The "Pickles" cartoon from October 4th is eerily relevant....

Yeah, Larry, Walt and I both get "Pickles" cartoon in our inboxes from Arcamax. That one is definitely saved in file! And no, none of us feed the squirrels around here. We'd probably have even more of them around here, if we did.
Lunch today: leftover chicken & dumplins, beef tips w/noodles, and garden salad.
The only rodents we have around out here are mice, and I think that we have none in the house. Every now and then, I have to set a trap or two out, but it has been some time since I have seen evidence of mice in the house. I discovered that chocolate is deadly to mice, especially if you use it to bait a trap. We have many birds, including a hummingbird or two, but if we want to see squirrels, we go in to Salt Lake City--where roaches thrive (none here). Ricki had plenty of experience with them in Manhattan; she quotes her first husband as saying that Manhattan is built on a solid bed of roaches.
I, too, appreciated "Pickles" yesterday. Earl and Opal certainly illustrate the life of older people.
It was chilly out (about 40) this morning, but I was expecting it, so I stayed warm. We had a heavy shower a little while before we left for church yesterday, and we drove through another one on the way in, but it was barely sprinling by the time we got to the church. High expected today is 54.

If Nigel sees a squirrel, it's WAR! Doogie will just egg him on. Before I put all those stamps on Nigel's skinny butt and ship him to Louisville, are you prepared for the crater in your yard where your tree was? Squirrel will run up the tree - Nigel & Doog will just dig a hole and shove the tree in.)
......Yes, and "Pickles" really is a pretty funny cartoon.

Mudchicken, I'll let Walt know when he gets home. He's gone to the library, should be home shortly. And Brian, do you have any tin shoes in a child's size TWO? I just might be interested in them! (BTW, mudchicken, we don't have a tree in the back yard anymore. It got cut down a few years ago, and there's about a 4 ft. high round stump of a 'table' there now: the only remnant left of the old oak tree.)
I've got beef tips w/noodles on the warmer bar for tonight, and there is plenty of garden salad in the cooler. Also on the warmer bar: sloppy joes, fries, and nice warm hamburger buns for the sloppy joes.
Sloppy Joes and fries are perfect for tonight.Thanks CW.Got the yard mowed and stuff put away in the shed .Going to get the feeders out this weekend.We have 3 stumps from pine trees in our backyard.Might make a landing pad for the birds for the winter.Time to get ready for work.
stay safe

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. No Tuesday Produce today, and am I glad, even though I've had to stick my head out the door about three times to tell people we weren't having Produce today.
That's o.k. Brian: guess I should just have a couple pair of tin boots made for me, just to be on the safe side, right?
Coffee, juices and other beverages are freshly made, and hot water is on for hot tea.
On the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, oatmeal, toast, scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, sausage (links & patties) and biscuits & gravy.
What would you all like to have for mid day meal and supper tonight? Do we go back to Tuesday Mexican Fiesta, or would you rather have something else today?

Crater in backyard would be fine; we can get the "Pied Piper" to "Lure" all those critters into said hole and have it "bulldozed" over! (Da Boyz got to make sure they're out of the way.)

Walt, your comments of the condition of I-65 thru Lousiville now has been helpful. Some family members of ours spend the Summer here, up from their Florida home and are about to head back down {Thursday}, and I had commented to them what I was reading on here.
They contacted {believe it was triple A}, and asked about it and was advised to deviate away from going thru Louisville at all costs. So your comments did help.
Since no one has given any opinion/request for the meals for the rest of the day, and since it's a rainy day around here, I've decided on the following for lunch and supper menus:
1. Sloppy joes w/garden salad and fries
2. Hamburgers and cheeseburgers w/fries, choice of salad or cole slaw
Desserts today: chocolate cake, pineapple upside down cake, pound cake w/sauce, and carrot cake w/cream cheese icing

