Floor's holdin' and I haven't played poker in a week and a half. Will rectify that this weekend.
In case anyone is interested in my avatar pic, it's a wallpaper shot from adultswim.com, from the Trigun series featuring Vash the Stampede. I was thinking of using the Cowboy Bebop wallpaper, but decided I'd get in trouble with that one. Have been watching the Trigun series on DVD, it's very good for Japanese anime.

Hey! Careful switching that tank car of CFDMD! Oops, too late--it just burped!
My Bug is currently showing 93 locally, down from 94 a little while ago. On the way home I passed a time-and-temp thing that read 102. I had the car today, but will bike to a dinner served in air-conditioned comfort. SJ and J(ay)--you know the place! You mountaineers and true Midwesterners (and cheeseheads) can push that front in our direction--how about some rain tonight?
The problem with coffee cups the size of water towers is that the escalation won't end. You'll have to increase the size of the water proportionately to the increase in the number of 1.6-gallon flushes in the ladies' room. Texas Ed doesn't come in often--I understand that the Rio Grande has been coffee-colored recently for a reason!

Evening All,
The Orange Creamsicles are in the freezer. I made sure to bring lots of them for those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting up with the cold front yet.
Catch you all in the morning!

I'll take two of those popsicles!
The ol' weather station here at the house only got up to about 91 today, but the dewpoint has been in the mid-seventies - even the varnish on my kitchen cupboards is sticky!!!
Then there's that line of thunderstorms bearing down on us out of Canada right now. If it holds together, I might as well get my gear together - we'll be running "thunderstorm" calls tonight (wires and trees down, etc).
Yep - weather radio just blatted. Svr Tsrtm Watch until 2 am...

We had a brief but heavy thunderstrom here about 6pm. Lightening struck the spire of St Andrews Catholic Church causing a fire and bringing out the troops. Structure looks OK, but there is probably much smoke and water damage. Should make the news at 10.
Temps now down to 84. Humidity is so high a SCUBA would be handy.

Well, that was much ado about nuttin'! The storm more or less broke up as it passed over us, and is now gathering strength again as it moves southeast.
My trusty weather station registered a whole .04" of rain and a wind gust of (brace yourself) 15 mph.
There was enough wind some places to take some trees down - just got back from moving one out of the road. The Amish who live near there will have cut it into firewood by tomorrow night... On the way to the tree down, passed a spot with lots of leaves on the ground. That's an indicator of either a good gust of wind or some hail.
Time to raid the cooler for a bedtime snack. Freshly wash sheets await!
Sniff! Obviously you all know a rain dance that I haven't mastered. We were threatened for two days. All we got was 4 drops on my arm hanging out of Millie watching a coal train go by. It was down to 74 with a humidity of 76%. Yes it was hot (107' at one time earlier) but it was like AZ heat - very dry. Didn't mind it at all - but then - I am a houseplant and stay inside.
In the blink of an eye, we will be complaining about ice and sub-zero temps. We need some new material here people. Let's see - we can't do politics, religion, sex, diets, arguments, .....
I know!
Pillow Talk! (Is this too close to one of the above no-nos?)
Got a new, cheap bed pillow. I literally slept like I was on sleeping pills. Will have to buy a couple every few months, since after about a month - they look like Aunt Gert's hanky (flat). I think a lot of our aches and pains are caused by sleeping on a bad pillow. Anyone know anything about feather pillows beside the fact they are expensive? Do they hold their shape or go flat like the rest?
Resident "feathers" may have some enlightenment - or not. Maybe he just sleeps in his truck!
Off to check out the wildflowers in the garden. Need some posies for the table.

I think he sleeps in the truck out of safety and speed concerns…its harder to get in the truck, and the truck is faster than most cats!
I have a down filled pillow, great on the neck!
It will go flat also, but it is simple to fluff it up, chunk it in the dryer for about five minutes.
And it shapes itself to your head and neck just right.
Forget that Swedish foam stuff; give me soft and fluffy any ole time!

Can't really comment on whose feathers are best in a pillow. Prefer to rest the old beak on the pillow.
Can't sleep in the truck. I'd only get trampled by my furry co-driver (Gus). He sleeps when the truck is going over 35 MPH..... Below 35 and he is headed to the window to see what's going on outside (determined by the sniffer on the end of that long black nose).
mooks: In regards to flying low and racking-up all those frequent driver miles, I'm still trying to head east. I find out this morning if I go or wait another week. Sunday I get on the big people hauling bird and head to Nora's backyard. (After what Joe found wandering around lost in his backyard, I think the Nebraska Border Patrol - Yellow Peril Division will be out looking for me. The guy in charge of that thing will also be in Nora country.)
Morning All,
Not much to report. Had 80's and a lot of rain again last night. Beautiful Sunset on the backside of the T-storm, too. Unfortunately, couldn't find anything worthy to put in the foreground before the light was gone. Oh well...if we get another round tonight, I'll be a little more vigilant.
Glad to see that the front that dropped our temps is starting to do the same for some of the rest of you.
Well, I must be on my way. I hope you all have a great day. TTFN!
Dan - if you ate all that - you will be lucky to be awake for your final!
CW - good book. As usual! I like it that the cats always come out on top!
MC - drop me an e - I am here tomorrow until noon CDT. Or if you want the personal touch, you know the #'s. Maybe the operator of the expensive machine wants to give you a ride? (show offs)
All: The cool will be short-lived. It is back into the 90's here for the weekend. But for the 10 min it was here, it was nice.
Coffee was good, but Joe & Tree will need to bring in lots more (ahem) kitty litter......
Ah...all that bacon woke me up just fine! Did well on both tests. I should know in about two hours since it's summer and not too many exams to grade. Only 4 more classes until graduation! YAY!
It's about 78* here today. It's just right. Since I'm in such a good mood from being done with classes I'll make dinner! Anyone have suggestions?

You may have noticed a couple of covered hoppers on the siding behind the diner....
We'll have to work on a shed so we can park a side dump inside - much easier to take care of the "housekeeping" that way.....
