I'm always disappointed when a liar's pants don't actually catch fire.

This is what Seattle looked like today, the first day pot was legal in Washington.

Thanks to my friend Shelly in Seattle for that pic.
I've never even taken a puff of a cigarette, but I plan to inhale when we're in Seattle later this month.
We're going up for three days on Monday the 17th to celebrate my mom's 90th birthday which is on the 24th. (Tickets are tough to get and pricey that week.) My younger bro. and his wife live in Seattle and my older bro. and his wife are flying over from Spokane. We'll have fun, and we all realize there are limited opportunities for the eight of us to be together with both parents now at the 90-year old mark.

Today's primary task was taking apart the Rambler's carb to identify and fix (?) a sticking float. I think the cause was the gasket which was just a bit too wide and, when the car got hot, infringing on the float's travel up and down. I cleaned everything up and reassembled, using a razor blade to trim the inside edge of the gasket.
Took it for a test drive afterward and the results were inconclusive, and by that time it had cooled off enough that I couldn't get the engine hot enough. I'll try again tomorrow afternoon.

Pam had the day off, a rare thing for a Saturday. She spent most of the day out in the kitchen baking good stuff for tomorrow. Aubri is hosting a baby shower for Michelle tomorrow afternoon and Pam was making goodies for that. Michelle is now six weeks out so the anticipation is building.
Michelle's mom surprised her by arriving from Michigan Thursday night so she could see her daughter preggo and attend the shower.
I am very blessed to have sweet, smart and godly daughters who have servant hearts. Love 'em.

Today is World AIDS Day.
I'm old enough to have lived through the period when AIDS was considered a gay disease and, to be honest, I have to remind myself sometimes that it isn't. I have a friend from college days whose dad died from AIDS because as a hemophiliac in days before blood was tested for AIDS he got a transfusion of tainted blood. And a Facebook friend from Seattle spent time in Mozambique working in an orphanage for children with AIDS.
Magic Johnson.
I'm glad we have drugs that can make a difference re. what used to be a universally fatal disease. Maybe some day a cure.
For all of them.
