The Day Has Been Called Off Due to Heat Concerns... & Another Joke

Good morning. It seems people are 'on to me,' and they are calling me during my normal writing times. I've taken seven calls since I made my first post this morning. Gee whiz, it's a wonder I get anything done! The weather people are advising to stay low and slow today. The actual temperature may... Sign in to see full entry.

Running on Empty, Running Into The Sun, but I'm Running Behind & Joke

Good morning. I'm here early both because the dogs got me up earlier than normal and I have to be in Valdosta at 10:15. It's a 30-minute trip, but there is this odd little train crossing just west of I-75. There is a massive lumber yard there, and for some reason, the trains don't have enough space...

Hurricanes, Dogs, Breakfast, and Me & A Joke

Good morning. It's a balmy 82 degrees right now (at 9:50 am EST), heading to a mere 92 degrees. Not bad for August. It's the beginning of the 'hurricane season,' so we will begin to have rain, usually only briefly, nearly every day until early September. Thirty minutes after it rains, you can't tell...

Good morning. Today is gonna be a warm one, but not into the upper 90s like last week, thank goodness! Maybe 90, but with typical midsummer storms always popping up, things should be tolerable. The first storm with the capability of becoming a hurricane of the season is brewing in the Atlantic, but... Sign in to see full entry.

Back Story To A Story... and of course, A Joke

Good morning. I always check the Weather Channel page for our area first thing in the morning to get an idea of how to plan my day. If it's going to be blistering hot, I'll look to work in the morning and late afternoon. Today looks to be quite cool for Madison, with on and off rain, and a high of... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Always Something! (and a Joke)

Ever have one of those days where everything looks like it is going to be just perfect... and then it isn't? Oh yeah. No matter what we had planned for today, somebody or something got in the way. Three different people dropped in unexpectedly, and then the minister from across the street asked if I... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. We got down to about 68 last night, which made for some great sleeping weather. I'm beginning to feel better after my heart infection. My WBC has dropped to almost normal at ~ 8900. It had shot up to 20,000+. As soon as I am done here, we'll head outside to watch the dogs play and grab... Sign in to see full entry.

Rain, Editing, and Dealing With Safety... & A Joke

Good morning, sports fans! It rained on and off all night, and it looks like that pattern will continue throughout the day. I'm glad our property is on the south side of the last of the Appalachian Mountains; otherwise, we would have a massive pool of standing water like they do in the block to the...

The Untold Story and Perhaps A Giggle

This is a pull from my FB page... and yes, I aimlessly wander over there as well. To set the timeline, this happened about ten minutes after I signed off here. V I wasn't going to post this, but I was admitted to the CCU unit in Valdosta secondary to another heart infection 36 hours or so ago. I've... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. It's kind of a nice, lovely morning here so far. It's 81, with a chance of hitting 90 later this afternoon. We are hoping just to relax today, sitting outside with the dogs and letting the world go by. I think we have been 'hard at it' for the last three weeks, seven days a week....
