Just popping over to the USA thread with news of Mr Boog.
He leaving Jackson, Wyoming today on his USA coast-to-coast bike ride. He is one of the elite 'EFI' group.
Here is a clip from his latest email explaining the 'EFI' acromym.
"There can be up to 80 people on the tour in any one week but only 37 left Seattle intending to do the whole thing. The current number of riders who have not been in the support wagon now total 27. We have become known as the EFI riders. It stands for Every F****** Inch. I'll leave it to you to fill in the blanks!"
Well done him - so far so good!

We had a thunderstorm last night that brought down some more large tree limbs. ![[Frown]](frown.gif) I worked for about forty minutes this morning sawing them and lugging them to the curb. (The town won't collect anything longer than eight feet.) I hope I have taken care of everything that has to be sawed. I also hope I have finished with the heavy stuff that has to be dragged to the curb. I will rest tomorrow and tackle the job again Wednesday morning.

We have been having the same Mighty Impressive thunderstorms that have been playing havoc with Moo's trees, but have been more fortunate than she. We have a few branches broken, the storm tossed some of our flowerpots around, and we still haven't found the cat's food dish, but nothing major. There are quite a few trees down in the neighborhood, though, and the hail did some damage. I hope this isn't a rehearsal for hurricane season.

I don't want to wish a lousy hurricane season on you but I do wish they wouldn't get this desire to 'cross the Pond' once they are done with The Americas. They aren't half as severe by the time they get to us but we aren't set up to deal with dramatic weather: rain stopped play is about our limit.

Checked in on Maleveque and Snowgoose. Waiting for Ebeth to text back.
All we've had is heat, heat and more heat. The fireworks are cancelled for the whole state and I'm thinking Colorado and Arizona will be doing the same thing. I look to the mountains and I see rain falling, but none here in the valley. ![[Help]](graemlins/help.gif) SEND RAIN.

Unfortunately, Tech is between terms, and there are very few students around. During term time, the students are wonderful. They see me shoveling snow or clearing off my car, and they offer to take over the job.
I walked around the neighborhood today and was amazed at the extent of the damage. I appear to have gotten off lightly.
The library was so full of people that soft chairs were at a premium. I guess a lot of people still don't have their power back, and they need an air-conditioned space.
I'm annoyed at the way the national press has reported this. They implied that the damage and deaths in Virginia were confined to the suburbs of Washington, DC. In fact, we had one death here in Blacksburg, another in Franklin County, which is not very far away, and two in Botetourt County, which is just north of Roanoke. The reporters don't seem to realize that southwest Virginia exists.

It was a great seller where I used to be employed as a helpful hardware lady. It flew off the shelves before Christmas. Perfect size for a Christmas stocking!
BTW, we called it Monkey Butt rather than add the Anti- to the name. That was much more fun.

Moo - do you have a church youth group? that's what they're for.
around here when we get storm-downed stuff, its cause for celebration - free firewood!
all right, gang, I need some advice. I have to work on the fourth - 5 pm until probably 5 am. (great tips! not complaining!) my boys will be home by 4:30 or so and likely bored and resentful because their friends will all be floating the rivers or at bonfires. so - does anyone know of any big city fireworks displays that will be streamed? fireworks here in the summer suck because it's never dark - but I thought they might enjoy watching a show vicariously over the net.
other ideas welcome, also. they've already seen The Patriot a zillion times. and I'm thinking something more interesting than being a vidiot but that can be done by unsupervised boys - 16 and 10.
thanks in advance!

I noticed that as well. 65% of Roanoke City and Roanoke Co. were without power. 80% of Lynchburg. We were lucky that our lights flickered, but did not go out. We have had two refugees camping out with us until their power is restored. It could be next Saturday, AEP says. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

a propos of nothing and just 'cause I need to whine - I'm allergic to something in my room.
I suspected mildew (another wet summer) so gave it a very healthy scrubbing up today and changed all the linens, inspected and flipped the mattress, etc. now it's worse. uncool.
I feel like the marching band in my sinuses just gave en epic solo to their most manic and meth-addled base drummer. I've got enough pressure in here to can a herd of elephants.

