98 degrees, feels like 103 in the shade, 10 degrees hotter in the sun...
Normal thunderstorms in the afternoon, sea breeze meets hot air blowing in from the plains, will rain from 3 pm till 6-6:30...
Plan on grilling ribs, a green salad, ice tea, ranch beans and tater salad with Blue Bell for desert..will sit out tonight to watch the shooting stars and listen for the refineries to explode....

Hope you all are enjoying the fish fry tonight. Haven't eaten anything:
tummy's upset; guess the humidity's getting to me. Doing something
I don't do much: drinking water. Usually, my water intake is in coffee
or tea. Put a couple of water bottles in the freezer to get nice and cold.

Went fishing on the river today with a friend. I caught a couple bluegills and a little sheepshead. I had what felt like a huge fish but the line got snagged on a tree in the water.[banghead][banghead]

Good morning everyone! Feeling better this morning; also feeling hungry!

Breakfast/brunch will be: turkey bacon, sausage patties, biscuits & gravy,
cantalope & watermelon, cereal, oatmeal, toast (cinnamon toast this morning),
juice and coffee or tea.

Everyone take care out there today, since it's to be another warm one
today.

CW- You must have had some soup yourself. Still a bit shakey myself, but something worked, the fever is over. Maybe Wily was right, just "train lag". LOL That usually hits me worse eastbound. The 14 to 16 hours making the shift from Central to Eastern time will mess anybody up.

Cool 70 degrees and showers in the forecast hear. Should be some relief on the way for the Indiana contingent and perhaps it will even cross the river.

Ed. Exploding refineries. Did I miss something while in the Amtrak Alternate Universe? I am afraid I do not have much sympathy for the senior management at PB, at least not the Managing Director. (That's Chairman and CEO in British speak.) That should be Micro Managing Director the way they operate. The one on the job in the mid-eighties was responsible for my job at the coal company being abolished. I go to a high risk of running out of gas before I stop at the green sign. I'm sure they don't notice but it makes me feel better.[:D][:D]

If you heard on the news, in Markham, Ontario, police were called to a closed store in a mall and found dynamite, grenades, military ammo and bomb making material.

I guess Canada is now going to have to be extra vigilant on terrorism as I'm sure along with others that the target was Toronto.

Thease are certainly scary times.

Mushrooms, bacon, black olives, and pineapple--and a view of the tracks from out the window. Now that's a pizza experience! That's what I did last time, and I would have done it again tonight except that I'm apparently coming down with something less than pleasant. I hope I can sleep it off (just how close did you get to me, Jay?).

How about some nice chicken noodle soup and some 7 UP (Diet of course, my favorite when sick). We all wish you a speedy recovery Carl. [:D]
