I think I'm going to pack up and disappear for a bit. I'm sick of people who have the sense of 'I work harder than you think I do so I have to be uber serious and take each argument to the nth degree'. Enough is enough!

Fact for the day:
Apparently some people are so crabby at the world that they can only achieve happiness by being rude about what makes others happy. How sad.

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").
Here's the lunch menu for today: leftover chicken and dumplings, and leftover pork chop abracadbra, along with BLTs, grilled cheese sandwiches, choice of fries or onion rings, and there's plenty of birthday cake left for dessert. (This time of year, I'm gonna have to stop making full size sheet cakes!)
You all stay as cool as possible this afternoon. We're going to do the same here in Louisville. Heard that our heat index just may make it up to 100 (double yuck).

Good for you!!!! I'm glad that you enjoy learning new things.A mind is a terrible thing to waste.Keep learning and reading books!!!
My prayers are with all those in Minnesota who were affected by that bridge collapse.
We have this one bridge across the Missouri River here in Omaha that has been around for a long time. Sometime last year they banned all trucks exceeding a certain weight limit from crossing the bridge due to the fact that the bridge is weakening. Regular automobiles are still allowed across it, but I'm always a bit nervous when I start going across. I guess the Minnesota bridge gives me an even better reason to be nervous.
The rain missed us last night so now it's just warm and humid again. UP is doing some track work in Omaha so I think I'll go look at that before it gets too hot out.
TTFN.

morning
yes we had some matt time last night when we saw that on the news.when he asks where when and why etc etc. we are praying for all the families involved up there.even part of the bridge fell on the train on the one side of the river.didnt know if it was carrying hazmat or not.going to be alot of people looking for answers.just another triple H day today.I'll make some lemonade and go sit on the porch with mookie and cw.hopefully i wont snore too lound if I fall asleep in the rocker.
Good Thursday morning, everyone. Dan, thank you so much for putting the coffee on, etc., and bringing in the doughnuts and bagels! Think I'll grab one of the chocolate cream filled long johns, and head out to the garden for a few minutes. Still early enough, that it should still be cool out there. If anyone wants, they're welcome to join me in the garden. How about it, Mookie, and anyone else.
So very sad for all those people up in Minnesota. I'm very glad people got the childen off the school bus. It makes you wonder about all bridges, if they are as safe as they're supposed to be, etc.
Thanx Dan - it stayed and sat. Just about the right temp too.
I watched the national news at usual time - nothing on bridge - must have happened right after the news was over. Caught it on Nancy Grace instead. Anyway paper here sez 7 - radio sez 9 killed. For having the fastest communication in the history of the world in 2007, our local news and papers are always behind or non-existant. They don't report on 1/100th of the things I hear that I think are newsworthy on my scanner. Or...which is even worse....what I get from the Omaha News.
Best have another cup of coffee - going to look into the rest of the forum and figure I will need fortification.
Joe - send a little "Matt time" - time when life isn't so complex.

Pretty scary situation up there in MN.
Morning everyone. Donuts, bagels/cream cheese, juice, and coffee are up. Mook your mug is freshly topped off and waiting for you. I told it to sit and stay. Let me know if it moves!
Been watching the news of the bridge disaster in Mn. Can't help but to akin this one to
one that happened Dec. 15th, 1967; The Silver Bridge going from Pt. Plesant, Wv. to Kanauga,
Oh. over the Ohio River Collapsed killing 46 people. The ongoing one is on I-35W, the one in
Wv., Oh., was on U.S. 35. The last I heard/saw was that 7 persons had perished, lets hope
that there aren't any more. That's 7 too many for something that should not have happened.
Thoughts and prayers go to ALL concerned.
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!

The college of your choice may require you to take a basic PE class sometime during your tenure there. It's not that bad of an idea, IMHO. I won't preach but staying active is a good thing.

THUD!
The weather conditions here in Sioux Falls are about the same. I just got home from work and right now we have a temperature of 90 degrees. The web site of the Weather Underground has indicated that our humidity is at 55%, but it feels like it is a lot higher than that. It is just absolutely ghastly here. There is a buildup of black thunderclouds in the south end of Sioux Falls and I heard some thunder on my way home from work, so maybe, just maybe we will get some badly needed rain. On a day like this, I would welcome anyone tossing a water balloon at me or soaking me with a garden hose!

Good afternoon!
Still trying to quell the uprising in the waving thread. Someday I'll get a brain and give up on it.

Algebra 2 Trig, Physics, AP Laptop Literature, Spanish 3, Theology, and a few others that I've forgotten. It's going to be a busy year!
EDIT: Just remembered Laptop AP American History as well.
Happy Birthday Nance!
Little elder humor:
I talked to my old boss who is about 4 years older than I am - she now lives in Florida and said for recreation and outings, they go to the doctor's offices every other day! She said at least they have a nice place to recuperate afterward (Florida vs Nebraska!)
