thats what people get for over building. people want that house in the country but what they are doing is taking away natures habitat.have had deer break into schools and peoples houses looking for food.down in florida people make alot of $$ removing gators from backyards.
carl hope you can see.heard some storms around chicago knocked out the lights.we had some rumbles go by at work but the lights stayed on.now we have fog rolling in so some schools have the high schoolers in school and the elementary schools on delay.as far as tuna goes sorry charlie I'll take a blt for lunch.
stay safe

Good morning...
Boy, something sure smells fishy in here this morning- are we getting ready for the fish fry alittle early?

Oh, yeah, we got it. We live in the Green Valley area of Lombard, the name of which should raise a red flag in heavy rains.
Had a shower in the evening that dropped about a quarter inch. Added another six tenths to that at about bedtime. Then, after we retired, we got a third storm that dropped about 3.6 inches in two hours. The middle storm was one that caused this computer to reboot, but that was all. The last one prompted a major cleanup here in the dungeon. A few boxes were the only casualties, but the place is now cleaner than it's been in a long time. Some straightening needed after floors dry.
Chicago's official total rain for the month is a little over an inch and a half, so O'Hare didn't get what we got. Our "bug" shows about 3 inches total, but we had 4.4 inches in our rain gauge this morning, all from yesterday. There are supposed to be more storms this afternoon and evening.
Going up for some OJ/DMD right now. Didn't get much sleep last night.

In New Albany, In, there was someone walkingon the tracks. I believe the report said that the person was taken to the hospital.That's two in 24 hours, something we don't see or hear about too often in our area.Guess that's about it for right now: people are beginning to ring our doorbell, to sign up for Tuesday Produce. See you all later, and have a great morning.Message From:The Cook
I've been up since 5:45 this morning. It was 57 degrees when I got up this morning and it is supposed to warm up into the lower 80's later this afternoon, that is not too unusual for this part of the country. It looks like we will have a nice day here, the fall colors are at their peak with brilliant reds and oranges.
I had interviewed for a full time custodial position with my neighborhood hospital two weeks ago, and it simply did not pan out for me. The job went to someone else. So I will be submitting a couple more applications for employment out there this afternoon.

SJ, I thought I saw two points on some of your more recent portraits!
Or were those just ears?

I was going to suggest roast turkey and dressing (starting to look forward to Thanksgiving), but unless the diner has the latest in fast cooking appliances, maybe we should request something else- Hamburger Helper?
Ladies and gentelmen, This is by far and away the longest week of the year. It's the same as every other week, 60 min per hr, 24 hrs. per day, 7 days. per. But this week is the week before my vacation, that automaticly makes it the longest week of the year. Don't worry though, next week will make up for it as it will surely be the shortest week of the year. Anyway this will be my first vacation in 2 years. So, what am I going to do? Go railfanning of course. My dad and I are going on a two part railfan trek. First part is going to be spent out in the Powder River basin and on the Overland in Wyoming. Then back to California for a train ride from Roseville to Dunsmuir and back. Like I said, this is going to be a looooooooonnnnnnggggggggg week. Tic.....toc.......tic................tok.........................tic....................................

I'd love to Brian, especially sience it looks like there will be a forum member gathering in Lincoln land. But I've got a train ride to be on and I don't want to miss it (hint: it aint Amtrak).

Sold. Now on to cleaning the house...
Sharpening fangs? or borrowing a can opener?
If Mookie needs to see a dentist this week, she can come to my house......I've got a Black & Decker 3/8 reversable drill!!! "Open wide, Mookie!"

Pity it isn't Amtrak. Chances are that they would be running so late that you could attend the get-together and still catch your train with time to spare!

Joe, we just finished waxing the dungeon floor a few minutes ago. When it dries, I have furniture and boxes to move yet before retiring for the night.
Problem is, we're supposed to have a repeat performance tonight. According to the Weather Channel, tonight's storms could bring another two inches or more. Ground's saturated from last night. As of now, nothing's showing up, but a lot can happen in a relatively short time. Temperature still has about twenty degrees to drop to reach the forecast lows.
We took a walk out this afternoon. There were several places where high-water marks were in evidence along the streets downstream--I mean downhill--from us.
What a busy week I've got on my hands!
Today I had a quiz in geometry, world history and chemistry. There is an essay due in English class on Thursday. There is a chemistry test on Thursday and a Spanish test on Friday. Who knows what other "fun" they'll come up with before the week is over.
Carl - Looking at radar I see a nice looking supercell just northeast of La Crosse. It's moving southeast and I think if it stays on its current track it would pass quite near you, but maybe just off to your east. Here in Omaha our already slim rain chances have totally vanished with the passage of a cold front. There are more chances later this week, though.
I'm off to do some essay writing. TTFN.
Willy
As I'm leaving for work this morning (driving--too stiff to bike!), we have a current temperature of 74, with a forecast high of 66. That's what they say! Guess the cold front hasn't come through yet--when it does, we'll get the rain, and we're under a flash flood watch until noon.
Dungeon looks good, though!
good morning
carl it is nice and quiet here for now.juice and coffee are ready to go.ahh whoever suggested the 3/8 drill for mookie teeth watch out.
hey cw I found a contest for you. seems in porter maine they have an annual fry pan toss contest.the lady in the picture tossed her fry pan 40 feet 2 inches!!!I know mookie has a large range of weaponry.maybe mutt can tell us your range???
going to go mow now.

^ - I heard my name being dropped several times.
Need to set a few facts straight.
Tin ankles need not worry - he is bringing a body guard. He did some fast talking and convinced his wife to go for a drive in the country - ending up in Lincoln. Hmmm - crossing state lines. Want to ponder that.
Carl & Pat are also crossing state lines, several, but the drive is a good one.
And Mudchicken and Boss Hen - a beautiful drive going east at least 3/4 of the way.
Poor Ed & Aimee - having to cross (shudder) Kansas! A very nice state for friendly people, and lots of - I say - lots of flat, flat, flat land. 1st hand experience having driven it a few times myself. (before I got a driver)
Willy has his own driver and a quick trip down the big road.
13 so far for lunch on Sat. Shades of Halloween.
CP - I have enough gold in my "teef" that I am very careful who opens my "mouf". But I must go in for a quick filing - so they look like this: (VVVVV) (more shades of Halloween!)
Joe - mowing? Is that anything like.......
Moo (ing)
