I had to change my setting from dark to light because something happened that made it difficult to read topic headings. Dark blue against black is not too smart. I prefer the dark screen but but but
Some good news. Weeki Wachee Mermaids are back in the swim. It was shut down due to COVID but is in full operation now. The river was not shut down so you could continue to kayak but the mermaid show was. But Happy Days Are Here Again

Cloudy with temp in the high 40s...will top out in the upper 50s.
Wind, rain, and t-storms woke me up twice last night.....but all is calm this morning.
My 'ex' loved cats. Me....no. Her and my daughter (very young) snuck off one day and got a cat. I said it's your responsibility. Well, they fed it, changed the litter box, etc.....but did not get it neutered. Slipped outside, and you guessed it, before long we had a pack of cats. All outdoor cats....I said NO to the indoors.
One was a real pain. Got in the house one Sunday afternoon while I was packing for a business trip/flight the next morning. Went upstairs to finish packing.....the $%&# cat had used my suitcase for a litter box.
So....grabbed the cat....off to the car.....took it probably 5-10 miles from the house....and, well you can figure.
Looked like a good new home. Nice barn close to the road that looked like it needed some help in rat and varmit control.
About two weeks later. Saturday morning. Heard a familiar 'meowing' from the sliding door for the deck off the kitchen. Went downstairs....and you guessed it....he had come home. Oh well.

Years ago I visited the Savannnah River Plant on business...Here's a photo of the Crystal River power plant I snapped flying out of Orlando International bound for Austin two years ago. From what I understand, nuclear operations there have been decommissioned.
'The Savannah River Site (SRS) is a nuclear reservation in the United States in the state of South Carolina, located on land in Aiken, Allendale, and Barnwell counties adjacent to the Savannah River, 25 miles (40 km) southeast of Augusta, Georgia. The site was built during the 1950s to refine nuclear materials for deployment in nuclear weapons.[1] It covers 310 square miles (800 km2) and employs more than 10,000 people.'
Place had about 5 nuclear reactors at the time. I swear....there was green smoke that was coming out of one of them....gave me the willies. One of the reactors......
I've already heard that tune. Must be popular.
By the way, that cat that vanished for six hours yesterday? He almost tripped me at the top of the stairs today darting between my legs. He's followed me around all morning like a puppy instead of a cat. He's now curled up on the table where I work from home, looking me in the eye.
In other words, he's rubbing it in that he was hiding yesterday when I wanted to find him, and in my face today when I want him to get lost. Don't try to tell me cats aren't evil.

I'd be the one dashing, for the door!!!!!You should be dashing with all of those ladies chasing you and your wife looking on.
Well now that's just exploitation of women. I'm getting a petition together to have that place shut down for good!I had to change my setting from dark to light because something happened that made it difficult to read topic headings.

Some good news. Weeki Wachee Mermaids are back in the swim. It was shut down due to COVID but is in full operation now. The river was not shut down so you could continue to kayak but the mermaid show was. But Happy Days Are Here Again
Seriously though, I remember seeing the mermaids on a family vacation back in the late 60's/early 70's. As a young boy getting close to puberty is was quite a thrill.
It is a sunny 54.3°F here. Yesterday was a windy, but really a nice day for the most part. We got about 1/3 inch of rain in the morning, then sun. Late afternoon the wind picked up and I decided to strap down the grill on the deck. I open the door and a massive gust of wind and rain hit. Every planter was blown over, all the chairs rearranged. It even blew the cover of the drain on the gutter off.
My garbage container, the big one on wheels, was blown about 50 feet into the neighbors yard. It poured rain. By nightfall we had 1.41" of rain. Anyway the neighbors were all out reclaiming their garbage and setting the containers back in the proper places.
Spring in Kentucky.
On cats: I always had cats growing up on the farm. When we milked we had upwards of 30 cats. They were always outdoor cats. When I got married I got an indoor cat just in time to get my allergies checked and guess what I was allergic to cats. I gave Tiger to my mom and she made an outdoor cat out of him. I love cats I just can't be in a house with them. My next door neighbor, Sam, has an outdoor cat named Piper. Piper is a mouser of the first order. He is worth his weight in mice, the boy never stops hunting. Plus he talks. Every time I go out when he is in the area he talks the whole time. He will let you pet him but it is always on his terms. He is pure 100% cat.
You all have a great day. I hope to complete my part of the income taxes and get them ready to take to the CPA. Wish me luck.

