We FINALLY took the recycling to the drop off center. What a pain in the rear. Our apartment complex doesn't participate in the county's recycling program. In an effort to be Green, we have decided we will save our recyclables and drop them off at the center. Saving is easy. ;) Removing them from their temporary area, putting them in the car, driving them a half hour to the nearest center, and unloading is the challenging part. I think we will make a point not to allow them to accumulate so much next time. lol.

We dined with a visiting relative (who prefers to minimize presence on the internet so shall remain nameless and genderless) last night at a new (to us) local restaurant. I really enjoyed the place. It had a nice, relaxed atmosphere, great food, and excellent service. It's owned by the same people who own the restaurant Mike took me to for my birthday. Comparatively, this place is more casual. I can definitely say, we will return.

We just had a freak thunderstorm which will supposedly be followed by several more throughout the evening. It rolled in quickly, turning the sunny sky into dark clouds within minutes. Piercing downpour, high winds, and pea-size hail wrecked havoc in the area. We even lost power at both offices...all the while, I sat staring at my motorcycle cursing the morning's weather forecast of pleasant weather all week. PLEASE let the weather subside for my ride home.
