We shall see. The rainy weather brought in cooler temps, which are staying for few days after the aforementioned rain has departed. So today should be quite pleasant from a weather standpoint - sunny, with a high in the 70s.
And it's Free Comic Book Day. That can often be fun. It'll mean the comic book store will likely be crowded. So, I'll have to watch my language, but way more people get to experience the joy of...ME!

My older brother texted my younger brother and I last night. He said he was coming to visit us (he lives a few hours away), and asked what would be a good weekend. So that'll be in another two weeks.
Not sure what he wants, but there's definitely a reason other than "visiting my brothers". It's possible he wants to further discuss our mother, a topic brought to the fore again by her most recent ER visit.

There's some other good news....It looks like the latest Disney Star Wars project is on track for the lowest opening of the franchise ever. Sad in some ways, but it's what they deserve. They brought it on themselves.
Much the same can be said for many entertainment companies and people that are in not good financial straits.

It's turned into a beautiful day, weather-wise. Lots of sunshine, but a nice breeze to keep things cool.
And the traffic gods smiled on my for at least part of it. I had an relatively easy time getting to and from the grocery store. Except for one turn light that's been giving us fits ever since they refurbished the intersection.
It was also a not too bad drive to the scout shop and comic book store. Less so on the way home, but still not horrid.

Speaking of the scout shop.....
When I arrived and walked in, I expressed surprise they were open. I explained this to the perplexed young lady as due to them NOT being open (when they should have) on Tuesday. She then counter-explained it was due to a mix up about work schedules, and the store did eventually open (albeit two hours late).

And speaking of the comic book store.....
Damn! Was it crowded. Free Comic Book Day, so everyone and their grandma seemed to be visiting. Lots of small humans, so I had to watch my language. Didn't stop me from being obnoxiously loud though. The poor new kid was overwhelmed. She'd never see it that busy before.
There was a nice surprise though. The young gal I used to talk with all the time was working today. She had gone part-time to focus more on the pilates classes she teaches. And she's actually leaving the store for good to be a full-time pilates instructor. She's nervous about that, but I told her I think she'll do fine, and that I was proud of her. I even got a hug.

And let me say, I never thought much of pilates, but ever since she started doing that stuff she's looking a lot better. I mean in great physical shape. Not that she was bad before, but now she's looks toned and very healthy.
Anyway, she's a good kid, and I really hope she does well with the pilates thing.
