Went to the SOCH thrift store early and found a terrific outfit to wear as actress Gay Wellington. It's what used to be called--I think--"lounging pajamas," three piece, and very thirtyish (or sixtyish) looking, with big, splashy flowers in green and yellow on a black background. Very appropriate for the era and the character.
Called Betty to see if she could have Aline and me for dinner tomorrow, as I plan to ask A. to come to the Plays & Playwrights meeting with me. I said we could buy sandwiches at the corner store, but she said no, no, I'll make southern boil. Well, okay, yum, so we have a date. Hope Aline can come.
Stopped at Acme and got tuna with oil to make my elbow macaroni, tuna, and peas concoction, Did so when I got home and divided it into three bowls. Ate my usual salad for lunch, then--ta dah!--changed into my bathing suit and went to the pool.
There were only six people there besides me, but a few more came later. I got directly into the water and stayed there for two hours. Dennis R. was there, along with others I didn't know, but we all chatted easily, of course. Cold water was actually being pumped into the pool, as it had gotten too warm (never thought I'd say--write--that) and it was wonderful.
Shriveled, but refreshed, I finally got out. Showered and dressed, had one of the macaroni bowls for dinner, then took a drive to New Gretna and beyond.
Note: I'll be interested to know what my upcoming electric bill will be, considering I've had the air on continuously for more than a week, usually set to 73. Last month, the bill had climbed to an outrageous $2.91, all the fault of the solar panels, I'm sure.
WIDER: My friend, Hoosier Jim, looks a bit more closely at "defense"
"cuts" and the great danger if we incline that way:

Food for thought? Yes, but don't let anybody in government know you're thinking--it's dangerous.
