Agreed concerning the cooler temps. It is a treat that is unless
you're a farmer (generalized, i know)

There's a lot of whinei.... "Concern" about the crops (what got
planted) not having enough heat to grow right. And lots of rain! I
think Wednesday we got about a tenth in Clay Co. while Greenup got 3.5
inches.

Really spotty. either too much, or too little.

that's how it is.

I promised the gret nephews I'd take them and my niece out to the lake
for some serious tubing today, but one of the boys has a bad dose of
the flue and as I speak it's 58 degrees outside. HUH!? yeah, this is
the year that spring never ended. I dont' think tomorrow afternoon is
tied up so I'll see what I can do if the kid isn't still sick, but
probably wopn't be going then either.

Oh well....

Kind of a disapointment actually. I love spending time with the kids!

Oh oh!
Not the Swine (H1N1) flu I hope.

No Don, It's you're typical ( I think) head and chest stuff. enough to
bog you down for a couple days.And in this type of cool weather, you
get wet then you get chilled running around in the boat.

so, if it warms up next wekend we'll probably hit it unless something
else pops up... and that happens too frequently any more for some
reason...

Warm...we've had enough of warm here. Summer finally kicked in with sunny
*30F* temps for a full week or so. Hard to take when you aren't used to
it.
Next week we'll be back in the low 20s. That 4th week of August always
brings the big change.


oooops make that 30C

I'm glad you brought that up, Don.

In my opinion I think the "Swine flu" is going to be blown out of
proportion as bad as the "West Nile Virus" was...

Just my opinion, though.

*********************************

It's been a big deal around here...early on we had the majority of cases in
Canada.
This is notable since this province only has about 2-3 % of the countrys
population.

I can appreciate your concern. But here in the states, it seem the
media will take a "suspected" death from swine flu and make it out
like it's rampant.

A couple of "suspected" swine flu deaths in New York City . A city of
about 9 mil. people and the news media causes a stampede.

The niece and her sons live in Edwardsville, and Lake Carlyle is a
good in between meeting spot. About an hr from them and an hr. from me
traveling time, so boating sems to be a natural thing to do and
everyone has a blast.

I like spending time with the kids because their dad is non existant.
(LOOOOOZER!), so I suppose I'm an uncle and a parent at the same
time.

I really enjoy the connection.
Good for you for being there for them. How old are they? I have two
granddaughters I adopted in '04 when they were 10 and 11. I had
raised them after their father became non-existent (LOOOOOZER, as you
would say, lol) Their mom, my daughter, passed away last year and I'm
now raising another child, age 12. In addition I raised an older
sibling, now age 29 and doing fine.
So you can see I've been pretty busy. And because of that I've
continued to work at age 71. Damn, they drink so much milk! lol
But it's worth it!

Back to a little on-topic. Today I found out by reading Craigslist
that the marina where I have my boat berthed is charging $4.00 a ft
for covered berth. I have been paying $150.00/mo for my 27 footer.
Hmm, 27 X 4 = $108. So it looks like I've been overcharged $42/mo for
the last three years. Next weekend I will move my boat to a land
storage that charges $68/mo. Damn cheats!

Down here, it sounded like the First Nations were getting hit pretty
hard.

There is none, despite all of the data telling us otherwise, the right
wing politicians are telling all of you that it isn't happening. I'm
glad that Greenland realizes it really is happening, though, the
retreating ice has opened up a lot of areas for mining in their country.

I think you're wrong. Al Gore has pictures of Florida and India going
underwater. The melt is going to raise water levels some 22 feet (or
was that centimeters?). No difference. Florida is going under.

Hell, he's even got pictures that make it look like the polar bears
are going to be extinct. (Although it seems as though the population
is growing.)

What happens to all the mercury in Al Gore lightbulbs?