Glad it was able to be of some assistance; according to today's newspaper, they're saying it could take longer than expected too, as the sub-surface needs to have some extra work done to it also. (not stable enough to support the road.)
Somehow, I don't think that particular "thing" has changed that much since the road was built, I think some engineers made a mistake.
[Yeah, I-65 is about the fastest, most direct connection from Chicago to the "Southern Climes" ; where do the Family Members "cut off" for Florida? Hang a left at Mobile on I-10?]
School went well today. Raining here, and 64*. BSA meeting tonight. CW, burgers sound good!
locomutt where do the Family Members "cut off" for Florida? Hang a left at Mobile on I-10?]
The route will change right here in Indiana......Which means, head for Cincinnati from here down south out of Muncie and connect to I-74 and over to I-275......and I-75 and then a choice at Knoxville....Continue on I-75 or hit I-40 after getting around Knoxville. We used that route many times {missing Atlanta}, and so on...After I-40, on to I-26 and on to Columbia, S C.....and right on fed. route 321.....on down to near bottom of S C , out on I-95 to get down across Ga.....That's not too far, then off I-95 near Jacksonville and over to Fed. route 301 and so on.....
afternoon
been a busy day.raining here in nw ohio.Tommorow matt has a field trip to sauder village.We saw Carls boxcar on the Maw.Hopefully it got unloaded.Cw thanks for supper.
Sloppy Joes! Yum! Maybe we should rename them - sloppy Petes or sloppy Gerts....
Uh - Tree - get your water wings and your rubber duck ready. Just checked the radar.....

Joe and Justin, yeah, it's been raining here in Louisville since about 10:00 this morning. Right now, it's down to a drizzle, supposed to be totally gone from our area around midnight, 1:00 in the morning. Current temp is 66, with a very good breeze out.
Mookie, I'm glad to see you back in here! Believe it or not, you are missed when you're not here!!
I've gotten more burgers, cheeseburgers, sloppy joes, fries on the warmer bar for tonight, and I've replenished the garden salads and cole slaw in the cooler.
Everyone enjoy your supper, stay dry, and everyone take care.
MookieUh - Tree - get your water wings and your rubber duck ready. Just checked the radar.....
Showers and thunderbumpers on the menu for tomorrow.
Need Sunday to be halfway decent so we can get all that chicken cooked up and sold.
Monday's looking kind of wet, too, and I'll be working on the railroad...
If the rain now is an indication of what our winter is going to be like, I'd better get the snowblower tuned up...

Good evening,
Had my second atmospheric sciences exam today. This one was pretty challenging, but I think I did well on it. The exam was over several topics, including pressure, humidity, and the formation of clouds. The most interesting terms from these chapters: Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate and Moist Adiabatic Lapse Rate. The dry adiabatic lapse rate is the rate at which a dry parcel of air cools as it rises -- 10 degrees Celsius per 1000 meters. The moist adiabatic lapse rate is the rate at which a parcel of rising air cools once condensation has occurred -- 6 degrees Celsius per 1000 meters. The adiabatic lapse rate goes from dry to moist once the air parcel has risen and cooled to the point where the temperature of the parcel is equal to the dew point, thus allowing the formation of a cloud. And that's your weather trivia for the day!

And that's your weather trivia for the day! Goodness, Willy! I had not thought of adiabatic processes (except on rare occasions) in more than fifty years. As I recall, we had some consideration of such in my physical chemistry course. If I recall correctly, I even ran one experiment which was supposed to be adiabatic; maybe I should look at my lab notes. For the information of all who are saying, "Huh?" I quote from the Free Dictionary: ad·i·a·bat·ic play_w2("A0087200") (d--btk, d--) adj. Of, relating to, or being a reversible thermodynamic process that occurs without gain or loss of heat and without a change in entropy. [From Greek adiabatos, impassable : a-, not; see a-1 + diabatos, passable (dia-, dia- + batos, passable from bainein, to go; see gw- in Indo-European roots).] How about this: "...without a change in entropy"? Johnny
Had to look in the dictionary to find entropy. We didn't talk about that in the lecture!
Willy - I think I've observed that while looking at skew-T's... I did rawinsonde while I was in USAF.
As for the chicken - I tried delivering some to Ms Mook once, but it didn't make it. Something about a day on a warm porch for a couple of halves of BBQ's chicken that just didn't work out somehow...
