It is 76.6°F and overcast. We are supposed to have thunder storms this afternoon and then good weather the rest of the week. I hope so. I need my yard killed so I can sow seed in late September.

You all have a good day. I have physical therapy at 1:30 pm. I hope they can help out with my back. I am getting tired of being a cripple.

Another funny:

Yes, it is bad here. Some mornings I see homeless people sleeping all over the place while walking to the bus stop. Homeless situation downtown is much worse. I'll walk downtown in about 2 hours and bet some homeless bum asks me for money.

Don't tell him there is loose change on the streets and at a car wash in Austin. Keep that a secret.

They read about all about that change that you find outside of that bar and at the car wash.

And wouldn't you know it. I walk downtown and some gal tries bumming one dollar and a cigarette. Me no smoke and have no money.

Never fails.

I don't really have anything to add for today other than it's Tuesday. Tomorrow will be Wednesday, the next day will be Thursday...then finally...FINALLY...it will be Friday, and the History Channel will be running Ancient Aliens ALL day!

When you see them approaching you with that certain look on their face (trying to make eye-to-eye contact), preempt them by quickly asking if they can spare some change.

 

[wildcatdonf]

It's official...new car (2018 VW Passat). Guard dog protected!
A big difference from the 98 Toyota Tacoma w/300k plus....including payment.

I love those Yorkies.

I'll try that in the future.

Hope all is well with the D-League. I like Chief's approach to shutting down street beggars. As I pass about a dozen between my office and the DC subway, I'll get a chance to try it out.

I had a couple smug middle class hippies -- the kind who look like they made it to 30 on daddy's dime and were in no hurry to leave that plateau -- stop me on the street today with the line, "Would you eat Rhinoceras meat?"

They were apparently fund raising for some lefty lash-up out to save Rhinos and other African beasties from hunters, or maybe they were from PETA. My response: "I've eaten camel and zebra, but no one ever offered me rhino. Do you have some?" Silence.

That may have been my only small victory today, but at least I wasn't shut out.

 

[wildcatdonf]

And congratulations on the big car payments.

 

[wildcatdonf]

I had a guy bum me once for $70.00 so he could pay his rent. Uuuuh, nossir,

Immersive sound via Dolby Atmos. If I had the room I might think about it. 12 speakers seems like overkill but I bet it sounds great.

Been crazy busy between work, youngest starting high school, the new babies in their way and all the other stuff I’m trying to keep up with
Have missed you all and hope you’re well

All is right in The League. Bev is back. We missed you.

 

[starchief5]

Anybody played marbles (we called them marvels)?

I carried them in my pocket and was always looking for someone to play with. In the other pocket was my pocket knife

Missed you by 8 years. I did American Graffiti in Paducah. Nice town to grow up in. One of my family works at an air reduction company on Husband Road.

Man made air reduction is a crisis! wheeze, cough, gag...

Ha, I was going to say something to you when I posted. Glad to see you stop by!

Same here. I had a bunch of marbles at one time. Broke my heart when I heard how much some of them were worth. Those and the old black and white baseball cards that made such a cool sound in my bicycle spokes. Woe is me.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F. We might stay out of the hundreds. Yesterday was overcast. Our high hit 94°F and coolest day since late July. I hate our summers.

Good luck. Hoping for a great outcome.

Good morning! Up early today for an 0800 tee time. Supposed to be a nice day with temps in the low 80's and sunshine. We've had some nice rain for the last two days, course should be looking good and playing easy today. Well, easier than it was when it was dry as a bone and hard as a brick. No telling where the ball was going to bounce.

I didn't cut any wood yesterday but I did decide on the dimensions that I'll cut the wood when I'm out there NOT drinking beer. Might be today because I emptied my refrigerator yesterday.

Hope everyone has a great day. I'll see you folks this afternoon.

I did that. Went barefooted to school too.

Good morning D League

Keeping an eye on the activity brewing over the water. Water temp is mid 80's which is ideal to strength a storm.

Meanwhile we are excited about Saturday and football season. Go Cats

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

It is 66.7°F and sunny. It started out real foggy and now the fog is a heavy dew. Supposed to be nice the next few days.

National Bow Tie day. I never got good at at a bow tie. One of the Harvard guys at work wore one every day, Noel Perry. I still keep in contact with him. He retired to central Pennsylvania.

Welcome back BKO

Good morning D, I have but one simple request this morning, that you say a prayer for my sister. She is on a plane this morning and will be in the air for over 13 hours. She is on a mission trip which I strongly object to, but I cannot argue with her or GOD on this because this has been placed on her heart to do this. I guess I am only being a big brother. This is her second trip there, also just pray for the whole group for safe travel and safety while there! Later D.
