As odd as a it may sound I had a very satisfying sneeze today.
My wife always says i have a very loud sneeze.
This is likely true since if I have to sneeze I want it to be effective and only sneeze once.
We also have Fort Devens a few miles away and occasionally the reserves do demolition training.
The big ones can shake the house so everything rattles.
Well today was my first ever sneeze that shook the house, "ach-OOOO boom rattle rattle rattle."
probably was better in person...

Fun lunch today with two former co workers, the sister of one and the cousin/friend of another. Lots of laughs.
Hung out at the Olive Garden for more than 2 hours and left our waiter a nice tip.

Tomorrow is lunch with Y ladies, Friday lunch with local sister and my local cousins.

Fun week!

I have deep sneezes, too. I'm usually a two or three sneezer. If I don't blow my nose as soon as I wake up I'll sneeze a bunch.

A workmate of mine will always sneeze exactly 4 times. I've known him for over 20 years and never seen him sneeze any greater or fewer times, ever. Always four. It's quite impressive/disturbing.

My son sneezed the other day and did not make any attempt to cover his mouth/nose. I was horrified and struggled not to beat him with my broom.

I don't know what is happening but we have had couple of pedestrians lose their lives, being struck by cars on two separate occasions. You have to be very careful when you cross streets. Everyone is in such hurry. Pedestrians have to be ultra cautious. It is very sad especially during holiday season for those family members who lost their loved ones to traffic accidents.

My gut response would be to query where the respective cell phones of all involved were.
Even short duration distraction by either involved can have deadly consequences.

^ There are quite a few drivers on the road who are not paying attention to driving. Often times, I see their heads facing down while driving forward. It's amazing we don't have as many accidents. Everyday is a high adventure on the road.

I just went and ran some errands and noticed that the supermarket parking lot was a very dangerous place. The lot was almost full and people were circling around looking for spots driving way too fast. I was thinking they should have an ambulance on stand by there just like they do at race-tracks.

Jerry- Didn't realize you were that close to Ft Devens. I was up at our new site there about 12 years ago during construction. I haven't had a need to return, but if I ever do, I'll make sure to ping you.
