Friday was my day off so we Sweetie and I hung out together.
We went to Sams where I scored a new Canon camera.
It replaced my hard working but crappy Fuji which died earlier this week.
I have a little nicer Canon that I use a lot but I always carry a smaller camera in my pocket a. I also carry them in races and I’m running in a 10k trail run today and I need to have a camera to document the race and provide a reason for my very slow time.
Afterward we went to the new Blue Rose Cafe on the Arkansas River. It is the hot place to be in Tulsa right now. I think the photo above is of the “Blue Rose.” And this must be her bikini.
It looks very uncomfortable to me, to say the least. Just studying on it a little I don’t think that it is a very practical concept. It is unique though.
The food is very tasty. This is their Blue Rose Special burger. It has blue cheese and bacon on it.
Afterwards we went to Whole Foods. We are smart enough to eat before we go there. That had some championship bunches of flowers for sale there. Pics were free though.
Whole Foods in Tulsa is the place to go to see things that are rare in Tulsa but common elsewhere. Like knit caps. Know what I mean?
What I don’t get is that the hotter the weather, the more people wear their knit caps. There was only about a third of the workforce wearing their caps at the store Friday and it was cold. Just wait until early August when it is will be 110F. They will all be wearing knit caps and flannel shirts. Can somebody explain this to me? I’m just a poor dumb Okie.
Eventually we went to pick up SuperPizzaBoy at school. The Occupational Therapist told us about a new gizmo that she had. A squeeze machine. Naturally I had to try it. WARNING, the pics below are not pretty sights.
I tried it on the minimum setting.
And I tried it on the max setting.
It felt great!! It is called a Steamroller Deluxe
Do you think that I might get one for my birthday?
How was your last day off? Hey retired people, you have days off also, don’t be kidding me.
We were at Sam’s on 71st yesterday. I scored a new Sony camcorder for $100 less than what my daughter bought the exact same camera for at Best Buy just last weekend.
I used to have a floppy hat that was trimmed in bottle caps. That was uncomfortable enough. I can only imagine what that bikini would be like.
I’m thinking that squeeze machine might do wonders for a person’s back.
I have that same Canon..it’s been a great camera!
I’m in love with the bikini, despite the fact I think it would be brutal to wear..lol.
Yeah, I don’t get the knit hats in the heat either..of course it’s freezing here, so I can’t even get my brain around warm weather just yet! I think for some odd reason people think it’s ‘in style’ even if it’s 112 degrees out…go fig.
I want a squeeze machine!
Well, the bikini might not be bad if you never had to sit down — not on me, of course, sitting down would be the least of my troubles! You’ve thoroughly stirred up my appetite with the special burger, I’m longing for a bunch of those gorgeous flowers and I’d gladly give up my last SS check to see you in the “squeeze machine”!!! Be worth every penny!! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend — you certainly got it off to a great start yesterday! Congratulations on the camera! Have a super run today!!

Congrats on your new camera. Hope you didn’t stop during your race to take pictures. 😉 As for the bikini, it makes me itchy and scratchy just looking at it. That squeeze machine looks torturous.
I think you’ll like your Canon! I have to say that it’s a bit cold here for me to even think about wearing a bikini. Brrrr!
Is this what is meant by “putting the squeeze” on some one?
What does the squeeze machine squeeze in our out? Looks like it could feel pretty good.
I like that little Canon. I am thinking it’s time to get the pocket model. There’s enough functionality on the little guys that it is more like taking a picture than pointing and shooting.
The bottle cap bikini? Nah. I’m sticking with the chain mail and knit cap. Even in August.
I agree, the bikini looks uncomfortable. The squeeze machine looks pretty uncomfortable, too.
Nice camera!
That looks like quite a burger. Yum! Did your new camera take the picture of the flowers–beautiful. Was the squeeze machine designed by Temple Grandin? I think you should try a cattle chute next. 🙂
Now you and Temple Grandin have something in common – the love of the squeeze machine.
Did you buy the bikini for Sweetie?
