Stay out of the pizza restaurant kitchen and that won't happen. Those people can make pizzas without your help.I've still got dough on my metro card. Forgot about it.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 74° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring thunderstorms, with the potential for heavy rainfall and a high of 81°.
Everyone stay safe on this hump day🐪.

Well, the saga with my wife's family continues. SIL with her daughters came in Sunday from Florida and neither my wife nor her sister have contacted each other. Have not seen each other in a few years. She came in to help her mother clean out the house that burned and remove what they wanted to keep but, nothing has happened yet. The temp has been triple digits and will be 105° today. I don't know if they have been there yet to see it but if they did, they may have changed their minds whether to salvage anything. 1st two pictures below are of the garage which did not burn and part of the living room which shows all of the cat food bags (some still with food) that was in the house for years. She (MIL) is a hoarder and the quintessential cat lady. Next two pictures are of the burned bedroom and outside of the house. Owners did not have insurance and my MIL told them she will continue to pay rent (she is afraid they will take her to court since she let the house get so bad).
My wife had years ago offered to have the whole house cleaned out and we would pay to have everything fixed but only if her mother would allow us to get rid of the cats. Nope. She has been paying rent there for over 10 years while not living there. NUTS!

74°Good Morning D
Very little in-store for today and I may take a little time to visit my County Commissioner to discuss the primary election a few weeks away. I am interested in his opinion of certain individuals running for the School Board. He owns a very large gun shop and military surplus store and is very conservative. Since the Parental Rights law was passed the LBQTRSUVWXYXLETSGOBRANDON crowd have decided to flood the elections and attempt to put their people on the school boards. A few names have appeared I am unfamiliar with. I need to know about them.
The alphabet loonies have filed suit in four counties attempting to overthrow the law so kids K-3 can be taught transgender and gender changing and to call each other by stupid pronouns. You have to be on top of what is going on in schools.
Today's weather continues as most July days do. In mid afternoon we have a 50% chance of heavy thunderstorms that blow over and are replaced by sunshine. It is 73° and our high will get up to 88°

The only suggestion I would have would be take a bulldozer to it and level the place. I am surprised the fire department attempted to put out the fire. I would have been tempted to just let the whole mess go up in smoke.

I am not qualified to make this statement but to me that looks like someone with a mental illness inhabited this "dwelling".

Good morning D-League. Another great day to be breathing the air, feeling the sunshine, seeing the splendor of America, whichever part you are in.
My walk from the subway to my office takes me past some of the Smithsonian Museums and the National Archives. I'm basically walking down Pennsylvania Avenue, looking at the Capitol Building. I don't always appreciate what I'm seeing, but today I did, thinking about the people all the way back to the days of Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, both Roosevelts and so on who have walked the same path.
I hope all you have a good day and stay out of the heat.

What's for a tourist to see in DC that you can't walk to in 10-15 minutes once you're at the mall area? I mean the idea of going anywhere else there never entered my mind.
MdW55,
I was always in awe of that place. (Not the people there but the place and the people who carved out what is this country.) My wish is to never lose the reverent feeling that comes over me when I am there or even think about what it took to start and build on what we have. Founding fathers and then some. It took God's hand to create what was created.🙏 I will stop but I could go on and on and ...
Just a small start of what there is to revere in DC...
Small sampling of sites to see
- Use pistols at short range. More fire power and less reloading.Endeavor to Persevere...
- Keep this fire going. Keep an iron on it red-hot.
- Anybody gets hit, slap iron to it. That's the fastest way to stop the blood.
- What's all that paint about?
- It's my death face.
- You know, we're sure going to show them redskins something tomorrow!
- No offense meant.
- None taken.
🤣
The breakfast of Champions....
Use this in my coffee along with a crystal or three of sea salt (Thanks again for the tip of the sea salt from a poster in this thread.)
The coffee, made this way, to me is pleasing to drink. (I liked my coffee previously but this way is the best version yet...to me..)
(Oh, the above version of coconut milk is the only pure version I could find. The rest of the milks I saw that had coconut were blended with something else, like almond milk or oat milk. I am not an organic buyer unless that is all there is.)
My Darling and I did not have a Little Caesar's Pizza last night... A large carryout cheese pizza with light sauce..... We did not............. well....

Then on the days that I planed on mowing my yard it would rain, then the sun would come out and it would be a sauna.

It is 81.0°F now and is overcast and we are to go to 90° with only a 60% chance of rain. We did not get a drop yesterday.
Yesterday I paid to have my yard mowed for the first time. I am glad I did not die young but it sure hurts not doing your own chores. I got rid of the walker yesterday and graduated up to my cane. My movement is not as curtailed as it has been the last three weeks since the fall.
I get my hair cut today as I was supposed to have it cut the day after I fell. So I will loose some weight today!
On taking the Metro in DC: I only took the metro to go to the Smithsonian and other historical places. A few times I went to a lawyer that specialized in intellectual properties for a computer program we were developing at the railroad. I never had a problem, but DC in the late 1980's and early 1990's was a different place.
One of my favored places is the Smithsonian. I spent a lot of time there, but never got to spend enough. Days at the Smithsonian pass so fast you don't know what is going on. The Lincoln memorial gave me goose bumps. There is history everywhere.
I had to edit the post. Geeze coffee is bad.

