Friday 5 for October 25: I’ve got a bad feeling about this

Friday 5 for October 25: I’ve got a bad feeling about this


 The following questions come from Scrivener's Friday 5 blog:

1. In your city, where might a visitor find a wretched hive of scum and villainy?

Hawaii State Capitol. 😀 Some of them should be at OCCC.

2. When did you most recently do something you didn’t think you could do?

Survive a heart attack in 2015. 

3. If a robot could do all but two of your regular menial chores, which two would you continue to do?

  • Turn the lights on and off
  • Cook most of my meals

4. Who best qualifies as a mentor in your life today?

The two people who mentored me have both died now.

5. How are you at chess?

I'm better at checkers and Stratego. Chess, I can play but my King would probably be checkmated in under five minutes.

I have a cautious good feeling that Trump will win.

September 18, 2024. See photo above.

2. When did you last have a guest not related to you in your home?

Today, yesterday, last week, this month, last month, the past five years. Lisa is not related to me but she is a long-term guest here.

3. When did you last have a service or delivery person in your home?

I think that was on July 13. EMS.  😮 😧

4. When did you last have nobody at all (including you) overnight in your home?

May 2019. Went to a family reunion on the Big Island of Hawaii.

5. When did you last have an unexpected visitor at your front door?

Building management stopped by the yell at us about our windows being opened during window washing day last month. They were loud and rude. I had forgotten about that day as I was out running an errand that morning. I usually never forget about those days.
