Awake: 5:23am Temp 22 Sunny Overnight @ Nicktown
We drive to the community center & attend 8:00am Mass, then receive ashes
on our forehead. Afterward, we join the marked coffee club members for 40
min. Then it’s back to our bus where I call TracStar in Florida & thank Al
for his help in getting our satellite system working.
Kathy does 2 laundry loads this afternoon & I top off the pure water
holding tank. In her spare time, she continues the searching for low air
fares.
I sign up for another yr of membership with the Escapees club.
Next, I pay our annual motorhome insurance.
@ 2:45 we drive to Ebensburg: Kathy grocery shops @ the West End Market
while I check with three places for dark beer, none of which spark my
interest for tasting. Next, a quick stop @ the Goodwill thrift store &
then Wal-Mart for groceries. Back to our bus @ 4:55pm.
5:15 dinner @ the Spangler Fire Hall bldg where we join several members of
the Coffee Gang, its fish night. It’s Ash Wednesday & of course, the place
is loaded with us Catholics. It was a pretty good buffet plus Kathy didn’t
have to cook & I didn’t have any dishes to clean up.
We take Al K. with us afterward for a quick shopping stop @ Giant Eagle in
Barnesboro, then take Al home. His wife Donna was using their car.
@ 6:45 K & I drive over to the church hall for the Acid Rock meeting @
7:00. We knew very little about this meeting as it was advertised in the
Indiana newspaper but not locally. Turns out, ICE (Indiana County
Environmental) wants & needs Nicktown’s help in defeating the Acid Rock
Plan, plus we don’t want our counties to begin being used as: Hazard Waste
Sights! This committee asked for volunteers for: sign makers, good
speakers, phone callers, writers, etc. They also asked for financial
contributions to offset the expense of fighting this problem. The meeting
lasted over 2 hrs.
Late evening: watch ½ of movie from direcTV: “From Here to Eternity.” Best
picture of 1953 with Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Deborah Kerr, Frank
Sinatra, Donna Reed & Ernest Borgnine.
Slight flaw in the operation: We didn’t sign up with DirecTV for the box
that allows one to record the movie to watch later….so when will we watch
the other half?
High today: 43 Lights out: 11:24pm
