Sounds like my wife. At the dermatologist office he asked me if I had any areas of concern. I said, "Well, there is this spot behind my ear that you might need to take a look at." My wife interjected, "Oh, that's nothing." Turned out to be a skin cancer growth that I had to get surgically removed. I have often referred to her as Dr. Gayle since then.
It is worse for me Chief. My wife is actually an RN - as a second career -- in a surgical hospital. I could fall out of an airplane into a boiling volcano, crawl out to the highway and get run over by a tractor trailer and she'd say, "Will you quit complaining? I saw five people worse off than you today."
 
75.2°F and 80% humidity. It may be one to stay in doors. I have two guys coming to work in the yard today and I am already feeling sorry for them.

I got a steroid shot yesterday for my back. The back still hurts today. Yuk.

Wife and I got shingles shots last Friday. Our arms are still sore. Have to go back for the second dose in six months. We had shingles shots about 5 years ago but they concluded that the old shots were ineffective. The new one is supposedly 98% effective and is highly recommended for old folks.

Good morning D League

Listening to the radio and the morning show man host is complaining about the weather. He is on his global warming, earth ending in 10 years rant. He came down from New York and his wife is from New York. Hey Mister Radio man you are living in Florida. Yes the temperature is 80° and the humidity. is not Arizona so you are going to sweat. If you are healthy you will sweat and there ain't a thing you can do about it except move. We are getting rain right now and we can expect more rain with a high temperature of 86° .

Speaking of talk shows Groucho Marx had a program "You Bet Your Life" where he interviewed the guests before they played his game. Legend has it one of the female guests said she had about 10 or 12 children. Groucho's response was "I like my cigar too but I take it out every once in awhile" I miss Ole' Groucho. .

A lady had just given birth to her 10th child in a Catholic hospital. A priest making his rounds stopped in her room. "So this is your tenth child eh? The Holy Father must be very proud of you." "But Father, I'm not Catholic" she replied. As the priest walked down the hall, he turned to the nun and said, "Horny old bitch, isn't she."

We were talking about that on the golf course Saturday. I guess I'll ask my doctor about it soon.

Raining here too. It must be raining all over the world.

Ohs no! :scream: Man Made Global Wetting! We're all gonna drown!:weary:

Reminds me of the woman that got on the bus with 3 sets of twins. The driver was amazed and asked her, "Lady, do you get twins every time?" The woman replied, "No. Hundreds of times we don't get anything." ;)
 
Scary when it's so close to home.
Yeah, we live in a high-crime area. I can recall at least 4 murders within 1/2 mile of here over the past eight years. Armed robbery at a nearby taco stand just a few weeks ago. Huge drug bust either last year or year before about 8 doors up the street.

Life is good.
 
Good Wednesday morning D League

It is 78° with a high forecast for 86° and 40% chance of rain. I have a clogged up head and got it a couple of days ago. My left ear especially. It might be swimmers ear.. I am home treating it with an alcohol and vinegar mixture that I am pouring in my ear. Just another nuisance as we pass through life.

Trust all have a great day and stay safe Austin. What is going on over there?
 
I just received in today's mail the highest electric bill of my life. And I have solar heat for my water My wife has to have the thermostat at 68 and you pay for that in Florida. I could have the AC taken out tomorrow and would not miss it.

I have to have it, but we set ours on 71, and doesn't give us huge electric bills.

My wife keeps our thermostat at 71°F during the day and mid-60s at night. Our mid-day interior temps hover in the mid-70s. The AC is constantly blasting.

80°F or so is fine by me after going out in 100°F+ heat, but I can't stand the chill at night.
 
Coyotes are indeed a nuisance, but normally not dangerous. Highly intelligent, they avoid human contact but enforce canine rules with their teeth. A majority of so called attacks are in defense of their den and pups. Find the den, capture the pups, then use them for bait to live trap and remove the adults.

Feral dog attacks on livestock blamed on coyotes don't solve the problem either or protect the livestock. Coyotes normally forage on small animals like cats, chickens, rabbits and new born animals (fawns and lambs). They're absolutely content with scavenging trash. In Arizona, we protect Pronghorn fawning with aerial gunning from helicopters. The Coyote removal is short lived as the population numbers return after 6 to 8 weeks via immigration. During that time, the fawns strengthen and then can run 50/60 mph to escape and are fine. Wolves will run Coyotes effectively removing them but usually not available as an option. Poisons will work but kill more non-target species like dogs than Coyotes. That's why we shoot from the choppers. I hate saying this but wildlife management officials are often not as smart or adaptable as the Coyotes and inept at Coyote management.

 
I just watched The Pianist again last night. A lot of Germans better hope that no God exists, or at least didn't mean it when He said "Vengeance is mine. I will repay." What a godawful time in world history (and that's omitting the equal atrocities of Japan). I do think that most Germans at the time were complicit. Many of them rejoiced in the victories (but not so much after the tide turned) and personally benefited from what they did to the Jews and the conquered peoples. I don't think "I was just following orders" is gonna cut it with God.

I'm reminded of a powerful scene in Gandhi where a British officer asked Gandhi, "You don't think we're just going to walk out of India?" Gandhi's reply was, "Yes. In the end, you will walk out, because 100,000 Englishmen simply cannot control 350,000,000 Indians if those Indians refuse to cooperate. And that is what we intend to achieve: peaceful, nonviolent, non-cooperation - till you, yourselves, see the wisdom of leaving."

An entire nation is guilty if they stand by and let a relative handful of their people take control of their government and lead them down a path of destruction.

We are facing this challenge in our country today.
That is a great movie Starchief, one I've watched more than once myself. Adrien Brody was excellent in it too.
