Afternoon, everyone.
Steve, that really sucks about your friend getting caught up in this mess. We've had a few similar scandals here. It's obviously a lot cheaper to dump a dead animal than really cremate it and just substitute some fireplace ashes. I hope the police get him good for such shoddy behavior but that won't help your friend get back his investment. Too bad there are people of such low morals all over the world, it seems.
Chris, better that they close those bridges and fix them rather than having them collapse like the one in Minnesota. Looks like that low in the Gulf is really cranking up so you should get some good rains. I've already been to Punta Gorda. Nice for diving and fishing but the girls wouldn't get much out of it compared to the giant
outlet mall in Destin.
Jeffrey, I hope they get your tanker watertight again soon. It's tough to be in a rural fire district with no tanker.
Phillip, glad you made it though another semester of school. Those are some pretty bad looking sidings. I can't even see the tracks the hopper is apparently sitting on.
David, how is the fire that was burning near the entrance to Yosemite? The trouble with those summer thunderstorms in the foothills is that they are usually dry but the lightning starts a whole new round of fires. I like #21 on your list. Probably describes most of us.
Howdy, Old 97.
Phillip, have a good attitude about the future in-laws. Some of them can turn out to be OK.
While all of you up north are swimming in rain, we are still sitting here and roasting. It's 97 with a dewpoint of 71. Perfect conditions for thunderstorms but they are all down south today. It looks highly doubtful anything will make it this far north...again.
Oh, well, we are about to enter the best times for tropical storms so maybe we'll get something out of one of those. Sure doesn't see like we're going to get rain any other way.
