I didnt know what they were but I pulled over to the curb, pushed the flashers on and put on the brake. It was fun to photograph them. I’d just left the swim meet. These wheeled creatures were on their own power. I knew it was some sort of robot. I looked them up with a Google photo search and here’s the article My first pic is out of focus. I watched it turn down the path and roll along.
This morning I drove out to #1Cochran Subaru to an appointment with Mary Beth. There’s a Love- Encore Delivery program. She patiently showed me all the features in my new car, answered questions that I had and showed me where to take my Outback for service in the future. Thank you Mary Beth.
Although I had a 2011 Subaru Outback previously, this new one has lots of improved technology and safety features. “To make sure you’re familiar with these features and to personalize them according to your needs, Subaru created the Love-Encore visit. You’ll have a one-on-one appointment at Subaru with a Subaru Star Delivery Specialist who will answer any questions you have and help you explore and customize your vehicle’s systems”
She gave me a little black notebook with pen and stylus and a $25 Sheetz gas card.
The blog introduced you to Harry “Good News” when I bought my car – it was Harry who told me about the Love-Encore program. Thank you
As I was leaving I saw that #1 Cochran is having a Subaru loves Pets Day Oct 28th. (Note Date changed from original of 22 October) Dogs who are Hard to Place in forever homes will be in the showroom.
You miss the physical connection, the being together.
We’re into the third month of being apart.
Grateful for virtual connection via Face Time

A test request: Can you leave a word or two in the comment section today so I can see how EASY- Difficult or IMPOSSIBLE it is to leave a comment if you are not a WordPress Blogger. I have heard from at least two regular commenters that it is not easy to do so.
Nobody has time to experience a hassle.
The WordPress Elves may have “improved” something in the comment section of the blog. Thank you.

The monitor inscribed with the claim Low Radiation! Hope so. This looks like it has had some serious usage.
Found on the sidewalk as I parked my car Saturday morning.
Do you have one of these in the basement or the back of a closet? Or maybe you have a printer that no longer prints?

You might have to strain your eyes to see it in the photo. The space station sighting on Sunday night. The little white dot to the left,over the neighbors house roof, is the space station. Traveling 4.7 miles per second. Erika’s dad knew what time to see it in the sky, thanks to an app he has.
It tells him where and when to see satellites and such in the night sky. It was really bright. Although it was over Sunset Beach Florida when we saw it, we were standing in Columbus, Ohio.
My iPhone was the camera.
People at Work. Meet Shillelagh maker, Mr. Patrick Byrne. Today I got invited to his workshop, Byrne Shillelaghs, to photograph him making a shillelagh. Irish Walking Sticks, right here in Pittsburgh. Made to order. I got to see a work in progress- A Thumb Stick. His custom designs are gorgeous. I saw an authentic thorn stick too, with the thorns still protruding from the column of wood.
We met because we both donated our artistic creations to the Kidney Gift of Life Gala.
Custom Branding, Embedded Coins, Gems, Nameplates are all a possibility when ordered your custom made shillelagh. Here is Pat Byrne holding one made of hard maple.
Here is Mr. Byrne, holding the shillelagh that was given to him by a man who said, “You’re Irish aren’t you?” and went into his house and brought this out and gave it to him as a gift. This first shillelagh started his thinking, I could make this! And he does, beautifully. His son does the art work and branding on the shillelaghs and made one with a Celtic knot carved design that was stunning.
The draw of the screen. There were more in use but could only capture these three surreptitiously. They weren’t paying any attention to me.
