As I was thinking about a title for today’s post, a thought occurred to me. If you married someone named Nes, would your anniversary be Wed Nes Day? Yeah, that’s how my mind works these days. But, at least it is still working, such as it is.
I always appreciate comments here; your feedback means a lot to me. I was gratified to learn that Terry stops by LTG every morning and enjoys the photos I post. After nearly eight years, there’s not much new for me to see around here, but knowing my reader(s) like to partake in the views provides ample motivation to look for things that might be of interest. And here’s a shitload of stuff from yesterday I found worthy of a picture:
As seen on the morning dog walk. One of my pet (no pun intended) peeves is that nothing is done about the stray dogs in the neighborhood. They knock over trash cans, scatter trash, and bark all night. But yeah, you should pick up the spilled trash regardless.
(I lifted some photos from the hike from Scott’s FB page. Credit where it is due, his are marked with an (SP) in the caption.)
The Wednesday Walkers loaded up in a Jeepney and rode it out to the Subic Town marketplace.This week’s iteration: (L-R) Chris, Steve, Scott, Matthew, and Swan. Plus yours truly.We stepped out into the busy market streets.The Haves……and the Have Nots.There are worse things than living on the riverside, though. And at least, you are close to town. (SP)That’s about enough of this traffic. Let’s walk through the ‘hood. (SP)Ah, this guy was born the same year as me. Hope you enjoyed your ride through life.Crossing the river again on a footbridge this time.I’m coming! I’m coming! (SP)More river dwellers.Pond scum.An almost Moses-like moment. (SP)Some youngsters were treated to lollipops. (SP)What the hell? Nazis in the Philippines! Who’d a thunk it?I was still shaking my head about the swastika when I saw this. Fine, be that way!Onward we go.The Walking Not DeadYet.Another river crossing.Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river.A grave concern.River kids.Walled in.Peace be unto you! (SP)The locals were friendly and welcoming as we passed through their village. (SP)A shady spot on the river.Over a couple of rickety bridges.If it held me, it will hold you, Scott.It’s nice to be out and about in places like this. (SP)Another pond.Maybe he’ll grow up to be Tarzan.I was sad to see that since my last time out this way, someone has cut down all those big trees. I suspect that means some type of development is forthcoming.The highlight of the morning for me was seeing my lola friend and her grandkids again. They are by far the most thankful for the pittance I throw their way on the occasions when our paths cross.That’s where the lola calls home.Another neighborhood greeting. (SP)Passing the time, however comfortably and well. (SP)Making a living as best as she can. (SP)See you next time, kiddos. (SP)Our 5K journey looked like this.Or this. (Scott’s map.)
So, that was the morning portion of the day. At beer o’clock, I headed back out. Wednesday is the Baloy Beach routine. Swan had an errand to attend to, so she joined me a bit later on the floating bar.
A relatively quiet day on Baloy.The captain of this sailboat was enjoying some liquid refreshments on the floating bar.Sun in the sky and on the water.And here comes that girl of mine, just in time to see the show.Bye-bye, you!
The music was crap when I arrived, but I held my tongue because the other passengers outnumbered me and didn’t seem bothered. When they left, I politely asked the cashier if I could hear something I liked, and she immediately switched the playlist to classic rock. Thanks for that!
Back ashore, we popped into Treasure Island. Neither of us was hungry (I can thank Ozempic for that, not sure what Swan’s excuse might be). We did share a chicken quesadilla, but had two slices leftover that we gave to the bartender. I may not be eating healthy, but I’m eating less!
When we were ready to head home, we couldn’t find a trike, so we walked most of the way back to the highway before catching a ride. Hey, extra steps never hurt anybody, right?
From Facebook memories:
Seven years ago, I was chillaxin’ at Cheap Charlies. Back then, I enjoyed a San Miguel Zero and my vape pens. I don’t miss the vaping, but it looks like I won’t be having a Zero beer again. The search AI says: “San Miguel Zero is no longer available in the Philippines due to a strategic decision by San Miguel Brewery to focus on other products in their portfolio. The company has shifted its emphasis towards different beer offerings that align with market demand.”Damn, I guess I wasn’t demanding enough.
I’ll be going to Cheap Charlies this evening for old times’ sake.
And now it is November 2018 in the LTG archives. I’m still enjoying family time back home in Columbia, South Carolina, like this Halloween celebration. Those days are gone, but not forgotten, even if I have been.
Today’s YouTube video turned out to be surprisingly interesting to me. What was driving like in the USA back in the 1930s? Well, thanks to some old photographs and AI enhancements, we can now see for ourselves.
My humor never gets old, right? Right?
Obviously, as a former letter carrier, I never stole from the mail. But at Christmas, some customers would leave an envelope for me in the mailbox. One dollar meant a lot more to me from the little old lady on social security than ten bucks for the folks in the rich subdivision.Sometimes there is no wisdom in wit.I’m sorry you feel that way.
And that’s all for this time. Thanks for reading! Y’all are my last connection to the outside world.
I know I’ve posted this song before, and I just came across it again in the archives. It’s even older than me, but it tickles my fancy anyway.

Possibly you knocked her up, ya rugged stallion!!! Better make an appointment with Dr Jo to be sure.

But you’re still a blimmin’ idiot, and that bint of yours. Why order food if neither of you were hungry? Two dimwits getting drunk every night you two are.
