Love the pictures, Phooey, especially the 2 kitties in a hammock!
65 sounds pretty good to me right now. Our daily highs have been between 99 and 105 for at least a couple of weeks.
It's too hot to even go to my sister's house for a swim. She has no shade in her yard, so unless you are in the water all the time, it's miserable. Plus, I have to go to work on Thursday, so I'm staying home. Old Glory will be flying at my house!
Thank you all for praying for Tim. Please keep him in your prayers. He returned to work today and asked me to help him. I won't know the particulars until Thursday, but he incurred some bills (I think the police took him to the psychiatric ward for observation). First, I'll figure out if our insurance policy will cover any of it. If not, I'll try to find him some financial aid as I think he will have ongoing psychiactric bills. I'm going to encourage him to spend time with our company's chaplain, too. Poor thing, he is overwhelmed by his life's circumstances, despairs that it can never get better, feels like he's not smart enough to figure out complicated things.
I told him what my brother told me when I was afraid to take this job because I thought it was over my head. He said, "It's not hard; it's just new."
There but for the Grace of God go I. Please keep him in your prayers.
This story made me laugh. If we opened a golf-cart business, we could have a nice income off the sales. Anyone on The Pond live where you can drive a golf cart on the streets?
"Owners in South Carolina are especially pleased because in May, Governor Nikki Haley approved a bill that allows golf carts to be driven up to four miles from their homes, starting in October – instead of the two miles that had previously been the law.
“The new golf cart law helps our community because it gets them around the community a little better than the old law did,” says Kenny Lancaster, Director of Safety and Standards at Sun City, a retirement community in Hilton Head where almost every resident owns a golf cart.
“Four miles seems great and just perfect,” says Sun City resident and golf cart owner Mike Zipes.
And South Carolina isn’t the only state to welcome golf carts onto public roads, it’s a growing trend. Market research firm IBIS World forecasts that by 2016, 76,685 golf carts will be sold annually. Rising gas prices are a major factor in that growth."
Better buy stock in an algae farm. Why? you ask. Apparently, it can be used for fuel. Froggy's comment: "Why not use snails or doorknobs for fuel?"
Copied from PJ Media: "In a February energy speech at the University of Miami, Obama famously touted algae as the next frontier in biofuels.
“We’re making new investments in the development of gasoline and diesel and jet fuel that’s actually made from a plant-like substance — algae,” Obama said. “You’ve got a bunch of algae out here, right? If we can figure out how to make energy out of that, we’ll be doing all right.”
"Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich began mocking Obama as “President Algae” afterward.
“He says, now, drilling is not the solution and then he proposes a solution. Does anyone here remember what it was? Algae. The president’s solution for the price of gasoline was algae,” Gingrich said at an April campaign event in Delaware. “So, we went and checked out algae and it’s true. We have research underway to eventually develop the equivalent of oil from algae and within 10 years we may actually have a commercially viable version. And the people who are working on it believe we could get it for somewhere between $140 a barrel and $800 a barrel."
'WOGs comment: Between the golf carts and the snail-fuel (I mean, algae), we should be in great shape. And here we all worried about what legacy would be left for our grandchildren! Not to worry!
65 degrees! That's cold!
ReplyDelete65 is wonderful! Not too hot. Not too cold.
ReplyDeleteWhat's everyone doing for 4th of July? Fireworks? Bar-b-ques? TV? Naps?
Need a hug? Okay!

I just looked at those pictures, Phooey. Now I have to go hug the boys, whether they want me to or not!
DeleteI feel hugged! Thanks, Phooey. Pics couldn't get any cuter than these. Either kitten thinks it's a duck or duckling thinks it's a kitten.

Smooches!
And he's lucky you took the job, Surfie! I'll bet he remembers what your brother told you the next time he feels overwhelmed. I know I will!
DeleteSurfie, I love what your brother said too. I never looked at problems that way, but it makes sense. Tim is lucky to be working with you.
