Jambalaya for supper

With crawfish pie and file' gumbo? Washed down with something from a fruit jar perhaps?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Tried out the new weed torch on the patio. Wasn't too impressed, but maybe it will work better when the weeds are drier.

We had so many problems with CVS messing up RX's - we transferred everything to Meijer Pharmacy

Our insurance used to only allow us to use CVS. I need to see if that has changed. If so, I may change to an entirely different pharmacy. Otherwise, I am just changing to a more convenient location.

Just got a notice on my Citizen app about a person locked inside a vehicle. How drunk would you have to be to not be able to figure out how to unlock and open a car door from the inside?

I went to a Dan's Fish Fry this evening.
I do enjoy going to them !

Door locks malfunctioned?? I was once locked inside my car but it was like 20 below zero and the locks were all frozen. I was trying to get into the car to get it started to go to work and nothing was working to thaw the locks. I had a LTD station wagon at the time, and the only lock I could get to unlock was the hatch. I got it open and climbed in thinking I could unlock a door from the inside and kick it open...which caused the hatch to slam shut with my keys still in the lock on the outside of the door. The kids were little and were watching out the window of the apartment. I had given them strict instructions not to come outside until I came to get them because it was so cold. I had power windows so rolling down a window was not an option. I was panicked...before the days of cell phones. I was pulling the door handle and kicking that door with all I had until I finally got one to open. I remember the looks I got when I got to work late and told them I had been locked in my car....

I guess I should go shower. It must be 150% humidity. I am drenched in sweat...hubby wants to go out to eat so I probably should clean up first.

Well, I guess I could see that. But it's 80 degrees out now. And even with power locks, there's usually still a knob to unlock the door, and failing that, most doors unlock automatically if you pull on the door handle to open them. At least in all the cars I've owned.

I'm not sure how the newer cars work...LOL

Well, this was in an apartment complex near me where there are frequent reports of gunfire, so I'm guessing the average IQ in the complex is fairly low.

I heard a call over the scanner the other day of a 30 something reported by roroommate as unresponsive, face down in kitchen for 3 days.. I'd find a new roomate.

I found out the other day with our car that the door locks are 100% electronic, save for the driver door you can lock/ unlock with the key from the outside.

That's normal on newer cars, but can you still unlock them from the inside?

Yeah, I think the front you can, but there is lockout on the rear doors.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Yeah, some vehicles have that as an "anti-kid" lock. Susan's van is that way, but it can still be deactivated from the front.
