Whew! I got an e-mail from Rex saying Flo had gone bankrupt.
I was afraid we were going to have a government run coffee shop there for a while. Looks like Flo's still doing OK though. Maybe we should all pay our tabs so she survives.
Jeffrey, it's good to hear that your mom's condition got upgraded. It will be tricky for the next couple of days until they know if there was any brain damage. I'll keep praying she makes a full recovery.
Corey, fifty college kids at a party in your rented house? I'd have some pepper spray handy. I hope they all behave themselves. If they start hauling in kegs, then it's time to haul out the pepper spray.
Unfortunately, seeing the wife's sister naked is rarely the criteria for how much effort you're expected to put out.
Andrew, good to see you back. Compared to Amtrak, I'm sure your train travel was pretty close to on-time. Amtrak considers it good if they are less than eight hours late on any long distance run.
Sandy, I've been watching the weather out there. Pretty early start to the monsoon season but Colorado can always use the rain. That's nice that you are taking care of that lady from church while the family gets a vacation. Sounds like you should have become a nurse.
Rex, I see you found your way here too. Looks like a pretty good batch of storms firing up in the Tuscaloosa area. I never really thought about it but getting a new roof when there's no rain is a lot tricker here than in California, where it doesn't rain at all from June through September. I had those profile shingles put on the house in California and it's worth the money. Not only does it look nicer but the glue tabs are closer together. After about a month in the sun, it forms one monolithic surface. You'll loose the roof before you lose any shingles. Sounds like you had some good family time. Ford reported today their sales were still down 24% in May over April but up 11% over last year. Considering that they hardly sold any cars a year ago, it's not hard to have a year over year increase.
Phillip, sorry, but it's not Friday yet. Check back in three days.
Chris, not to worry, I notice that Flo has installed pooper scoopers above every booth.
The furnace is really on here. High was 98 and the low was only 72. The dewpoint is creeping up but, so far, all the storms are up by Rex's place with just scattered buildups here. I hope we finally get a few drops as things are starting to wilt now. I don't if dogs can be mentally ill but this dog we're babysitting is not right. Never stops yapping and whining and, no matter how many times I take her out, she will come back inside and promptly take a dump somewhere in the house. She has also developed the habit of dragging cat poop out of the litter box for snacks.
Even Dianna, who loves all animals, can't wait for Monday to come so we can return this devil dog.
--a monsoonal thing came through earlier
I saw on the news that several of our Congressman are asking the same questions and want to investigate the viability of all this.