I never liked cats and never had any before the three we have now until about a year and a half ago. The one I posted earlier showed up on my door step at about 04:30 one morning. I was drinking coffee when I heard some meowing outside and went out to investigate. There he was this little kitten staring up at me and as I got closer, he bowed up and started hissing but did not run. That impressed me so I sat down in from of him and talked to him a bit and noticed he was weak and tired so, I got him a small bowl of water and some tuna and he just went to town on it. I told my wife when she got up and we both decided to leave it outside and if it was still there when we got home from work we would go from there. He was and the rest is history, Pictures below is the same day he showed up. It was after we got home and still found him out in our front bushes.
You wouldn't believe the training and competition it takes to be a performing mermaid. You have to go through rigorous physical training and be an elite swimmer. Very few are selected.
Before Disney World and all of the Orlando attractions Weeki Wachee Springs and Silver Springs in Ocala were probably the most visited of all attractions. Everybody headed to the beaches would take a few hours and visit.
Jimmy Buffet had a concert here once and Elvis Presley loved to hang out.
Yesterday I was headed down U.S. 98 and saw a Prison work gang working on the road. When I was a little boy my daddy would use the chain gang to keep me in line. If I got out of line he would say, "son you better straighten up or you will end up on that chain gang." Buddy I tell you this, it was yes sir and yes mam' once daddy got done talking to me.
Reminds me of an old Johnny Cash song.

Speaking of chain gangs one of the most famous scenes in movie history was the movie "Cool Hand Luke" about a Florida chain gang. The car wash scene is classic to end all classics.
I know the lady very well in this news report below who donated a kidney to a co-worker. She's also a former co-worker from my days at Conexant/NXP Austin Design Center. After suffering strokes in 2009, she assisted my wife with benefits info and as a liaison between my wife and corporate office in Newport Beach, CA. Very unselfish of her to make the donation.

A Pflugerville woman donated her kidney in a cross-match exchange to help her former co-worker and potentially save several more lives.
"Hey, Lord... whatever I done, don't strike me blind for another couple of minutes.'
Watched Cool Hand just a few weeks ago. Hadn't seen in for years. Think it's on Netflix.
Strother Martin IMO was one of the best character actors ever. He was only 61 when he died in 1980.
To be safe try and keep consumption to less than 7 lbs/day,
We use that line at work a lot.
Cool Hand Luke is number 238 in my Bluray collection.
Now cord is going to get in trouble with his wife for making a panel of this.
Went out for a noon stroll and it is suddenly summer -- 79 degrees and sunny here. Sweated through my tee-shirt for the first time in a while.
Lot's of noise on Rafters about Texas coming after Calipari. I don't believe there is much to it, but people over there are riled up.

We had a boxer named Maddie (she passed a couple of years ago). We had a doggie door that led to a fenced in back yard. As you know, dogs love to play chase and on top of that boxers are known as the clowns of the dog world. Maddie would grab something she knew Jan didn't want her to have and parade around with her nose stuck up in the air and staring at Jan like she was saying, "Look at me! I'm hot stuff!" As soon as Jan reacted, she would head out back like a lightning bolt because the game of chase was on. She never did this to me, only Jan. Animals are smarter than we sometimes give them credit for.
I've not heard anything on local media, talk-radio or TV, about Cal to UTexas Horns. However, Shaka Smart to Marquette was unexpected.
I don't like racism; however, at the moment we here all sorts of things about how white people are screwing poor brown and black folks. I did not fact check this, but I know that a good portion of it is true. Please explain why the problems in Chicago is because of white racism:

Larry McMurtry died at 80. Man what I'd give to have as my legacy 1.) Lonesome Dove and 2.) The Last Picture Show, among many others.
I doubt anyone ever constructs a western that'll top Lonesome Dove, at least for me.
A favorite scene:

That was back when men were men and sheep ran scared.
I may have to bring those out and watch them again.

If you have the time -- and a lot of it -- and haven't read the book Lonesome Dove, you might enjoy that. The video series captured it as well as could be expected, but there are some rich nuggets of humor and western verity buried in the book that didn't make the screen.
Wow. 4 straight Women's SEC Volleyball titles? I thought 2.
Very happy we keep this young man in-state.

Saw that a few minutes ago. Neither do I. Beard will be their #1 target.
I'm an avid reader and Lonesome Dove is probably the best book I've ever read.
You are right, I show her every pattern I do and this one would be like, I don't think so!!!!!
Yea that and the young man committing to Gonzaga!!!!