Yeah, I too would have like to see it burn down but, other houses are too close.
As far as a mental problem? That's what I told my wife and she agrees. We have tried to get her help, but she refuses and says she knows what she wants, and no one will tell her what to do. She had been living there for about 30 years but moved out 10 to 15 years ago because it was unlivable but, the cats needed a home. Her mother lived with us for a while but, she tried controlling everything and I put a stop to it so, she moved out. It's frustrating for both me and my wife but, more on her.
Little late, but anyone remember this? Heckuva walk.
July 26, 1980: Joe Bowen finished his stilt walk from Los Angeles to Bowen in Powell County, the furthest distance ever walked on stilts, 2,985 miles. He began the journey on February 20.

Just curious, I take it the cats are gone now? (I had issues similar with my Mom later in her life but the money was not available to the extent my Mom could do too much in the hoarding department. She did do what she could.) My Brother and Sister assisted much more as I was in the Army at the time. My Mom was put in a nursing home due to several issues. In any event, I feel for you and your family.

Some recent meals............... I'm Hongry.... (My Darling cooked everything except the biscuits...)

The BB has been taking pictures the last couple weeks. I cannot keep my phone cleared of the pictures he takes.
The boy took a picture of our open toilet seat and took My Darlings phone, got on her facebook and created a story of the toilet seat, My Darling was panicking trying to figure out how to remove the story and picture. My son's girl friend liked the story........ You had to laugh and laugh, and laugh...
How the BB took this picture I have no idea but wow...
Also amazing was the price of these things recently at Walmart. The BB took it...

Sir,
The Lord knows my failings as I have so many. When I say I am blessed or I am thankful, I do not state that lightly. I state it in all seriousness and thankfulness.
God "looked beyond my fault(s) and saw my need!"
For "I know whom I have believed in and am persuaded that he is able, to keep that which I've committed, unto him against that day!"
Bless you Sir!
Jerk, Sir!
😁My Darling doesn't get it when I tell her, I am the lucky one between the two of us. (She thinks I mean in other areas but I know what I mean.)
I will borrow a line from Cpt. Jake..... "I'm God-given lucky."
All I can say is talent. That picture was taken by a boy with talent.The BB has been taking pictures the last couple weeks. I cannot keep my phone cleared of the pictures he takes.

I hope, I just bought him and my Grand daughter a harmonica. I am actually going downstairs shortly as I tracked the package and it is one stop away. I wanted to see if they have the desire or aptitude for music. I thought the harmonica was light enough for them to enjoy. (Got a good deal on amazon.)

I have been there about 4 times since the fire and have seen no cats.
We think it would be best if she went to a home if she does not go to Florida (big house, lots of room, plenty of money). She says she is not going to Florida; she wants to live here at our house (not going to happen). My wife has suggested a home but, she says she will go back to that old house before she did that.
Just what I was thinking and healthier than I eat.
I just saw where Beau Allen has decided to leave the football program. Hate to see the legacy and local QB go elsewhere. Good luck to the kid at his next stop.
Wondering what made him decide to do this now? Late in the game to be making this decision at this time.
A lot of people seem to think he got passed over by Hogan for second string on the depth chart.
Thank you. I am thankful. I always tell My Darling that all she has to do is stick her finger in the food and it tastes good. I just stay overwhelmed at what I am able to eat. I state to many (Not in a bragging way) Kings should be able to eat like I eat.
My wife made this for me for supper today... (A very lightly spicy couple pieces of pork and rice. That is dried, seasoned seaweed at the very top of the picture in the tray.)
Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F and clear. Today's high expected around 102°F.
Going into the office the morning, so keeping it short. Plan on leaving around 6:15 am.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D-League. Was up early enjoying a clear, crisp morning in the east.
Things are a bit of a grind right now at work and overall. Looking forward to the Cats playing in the Bahamas and the college football season.
Falling a bit behind on getting out the door to work, so I’ll wish you all well and catch up later.

Yeah, getting to watch 4 basketball games this early helps me to be less antsy as the football season gets closer. Baseball sometimes fills the void but given the Reds struggles this year (although doing better lately sorry Md) it has been hard without good sports to watch.
Thanks Warrior. I may be on the hook for lunch unless Cincy remembers who they are pretty soon.
The middle of July to the beginning of September has always been the worst stretch of the year for both sports and weather for me, with the rare exception of when the Reds are true contenders. Can’t take the heat. And don’t like golf or NASCAR or soccer or whatever else is out there until college football and baseball playoffs.
Down here July 1 through September 24 is scallop season in my county. It has been a very good season and the little jewels are delicious right out of the Gulf. Never frozen, just clean them and cook them to perfection. I look forward to it and my appetite is at it's peak during that time.
Good morning D-League. It's currently 74° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring a chance of more thunderstorms and a high of 86°.
