Can’t and really shouldn’t look back on decisions made in the past, what’s done is done. I am sure there are other decisions you are equally glad you made.

I should have moved out west when I wasn’t tied down to this place.

Comical should be a better way to describe it.

Every time work sucks, I wonder if I should have taken that IRS position. Now I look at it and the commute would have been 10 times worse from where we are moving to.

When I got to the hotel last night, it was 64. When I left at 6:30 this morning, it was 42. It is supposed to get up to around 62 here today.

When I left Thursday morning, gas was $2.99. Saw that price this morning on the way home up by I-10 and US 301. When I got off at my exit earlier, I saw $2.79.

When I passed by east of you on I-95 yesterday, it was not raining. I was fortunate in that regard: missing most of the heavy rain while driving.

I appreciate that. Did you stop at Buccee's in Florence? When I went to Myrtle the other week I had planned to stop there but didn't.

Stopped to get gas and food going in both directions. Had never stopped their in previous trips. Got a pulled pork sandwich yesterday and a sliced brisket sandwich Thursday. Both times a fried apple pie was my side.

I keep hearing that stopping there is a must. I'll have to stop next time we go to spring training.

So the radon test in the new house came back high, but less than the EPA action level. It is recommended that a Radon mitigation system installed. I'm not sure if these owners are going to do that or get the hot water heater and rotted wood on the deck fixed.
