretty good this morning but crashed out big time in the afternoon. Feel better now but just am dang tired from the week.
