I woke up ready to embrace the day when I realized I had no clothes to wear. I remembered putting my clothes in the clothes washer the previous night but couldn\u2019t recall if I ever put them in the dryer. I went downstairs, put my damp clothes in the dryer, turned it on and decided to have a leisurely morning breakfast at home in my PJs. Luckily the paper is delivered to my front door so I didn\u2019t have to go out in my nightwear.<\/span><\/p>\n Did you ever get a different newspaper delivered to you than the one you subscribe to?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Picking up the paper I noticed that it was the National Enquirer, not Newsday.\u00a0 Well, at least my morning reading would be more interesting than the usual tripe. Time for some real news.<\/span><\/p>\n I took out a couple of eggs from the Fresh Farm Eggs carton in the fridge and put them in a pot of water to hard-boil them. Raw eggs are not supposed to float, are they? After testing out the rest of the eggs in the carton, I chose to have cereal instead. By the time I was done with breakfast and the paper, my clothes were dry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Did you ever take clothes out of the clothes dryer and realize they were too hot to wear immediately, so you put them in the freezer for 10 minutes?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Getting dressed was a new experience. My pants and socks were warm, yet my shirt and underwear were quite cold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I decided that it would be a good time to drive to the city and see the new exhibit at the Museum of Natural History. It took me a while to find parking, but I was lucky and found street parking, so I wouldn\u2019t have to pay for a garage. I was looking forward to seeing the new dinosaur exhibit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Did you ever get stopped from entering a museum because you were holding a pocket knife in your pocket?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I wasn\u2019t allowed in until I got rid of the knife and they wouldn\u2019t hold it for me. It would have been a long walk back to the car, so I decided to bury it across the street by a tree in the park, where I could recover it later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Did you ever have your camera confiscated and then be thrown out of a museum for ignoring the NO PHOTOS ALLOWED and DO NOT TOUCH THE EXHIBIT signs?<\/span><\/p>\n Once the guard personally escorted me from the museum I was given my camera back after he watched me delete the photos that I had taken. There was nothing much left to do but to retrieve my knife and head back home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Did you ever notice that one tree in the park looks just like many others?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I searched for a good 30 minutes trying to find where I had buried my knife when a very polite policeman, who had been watching me dig holes throughout the park, asked me to follow him out of the park after making sure that I wasn\u2019t an international terrorist. All I could do was to give up my search and return to my car empty-handed. I was pretty sure I was at the spot where I had parked my car, but it wasn\u2019t there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Did you ever notice that if you leave your keys in your car when you park it in the city, there is a good chance someone else will avail themselves of them?<\/span><\/p>\n After more time with the police, I was left with either calling a friend to pick me up or riding mass transit back home. The police at the station allowed me to make a call to my friend to pick me up as I did not have enough money for the train.\u00a0 Lucky for me, my neighbor had a spare key to my house so I could get back into it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The rest of the day was quietly spent sitting by the phone waiting for the call that would tell me my car had been found, which never came.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I decided to go down to the local pub and get myself something to eat and drink to celebrate the fun summer day I had had.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The waitress looked familiar to me. She might have been a woman I dated in the past and dumped me because I cheated on her. I\u2019m not sure. I smiled at her as I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with a side of onion rings and a salad. She handed me the drinks menu and asked me, \u201cWhat\u2019s your poison?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summer Saturday Summer Saturday, my day off; the day I get to relax and do whatever I want to with no issues to deal with; a time to have fun.

<\/a><\/span>Did you ever wake up in the morning and realize that you forgot to do something the night before?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/span>After getting into the museum I immediately went to the new exhibit. It was amazing. The dinosaur was a Bambiraptor. It kind of looked like a bird, but it was a dinosaur. I was intrigued at how realistic they made it look. I decided it would be cool to take a selfie next to the Bambiraptor that I could share with all of my friends. Not the best idea on my part.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/span>Did you ever notice that sometimes when someone uses an idiom or catchphrase, they literally mean what they are saying?<\/span><\/p>\n
