D-League

Howdy D-League. Hot, humid and overcast in the east. The cicada song has become a constant -- two weeks it has rarely stopped during daylight hours and easily dominates other environmental sounds like bird songs or cars passing. They must think I'm a tree, because they make a direct line for me when I'm walking and love to light on my legs or back or neck. I discovered two of them high up on the back of my shirt this morning -- I think they were trying to mate.

I hope all is well for the D-League. Have a good day folks.

Overcast and about 70 in the Buckeye State...high is only supposed to be 74. Good chance of showers all day so its a bit muggy.

Hate those roundabouts. Years ago all these small towns had them, but they were then called town squares...some towns around here still have them. But the 'roundabouts' must be the new thing with road engineers. We were at one 4 or 5 years ago in a suburb of Columbus. Very, very busy intersection...so why?
Saw a couple of cars that got tired of waiting their turn...that just floored it. Came within inches of causing a crash.

Y'all have a good day.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 69° and overcast, with thunderstorms and a high of 74° expected later today.

Everyone stay safe on this hump day.

Good Wednesday morning, hump day if you are still working for the man.

We have a current temperature of 71° and sunny skies. Chances of rain today are no better than 11% at 3:00 PM. We should get up to 87° about the same time.

I smell sausage frying in the pan, we are starting the day off right with a good breakfast. My favorite meal of the day. Coffee is good and I just finished Jeremiah, Chapter 4. I see a similarity in Israel at that time and America today.

I trust all are well and in good health. Have a roundabout day

My first exposure to roundabouts happened in England, 1984. Definitely different navigating those features in a left-hand drive automobile on the left side of the road. Even somewhat fun.

I noted in 2010 some towns I formerly resided in Germany adopted roundabouts at intersections. Sorta makes sense over there, I guess.

Fast-forward to 2014 or so and roundabouts began appearing in a quiet Austin neighborhood my wife grew up at intersections. More like combination speed-bumps and bizarre-looking traffic diversion than roundabouts. No room for wide, sweeping turns.

Leave it to American traffic engineers....

I got accustomed to the roundabouts while living in England......they rely on everyone respecting the rules........that is why they no longer work in this country..........respect for the laws/rules of the road.........

There was a prophecy by a pro-Trump, conservative minister a few months ago about 'insects' invading D.C.
Now, was it a true word from God...or did he put 2 and 2 together knowing that this was the year of the cicadas?
Saying that....in my neck of the woods (literally) haven't heard one peep (or whatever screeching sound that is) and have seen none.

So I'll go with the prophecy that D.C. is a swamp of corruption, etc...God's fed up....hence the release of the locust. 😉

I fixed a Cornish Hen last night, not sure which way to fix it, but I used our Dutch Oven, melted butter in it, then cut up 2 onions, then put whole carrots on top of the onions, brown sugar, then put the Hen on top of that and cooked for 1-1/2 hours. Mrs. M thought it was delicious and wants to cook it again soon.
Any of the D, fixed it like this?

Well, I guess the cicadas ain't all bad...In my younger days I made many, many of those junkets either on the "Zoo Plane" as we called the press plane, or, when my name would role up randomly as a pool reporter, on Air Force One. I was never a full-time WH reporter, thank god, but during the Clinton and Bush 2 eras got pressed into service from time to time. You are basically a glorified stenographer. And yes, the WH press contingent was overwhelmingly liberal and pro-Clinton, and anti-Bush.

I don't know if they still do this -- it's the kind of thing Trump stopped -- but they used to mail everyone who flew on AF-1 one of these certificates. I got a bunch of them somewhere.

Sounds good cord. I grill them every once in awhile. Them little boogers are getting pricey.
I love candied carrots, or whatever one calls them. Little brown sugar, butter, maybe a bit of honey.

I think RAB's/circles are great, but that is way messed up. BTW, in MA they're known as rotaries. Had them in early '70's already when I went to school up there. Also BTW, it's difficult to find a stop sign in England.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F, cloudy, steamy and hazy. Humid. Today's high tops out around 96°F. Heating up again.

This afternoon after work I'm heading to Hop Doddy's for a few beers with colleagues. Plan on riding city bus. We're slowly returning to normal.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Having a power button failure with mine so, I have kept it on 24/7 for the last week or so. Bought a new one the other day and will eventually start using it after transferring all data from this one.

Good Thursday moring

Sausage is frying and the sun is up. Our temperature is 75° and wind South South East at 4 mph with a humidity of 82%. Chances of rain are 15% and the high will reach 86° by midafternoon. That is a nice beach day or just boating around.

How many slept in the back window of the car when you were a kid. No seat belts and the cars had a lot of interior room. I had a brother and sister and when we were traveling and getting sleepy I had to go to the back window since I was the oldest. Is that child abuse today? Am I entitled to get reparations?

I trust all have a great day and are in good health.
