Hey Don. Late bd wishes. What was the name of that drive-in next to SouthTwin? FCC.
No injuries, thank heavens. Totaled the guy's SUV. Here's the story.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F. Temps should climb into the mid-90s here today.
I'm up early for the purposes of getting some work done. Must jump on the missing money site to file a claim for my daughter about a missing dividend check from ATMOS Energy. She sold her stock just as the check was issued about 5 years ago. Not a large amount of cash, but enough for two great meals at a nice restaurant plus a movie thereafter. She can use the money.
Apparently my ex-wife (her mom) and my daughter's boyfriend (father of my granddaughter) got into a helluva argument when he called one morning around 2 AM last weekend. He was drunk. My ex don't play. She lit into him pretty good. Heh.
Back later. Y'all behave.

Good Morning D
Happy belated birthday Don!
I've been praying the same since the early 1960s.
Family is returning to our lives. I'm still here in Lville off Hurstbourne tying some things up. Schedule is generally flexible and I'm willing to meet up with D-leaguers.

66.0°F here with bright sunshine. Predicted to go to near 90°F late this afternoon.
I have Massachusetts company today. Looking forward to that. I have not seen them in two years.

That is a very real possibility. If I can get away to the Pennyroyal you are atop the list.
Good Saturday morning D-League
The rain appears to be moving out but it did bring some pleasant temperatures and cool breezes.. Low got down to 69° and our high will be in the high 70's. Might hit 80. .I saw on the local sports report that the Florida Gators have already started Fall football practice. Their first game is August 24. Looks like they are getting a week head start on us because we play on the 31st. Anyway the sounds of pads a knocking is welcome. I am more than ready for football.
Trust all have a nice day.

That would be great! How long you in town for? I'm tied up this weekend but any time next week will work for me. Hopefully others can join us.I've been praying the same since the early 1960s.

Lots of action already today. As I walked toward North Lamar Blvd around 6:15 AM this morning, I noticed a police presence at the corner of Lamar and Provines where the food truck (taco stand) is located. When I turned left on Motheral Drive, my initial thought was I'd finally hit the motherlode.
There, in the middle of the street. lay roughly $300 in various $1 - $20 bills scattered about. Green order tickets were also mixed in with the pile. Immediately, I put 2 + 2 together, gathered all the bills and tickets, and without second thought, headed towards the food truck located roughly 3 doors down around the corner. The business had been robbed and a shot fired. Luckily, no injuries.
Two Austin Police Department SUVs were parked at the stand with blue lights on. Upon arrival, I asked for an for officer. The money and tickets were folded up in my hand. When the APD officer walked up to me, I said, "sir, I found this money and tickets one street over. I would have kept it, but better to do the right thing." I handed him the money and food tickets. The family who runs the stand are Latino immigrants. They've operated the business for a couple years. I believe their daughter was interviewing with an officer as I walked up.
The APD officer, business owner and I walked over to Motheral Steet. I showed both men where I found the loot. The officer took a photo of my ID with his smartphone and I gave him my phone number. I walked off and shook the owners hand as he searched for more money, and wished him good luck.
Later during the morning, I found a total of 25 cents.

As I was reading this I kept thinking what if every American would do this? You are a good man and a blessing. A star has been added to your crown. Thanks for sharing
I have no idea.
Went in for my annual physical yesterday. Nothing has obviously worn out since the last one. At my age they sneakily start watching closely for signs of dementia. I said I think I would notice the start of any decline. *She said that I would not notice but that those close to me would. This starts my rounds with the specialists. Coming up in August: Kidney, Heart, Dermatologist, eye exam, new shingles shot. Do this every year. Whew.
*She said one of the main signs of impending dementia was babbling on with random strangers about nonsensical and irrelevant stuff and getting riled up by unknown people while talking about politics. I told her not to worry because I would never do that.

If you're going to be here until Monday I can wait and visit along with 82, but if not I can come to Louisville today or tomorrow.
If you guys get together, please snap a photo and post it here.
Another funny from facebook:
Austin, you're a good American.
I'll second that!
- Good Morning, Wildcats.
- 82º in Johns Creek. Really nice morning. All week. VFR. Scattered clouds so not too hot,
- 2 mugs of Dark Magic down. Maybe 3. It's gooooooood
- QB, I and Lola all got clips yesterday. Lola got a message with hers.
- We are moving to Forsyth County on Lake Lanier.
- Be safe, everyone. Take care.
- As you were.
- Carry on.
Second.
I'll bee buzzing around at least another week, maybe more.
Looking forward to this.
Are you retiring?
Wednesday is the only day that I have something to do, golf, but I can easily cancel that if need be.
Don I trust you had a great birthday and congrats on the move. I lived off of Exit 15 Bald Ridge Marina Rd for over 20 years. I was the first house there. One thing you will notice is a huge drop in property taxes. Lake Lanier is a wonderful place to live and a great lifestyle. I have so many friends there and still keep in touch
You are about to have one more. Fulton Tax: $5,000.00. Forsyth: $700.00

Plus you will find a huge drop in crime. In Forsyth you can shoot and ask questions later. And people know not to mess around
Afternoon D (for you eastern time zone people)
Came in to work this morning, planning to leave at noon.
Not much planned today ... or tomorrow. Got my yard work completed for at least 5 more days.
Wish I could make myself pull the trigger & meet up. According to Google, I'm an hour & 47 minutes to Fourth Street (for reference only).
The redhead works tomorrow from 2-10...
Congrats on the move to the lake Don and impending retirement.
Be that as it may. Enjoy the weekend!
