Absolutely beautiful morning here on the porch!! About 60 now...going up to the high 70s...and little humidity in the Buckeye State. Feels like Fall rather than Summer. As a couple of you say about your weather...'I'll take it.'
Not much going on today. I hardly ever do any yard work, etc on Sundays unless I have to. Was always taught by my parents that Sunday was the Lord's Day....a day of rest. So I would hate to go against my parents.. 😉
Looking at that picture of the old church sawnee....reminds me of a couple of my aunts/uncles houses back when I was a youngster who lived in S. Ky. Hot Summer day the dogs would always be laying up underneath the house. Guess it was cooler there than under one of the big ol trees.
Y'all have a good, safe, and healthy Lord's Day.

One of these days I'm going to go ballistic when we're having a family dinner and one of the younger ones (under 40) pulls out their phone texting/reading just under the dinner table.
Here in Ohio (and I have always thought that Northerners are rude...and getting worse) on a paved road/highway where the shoulder is rather wide...say 3,4 feet or more....they'll pass you on the RIGHT even if it's a two lane road. Especially if you're making a left hand turn. People in too much of a hurry to slow down/stop for a few seconds. Had a friend who got hit that way. Car in front of him was turning left, he wasn't... just stopped to wait, car coming from behind went to pass both of them on the right hand shoulder, car in front of my buddy turned, my buddy accelerated.... Idiots, just idiots.
Good morning D-League. Nice and cool in the east.
I’ve taken advantage of the cooler weather to start easing back into running after letting my arthritic knee rehab for a few months. My weight has been creeping up so it’s a necessary pain in the ass.
Our daughter is arriving from Austin late tonight. It’ll be great to see her for the first time since New Years week.
I hope you all have a great day.

Pipeline road is a 2 lane highway than runs through the middle of Saudi Arabia and I was in a humvee going to pick up some supplies when a car started to pass us on the left. Then another car started passing that one on its left in the sand while another started passing us on the right in the sand. Four across on a 2 lane highway all the while another vehicle was coming from the other direction. I told my drive to hit the brakes and let everyone by. Somehow, they all converged on to the lane ahead of us without hitting each other or the on coming car. Those Saudis be crazy.
Morning folks it is 71.1°F here and cloudy. I prayed for rain last night and got none so I am praying for rain today. I may get desperate and ask Cordmaker for some. The last time he delivered over four inches.
On folks up north being more rude than folks in the south; I generally agree with that and I think a lot of it has to do with weather and culture. In the south you move slower because of summer heat. When I moved from Louisville to Jacksonville in 1976 I notice how slow folks moved in Jacksonville. A few months later I was moving at their pace also. This is just antidotal; however, folks in Jacksonville were more friendly than in Louisville. Houston was more friendly than Evansville etc.
Cell phones: my kids and grandkids (real and step) live with a phone glued to the end of their nose. When I go postal they just laugh at the old man.
Say hi to your long lost daughter MdWildcat.
You all have a good Sunday and Happy Birthday Warrior Cat.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 67° and sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 82°.
Everyone stay on this Sunday.

This was on I-64 the other day, where the idiot was driving in the left lane. The semi in the right lane was going faster than them on a hill. You have signs posted all along the highway, saying keep right except to pass, and here they are driving in the left lane, passing no one.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F and clear. We received a passing shower late yesterday afternoon. Looking at 97°F for today's high. Possibility for thunderstorms tomorrow with highs in 80s.
Watching equestrian cross country right now on NBC. Those horses are amazing. Heh, sometimes they refuse jumping.
Chores and errands on today's agenda after a walk.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Aug 1 means that the AZ heat is half over. It seems to me that we have had more cooler days this summer than any in the 13 years I have been here.
IN honor of WC on his birthday.
Thanks for that. Been a while since I had heard that one. It is played at every retirement ceremony each post has at the end of every month.
Did not know that. This is the first time I've heard this song. Catchy tune and lyrics. I listened to it a half dozen times. I found it by looking up McArthur's retirement speech.
Should be called "Generation TEXT" ... so many of them are ingrates that also don't want to talk to people directly
Things you hear in church........
A Texan, A Floridian, and a Kentuckian all die and goes to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth. The Texan asks to call Dallas and he talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished, the devil informs him that the cost of the call is a million dollars, so the Texan writes him a check. Next the Floridian calls Miami and talks for 30 minutes. When he is finished, the devil informs him that the cost of the call is 6 million dollars, so he writes him a check. Finally the Kentuckian gets his turn so he calls Louisville and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished, the devil informs him that the cost of the call is $5.00. When the Texan hears this, he goes ballistic and asks the devil why the Kentuckian got to call Louisville so cheaply. The devil smiles and replies, "Since Andy Beshear took over, the state has gone to hell, so it's a local call”

Same down here chief. Florida seems a little cooler than it did in childhood. August and September are our big ones. Usually the hot, hot ones and most active in storms.
Hence the change about 10 years ago from 'global warming' to 'climate change'. A catchall.
This is not fake news. I lived in Clearwater in 1977 and we got a couple of inches. It snowed in MIAMI. I had an aunt that died in Kentucky that year and they could not bury her because the ground was too frozen to dig a grave. I don't know how long it was before they could.
I hope all had a great day. Been a busy one for me.
Oh, have a blessed evening and bask in any peace you can find. Be comforted knowing God is still on his thrown. God Bless you all...

