bike cops for kids

 parks and rec had an event nearby tonight, it included a big van that said 'bike cops for kids'. i asked one of the employees about it and was told it does more than give bikes to kids, sometimes it is helping with maintenance as well as giving helmets. or even free books. they gave me a slushie treat, thankful it was for more than just the kids. same is true with getting a slice of pizza from domino's, chicken pizza. not sure if i had that kind before. i noticed some kids were given baseball cards, one kid said he liked soccer more. i looked at the cards and when they got to a cardinals player i said i didn't know them, it was geronimo pena. did some searching online and it said this player was with the cardinals in the 1990s, didn't play there for long, around 300 games over 6-7 seasons. the police department also had a therapy dog, and i asked what breed, was told german shepherd, border collie, and chowchow. a movie was being screened later on, it was 'tom and jerry', but i didn't watch it. i went home as i wanted to check email. 

   it meant also doing some more online surveys for airline miles. i hadn't done any for a little while due to being out of town for 2 straight weekends. but i have ramped up the number i have done as i still want to cash out at a thousand airline miles for this month. at work a colleague showed up as he was having some i.t. issues when working from home. my boss asked me to order a spare maintenance kit and was told in a response that spares were not available, but there were other options on ordering. my boss said order it for the alternate check printer as there are two. i hate having to call the help desk as often as i have lately and having to keep my boss in the loop about it, including when i was called about it late in the day. sounds like a business line has a spike in check volume again, so it meant another big supply order. this meant i heard the doorbell ring twice near the end of the day, somebody was dropping off payroll forms. in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 15 cents. so i have met the next save-up goals of not only a can of beer, but also laundry money for the weekend. for the evening meal i drank a can of schell's beer with it, so there is one beer waiting, a modelo. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when penny walks out of an audition, and sheldon is let back on a project. it was followed by the one where leonard has a dream about eating people. after work i went to the family dollar in my neighborhood and got three items. i needed some sheet protectors and while there got a box of cocoa puffs cereal, and some pop-tarts.
