Ray: They could have used you at our local McD's this morning at breakfast. They, unfortunately, didn't get one order right. They had two lines - one to get the food and the 2nd to return it either for lack of part of it, or cold. I stood back quite awhile and watched them (having been in restaurant business.) It looked like a sale in a bargain basement - pure chaos. I ended up with only 1/2 of one order, no silverware, 2/3's of two other orders - but....I got the coffee right and with extra cream and sugar for the Driver and the Old Engineer. I did so want to jump in and help them out! They just needed a little, teeny bit of organization somewhere between the kitchen and the cash register.
Good luck on the job! There isn't much out there right now.

The "Water Buckets" I'm familiar with; (for Firefighting & National Guard helicopters)
generally only hold several hundreds of gallons of water .....with the rain that we've
had the last two days, it would take a month (or longer) to fill a bucket!
Would be very Happy to send it otherwise.

My interview this morning with HY-VEE went fairly well for me. I sat down and talked with a very nice gal who's name is Penney. The only problem that I did have is that when she asked me to give her a discription of what I do at Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, my mind kind of went blank for a moment. I did tell her that I kind of see myself as a team player who is more than willing to help others do their jobs. Penney told me that they are looking mainly to hire part time people and I responded that even though I am looking for full time work, I would be happy to accept any part time work that HY-VEE might offer me, and one of the last things that I said to her is that I want to demonstrate that I really want to work, and she wrote that down.
I think I will be going back to this store tomorrow morning to basically let Penney know what kind of hours I will be available to work. I was not able to give her a definitive answer as to what kind of hours I would be available to work. I should be able to work something out between HY-VEE and Wendy's if HY-VEE offers me employment. Penney did tell me that there is a possibility that I will be called for a second interview.

Murray, you are so right: let us all take time today to remember our military personnel who are currently on active duty!!
Ray: good luck on the interview!!
The first round of our July 4th grill-out is now underway. We have two "bars" set up: 1, the warmer bar, to keep the meats warm, and the 2nd one is strickly for all the cold foods and desserts. They both have domes over them, to keep the insects out of our food.
We're in between light showers/drizzles for now. Although, it looks like the clouds could open up at any time. Everyone, enjoy your holiday meal, and the afternoon.
Good Morning Cafe-goers.
Happy 4th of July to one and all.
Hope your holiday is a happy, healthy and safe one. Please keep our Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen in your prayers and they fight to ensure we continue to have the ability to enjoy this special day in our countries history.

I've got a couple cousins in Grand Lake, Colorado who are praying for the outcome of this interview, and I could use all the prayers I can get! If anything positive comes out of this job interview, I will let you all know of it later.

One afternoon I was standing on the patio outside the student lounge, watching a rainshower pass. You could see the line in the parking lot - rain on this side, none on that. Pretty amazing.

Larry, that is pretty amazing; one of the best ones I've seen over the years, is while I was still in the National Guard and flying; was seeing a rain storm over a lake, it was raining on one shore, but quite dry on the other.
What was really Awesome, was seeing Both ends of a Rainbow at the same time!
Ray, very Good Luck on the interview, hope all works for you!

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
.....64 plus degrees here in central Indiana with overcast skies this morning. Looks like possible rain at times today but not an all day rain. Calm, no wind.
Just seems to be a typical 4th {weatherwise}.....So often this is the typical 4th weather here.....Cooler, and a bit of rain. So far, I've kept the windows closed....Don't know what the humidity is outside. Will find out in a few when I walk down the driveway for the paper.
Starting tomorrow, we're to get warm.....and humid.
Quentin
Good morning! I hope the rest of you out there are all having a good 4th of July weekend. At the present moment we've got 59.7 degrees here in Sioux Falls, the wind is calm and it is shaping up to be a pretty nice day here. I have to work today, but I'm not complaining.
Good Friday morning, and: HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO EVERYONE!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA
Mookie and Ed: you have picked the menu today, and I'll get right on it! I was wondering if you all would want to have a grill out today, or the regular Friday Fish Fry. Now, I know!!
There will be: slow barbequed brisket, burgers, hot dogs, brats, grilled corn on the cob (and is there anything besides real salt and butter?), pork chops, fried chicken, black bean salad, regular potato salad, and Mexican potato salad, tortillas, avacado slices, sliced red tomatoes, cole slaw, baked beans, plenty of iced tea and lemonade, watermelon (have several in the walk in cooler) and in the freezer is several gallons of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream. Guess I need to also get busy chopping nuts to put on top of the hot fudge topping. You all will get everything to eat that you've ask for today!
Meanwhile, how about some breakfast? On the warmer bar: bacon, sausage, pancakes & waffles, and some blueberry and real maple syrups to put over the pancakes & waffles.
Coffee, tea and juices are ready and waiting.

Only the east side of Omaha really got nailed. At home in southwest Omaha, we only had some sprinkles and you could hear the thunder in the distance. Downtown got dumped on with hail. Kind of like what Larry and Quentin are talking about.

92 and humidity, of course, this weekend. But hey - It's July! Early Happy 4th to all. I am going to go find my earplugs. The dynamite seems very close by our house.
......Yes, I know it really does happen.

I prefer "Weather Geniuses"... Seriously, guessing is a form of art for myself and my fellow meteorologists!
We've got a nice couple of days coming up. Clear skies and lower 70s for the fireworks this evening, clear skies and upper 70s for the fireworks tomorrow evening. Couldn't be better.
Eolafan, you don't have to worry too much about the spaghetti: it's low fat, low sodium, and cholesterol free. That's why I get it. I like spaghetti too much, to have to give it up, along with the other goodies I had to give up after having the colonoscopy last year.
And, I've set out some fresh, hot spaghetti and garlic Texas toast on the warmer bar for supper tonight, along with the veggies to go with it, and the salads and desserts are on there also. Don't worry, the salads are on ice (and there's more salads in the cooler).
Well, so far, no rain here yet. It does look like it could start anytime.
For lunch and tonight, I have fixed the following:
Italian spaghetti with garlic Texas toast, and fresh garden salads, along with Caesar salads.
And for dessert, there's still plenty of the cakes, pies and cobblers left, along with plenty of ice cream.
Morning
Jim please follow doctors orders.mookie might be looking for the engines that were coming home yesterday from nw ohio.The rain has moved off. Time for some chores this afternoon.Saturday looks like matt and I will be in the corn city to watch trains.
joe
....Yea Walt, I'm sure your Ohio River contributes to your humidity too.
Jim, please don't be like Justin Wilson, who said he couldn't spell cholesterol, so he
didn't worry about it; Well....................Follow your Dr's Orders!
Quentin, don't forget Kentucky (this area anyway) is noted for the "High Humidity" this
time of year also!
Where's Mookie today?! Hiding, AWOL, or just plain Lurking?!?!