What is real funny is driving in Korea. Trying to vacation in Korea, just many things in Korea. (Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my time in Korea.)
I laugh at so many things they do. Lots of bikes and scooters in Korea. Many deliveries are made this way in Korea. With snow on the ground they do not slow down (Many, not all.). I cannot tell you how many times I saw scooters spin out, bikes fall over, and bedlam occur simply due to not slowing down.
I saw roads with crooked lines painted. Just crazy things you'd swear were doctored for a movie.
Take trying to go on vacation. everyone goes on vacation at the same time. Go in the off season, the prices are the same. The hotels are empty but the prices are the same. I asked an owner one time of a hotel why he didn't lower his prices in the off-season? All he stated to me was, why. I let it go at that.
My Brother in Law... dude is beyond a Black belt in Tae Kwon Do. (May not be such a thing as beyond but he has some serious skills.)(We are the same age.) (That is supper he is holding.)
Yes, you see this correctly. This person is in the road on purpose...
Through the town.... Just an amazing place...(Try navigating these type curves in traffic or driving 25 or 30 MPH...Good Luck)(These curved lines are the norms and not the exceptions.)
I have tons more pictures but thought I'd share a few...

Good morning from ATX. Currently 76°F and clear. We received some rain yesterday as a front rolled through. More showers later this morning. Today's high might reach 87°F. We'll take it.
Round-table of panelists just now on local news discussing impact from UTexas leaving Big XII and effects on other Texas schools. Possible huge impact on Waco (Baylor) and Lubbock (Texas Tech). One panelist stated all is a moot point if no electricity to watch. Heh.
Monday, Monday....
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Our local weather report shows 71° and clouds with plenty of thunderstorms during the day. We are expected to reach 84° by midafternoon.. We are taking off for a few days to the East Coast, only 106 miles from our place here on the Gulf Coast.
The subject on the radio today is washing your hands. There is a right way and a wrong way so I trust all are well and washing your hands. The doctor just said if you go to the latrine you wash before and after you do your business. OK

Getting ready for kickoff later today....ugh....wait....this is August, not late September/early October. Only about 53 this morning so I got confused. High will get to about 76 they say.
Weird weather this year. Little snow...dry April...wet May (and very cool)...and temps for June, July have been all over the place.
Gotta find some things to do today. Not hard if I really try...or even halfway try.
Y'all have a good day.

Must be like eating a meal now. Who'd a thunk it. It's all in the preparation. We must plan to take a leak or the other. I will state it again, Soldiers "got" it rough...
I will repost a statement made from John Wayne on many occasions; "This is my Country and I'm gonna do good for it". My wish is that American's would take up this cause and mantra and perform it.
Oh, I do hope this day becomes what you'd like it to be in Christ. My prayer is that you all are surrounded by God's love to where you feel it. God Bless you all...
Good morning D, 61 here this morning!!!! Read Joel 1 also!!!
I really need to get started staining our deck again. Is restaining a word, spell check says no?
Bert they were calling for rain for us last week, but nothing doing!!! We watched it go south of us! Sorry!!!
I hope the D has a beautiful day!!!! Prayers for the D and all it's families!!!!
Looks like Muhlenberg county is the hot spot in the state now!

His reason was you need clean hands to touch your "junk". If they are dirty you can spread COVID to yourself. I am beginning to wonder what is being taught in medical schools these days. So wash your hands before and of course after. Use soap and scrub for at least 30 seconds.
He also said it would be a good idea to put on a mask when you use the bathroom in your own home. Even if all alone. This nation has a group of people going nuts.
You hear a lot of strange things on AM radio. So, Is you is or is you ain't
Yep, not even Cordmaker could get it done.
Night before last at 7pm we had some promising clouds but not one drop. The front passed through and not a drop.
It is a nice 64.8°F and bright sunshine and blue skies on our way to 82°. That is nice.
Sir,
That may leave a rash... (Oh, you were talking about your hands.)
Yeah but then it may count toward the statistics, or pay. Er, what???

Good morning D-League. Busy day, so just wanted to check in and wish everyone well.
I did a long walk in the woods this morning and the cool weather is still hanging around. I'll take it.
I hope it is a good day for all.
