Ol' Roosters Life and Times

There were more celestial fireworks last night in this area. It was not like Sunday night, but nonetheless we had more lightning and thunder. I did the same as I did Sunday night. I sat up for a bit to take it all in. I do enjoy a good storm at night. We have a chance for more storms today and... Sign in to see full entry.

What a celestial display the sky put on last night. There were bolts of lighting to light up the sky in every direction almost continuosly at times. We have not see that in a long, long time here. I sat up in my extra bedroom with my two black Labs and watched for a good while. The clouds hung low... Sign in to see full entry.

I am going to write a song and title it "I Got The New Time Blues". The time changed, jumped forward one hour, from "standard" time to "daylight savings" time three weeks early this year.

So please help me!! I need about 5 more hours of sleep to go along with the 3 I got last night. I attended... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, I wrote "winnings" in hopes that I would hit the big lottery. I checked already and I did not have the winning numbers, but I don’t see anywhere if the lottery was won. I can wait until Friday when it would be over $400 million. Several teams pulled upsets in their conference tournaments in... Sign in to see full entry.

Monday has come and gone. It was a pretty good day. My immediate boss was not there so I had to do a few things he would normally have done. All in all it was a good day. I look forward to another one today. We wake up to 41° right now. We should be down to 38° or so by the time the sun rises.... Sign in to see full entry.
