I heard a loud BOOM kind of sound last night. It sounded like gun shot. I wandered around my house and realized the wind was blowing fiercely so I must have heard someone's awning or something.

Then there were about 3 or 4 cop cars and a bambalance a few places down from mine. I tried to be sneaky and go out and see what I could see, but I figured if it had been a gun shot the guy/gal might be sneaking around and find me and force me inside and use me as a hostage. Which could be exciting or terrifying. I mean, it could go either way.

Then I think maybe a car left the road and smashed into one of the cars parked on the front street. I went by this morning and there is a van with the front driver's side corner panel all smashed, but that could have already been like that.

Can't find out today: our town is too poor to produce a Tuesday paper.

If a car did go off the road they had be skunky drunk because the roads were clear and there's a berm separating the residential street from the old highway (now County Road 34983479389347598374987348977282B.)

Nirv, were you replying to Infi?
Was the kerfuffle your sauna being delivered?

If so I think you should apologise for being skunky drunk.

I've never seen a sauna like that. I didn't know there were portable ones.

I am not sure how to react to it. I'm tempted to laugh, but at the same time, there are times I've got a chill in my bones and it looks like it would be really cozy. Is there a comfortable chair in there? Do you set it up in front of the TV and just hang out all evening? I'd probably like to do that. But just look at it. It's ridiculous! I'm so torn.

LMAO Glatt! Steam Saunas similar to this were standard equipment in the old fashioned gyms. This is an infrared dry heat. Yes you sit in it with your head out the top covered or not. 45 minutes is optimal sauna time. This sauna cost $160. Compare to a fabulous 5 person sauna that I may get when [if] I build a new house at $4000. This works just the same and I can watch TV. If I want to take it down it takes 5 minutes and fits in a bag.

I think this kind of sauna was in a James Bond film once upon a time.

Just finished 22.11.63
I think.
It's hard to get the date right in that format. Weird since 24 hour clock was such a logical and easy transition for me.

Anyway, will write it up (don't get too excited) in the book thread.
Just pleased I finished it.

Because it was a (secondhand) hardback and was weighing my bag down. And Diz tries to attack books if I am reading with the duvet tented on my knees. Paperbacks I can hold. Hardbacks get knocked out of my hands.

It was a fun book too. Nice to see King revisiting old themes.
