"Welvis" at Bollywood Night.

 The Taste of Asia Restaurant has a Bollywood night. My son said that we should come and see Abilene's "Welvis". He is our local Elvis impersonator from Wales. The lost bachelors that eat there frequently have dubbed him "Welvis".

The man taking the picture is the owner of the restaurant. He owns some doughnut shops too. He makes really good doughnuts. I don't know what was on the TV screen when I shot the picture but it looks likes half of a skull and praying monk at the same time.  Strange.

Auto Insurance Adjuster Today...

The car is totaled. The insurance adjuster turned on the car to see the mileage. His comment was we know how to wear out a car with mileage. Yep. A whopping 48,000 miles on a 1996 car.  The van needs some repairs.

He was telling us the company will probably send him out of state now. He isn't sure yet which place they are sending him. He just knows he is going to see heartbreak.

We now just wait for the home insurance adjuster to arrive. We told him we don't mind waiting since there are people worse off.

We prayed for rain. Softball Sized Hail Thrown in for Good Measure.

Rain with extra something special in it.

Softball sized hail in our yard. I wasn't going to run across street to get a bigger one either.

One car has a few good sized dents. We won't know the full extent of the damage until this storm passes by completely.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!

I took this picture when our sky was filled with smoke from the Texas fires as the sun was setting. Most Governors shy away from religious prayers. Gov. Rick Perry called Prayer for Rain this weekend. It rained. I just hope it rain where the fires are. God is good.

Repeal of 'ill-conceived' 1099 rule awaiting President Obama's signature

1099 provision

Businesses of all sizes will be required to report all purchases totaling $600 or more per vendor in a year, which is likely to increase accounting costs and paperwork.

In a win for small businesses, the Senate has voted to repeal an unpopular new IRS rule that would have required reporting of many more business-to-business transactions on a form known as a 1099.
The Senate voted Monday afternoon to approve the repeal bill passed in the House earlier in March, and the measure now awaits action by President Barack Obama, who is expected to sign it.

This should have never gotten passed in the first place.

WSJ Blog; Commodore 64: Welcome Back, Old Friend.... (Blink, Blink)

By Jennifer Valentino-DeVries

The Commodore 64 is back. Well, sort of.
The big beige box familiar to computer lovers in the 1980s is again available — albeit with some updated technology and a new company behind it.

Rest of the article is here.  If you are in the mood for 80's nostalgia, read the comments to the article.

Shopping

Here's the project nearly finished.

Next time, I am going to let him crash the grocery cart into another person.

This woman was digging into her purse. She had this odd color "blond" hair that has been perm. Think of older women from times gone by whose hair resembles a white colored poodle where its curls are in dire need of going to doggie grooming salon. I couldn't see her face. I had to give you folks some sort of image for your minds.

My husband was looking at the fruit section but pushing his cart in a different direction. The lady is speeding her cart while looking inside her purse. It is a collision that is going to happen.

I said a little too loudly to my husband, "Honey, don't hit the old lady" Both stopped dead in their tracks along with every other shopper in hearing range too.

I realized immediately what I said. I quickly cover my mouth in full embarrassment. I am hoping the floor will open up and swallow me.

Old lady doesn't miss a beat and said to me, "You are a hell of lot older than I am". (Keep that one under your hat. It was educational.) She tells me her age. I tell her my age.  There is a man that is standing in earshot of us whose shoulders are going up and down like crazy. He is holding his stomach. He starts to walk away and can't walk a straight line. I think this older man is going to blow a gasket from not trying to let out escaped laugh sound.

Every time that lady saw me in the store I swear her eyes were calling me "Old biddy".

I asked my husband do I look older than she does... He said he isn't answering that question.
