SLOWDOWN

We are in guest mode around here so that is getting priority. Little or no blogging for a couple of days.

Not that there is a lot to blog on.

Locally, we are in a long heat wave with humidity. The remnants of one or two—I never did figure that out—are hovering above. The humidity has not been bad, actually. More like 25-30%. Not the 90-100% of back east.

Last night we had a lot of heat lightening, then thunder, and rain.

The spell check did not stop 'lightening' nor does it stop lightning. I just discovered the reason. Lightening is a word but not the word I meant:

The sensation of decreased abdominal distention during the latter weeks of pregnancy following the descent of the fetal head into the pelvic inlet.

How ever you spell it, Franklin did not like it. It got me up to soothe him and there was a very short disruption in electricity; enough to stop the clock radio but nothing else.

The rain couldn't have lasted long. But it did 'clean' things off. We get a little dusty in the summer.

I was forced into defrosting the garage refrigerator yesterday. I don't think many people have refrigerators that require it, but we do. It came with the house.

I finally figured out where the drain hole is. The one that catches all the water from the thaw. I have only been doing this two or three times a year for the 8 years we have lived here. Some info comes slowly.

The world seems to be getting along without me worrying about it. I didn't even finish my run through my daily net-readings yesterday. A first for a while.

The Rove/Libby scandal continues to simmer. The Supremo appointment which seems sort of bland did not rock it from the headlines.

They pumped five shots into a tackled man in the Brit Underground. I guess they are getting serious.

There is other stuff but it can wait.

I will be back in business on Sunday.
