1. When I woke up this morning, I thought I'd probably hit the road and enjoy the drive from Rose Lake to St. Maries to Plummer to the CdA Casino. I thought I might stop in St. Maries and eat breakfast at the Timber Lodge Cafe.
I didn't think Debbie and I would be the proud owners of a 2025 Toyota Corolla.
Ha!
But we are.
Debbie and Adrienne went to somewhere (Ramsey maybe?) in New Jersey, Debbie texted me that she'd bought a car, and later she sent me a picture.
Now we have two silver Toyotas.
2. Knowing now that Debbie had the fob to a new Corolla, I hit the road later than I thought I would. It was hazy in North Idaho from fires somewhere, but I enjoyed driving along the Chain Lakes and easing into St. Maries. Since I arrived in St. Maries too late to order breakfast, I didn't stop at the Timber Lodge Cafe, but I drove the scenic highway between St. Maries and Plummer and stopped in for another Winning Wednesday at the CdA Casino.
Following my pattern over the last few weeks, I just relaxed on the machines, hit a few modest winning spins, and after a while and after spending the equivalent of dinner for two and a couple of beers at Radio Brewing, I headed back to the Camry.
3. Debbie was going to call me later on, but I got the a/c going in the Camry and, instead, I called Debbie from my parking spot.
We had a great conversation about Debbie's purchase, money, insurance, the to be figured out later future of the Subaru, and Debbie's plan to hit the road again on Thursday (Aug 14) to take Jack to Woodbridge, VA so he can see the Diaz family.
It's all good.
After Debbie and I hung up, I called the insurance agent in Kellogg with a billing question. That's all good.
I drove home to Kellogg.
My mind wandered back to 1972.
The Moody Blues released a single that year from their Seventh Sojourn album that struck me as fitting today.
Remember it?
"Isn't Life Strange"