Ah, well, there's your answer - dust. Sadly, it will improve now you've dusted, it will get worse if you don't dust again and it will get worse when you do the dusting. Apparently, according to my cousin with allergic rhinitis with dust as a trigger, the answer is a housekeeper or cleaner. Or not if you're skint like me.

We don't have many teenagers at our church, and most families are out of town. Our lives are very much governed by the Tech academic schedule.
The work isn't that bad. I work until I feel tired, and then I don't work again until two days later.
AFAIK I only have lightweight stuff to drag to the curb now. I hope the job is half done. I can't be sure until I've moved everything and seen what's underneath it.

Pata says that PBS has some 4th thing going on. I also seem to remember that there can be a lot of fun with fireworks in broad day light involving various sizes of things blowing up(see sparkler bomb ). Also I remember with some fondness shooting roman candles at each other. On the other hand maybe you don't want my advice.

Moo, over here a heck of lot of people would be phoning the local council to 'get some men to clear the street' or even calling the police to do it. They would step over it rather than move the stuff! I hope someone can drop by to give you a hand.

One of my very favorite Fourth of Julys ever was in Alaska. We were in Seward and sleeping, when a huge BOOM woke us at midnight. We went onto the balcony and watched the fireworks display in a fairly light sky with alpenglow on the mountains. After the day's festivities, we took the train to Anchorage and were surprised by another fireworks display at about 10 that evening. Again, not a dark sky at all, but really lovely!

dah DAH da da DAH da da DAHHHH! (hummed to the tune of "Stars and Stripes Forever")
A beautiful Independence Day here in Williamsburg. Always a thrill to go down to Colonial Williamsburg on July 4. For the rest of the year (because it is set up to reflect the way it was in colonial times, of course) Union Jacks fly over all the old buildings; but on the 4th of July they haul 'em all down and raise the Stars and Stripes. The first time I saw it it made me all teary. (It still does, actually.)
Then, in the afternoon, folks gather under the big oak beside the courthouse and the Town Crier (doesn't your town have a Town Crier? Ours certainly does.) reads the Declaration of Independence. Everyone BOOOOOs when they mention King George, of course, and cheers at appropriate moments.

Didn't go to any of the firework displays yesterday, but did go to a little ceremony at our replica of the Liberty Bell (#16), down at the Capitol Building. I had no idea that there were 55 replicas made in 1950 and given to each state to ring out on the 4th! The fellow who started this here two years ago dressed in colonial garb and read about the replicas, a woman from the DAR spoke and we read the Declaration out loud. We had about 5 people step up to read and great kudos to the two young girls that read and did really well on some of those words! Then at 11am, to coincide with the ceremony at the real LB, we could step up to strike the bell with a rubber mallet and let it ring 13 times for the original states. The last ring was by a young boy wearing a tricorner hat - too cute! Here is the list of the bells and where they are now and most with pictures: Liberty Bell replicas

I got the big ol' Firefox explanation about it, first time I've ever seen that "attack page" warning. Using Linux I generally never worry about that stuff.
I forced the computer to show it to me. The list is interesting, seeing what the different states have done with their bells.
I didn't even make it a point to look & see if PBS ran "A Capitol Fourth", or whatever they call the thing, with the entertainers in an outdoor venue in D.C. Most years I watch that, but I lazed about all day for my 4th, ate my son-in-law's grilled meats extravaganza at The Outlaws' house while watching Jeff Dunham, then wandered over to drink coffee at the bookstore to close the day.

I have been celebrating since July 1st. Sunday was the day the fireworks went off in our area. Not sure why, Friends invited us over for dinner and to watch the works from their porch. The next day a group of us women fixed a thank you dinner for all of our local fire fighters. One Wednesday we were again invited out for dinner. Thursday because the Senior Center had been closed on the 4th we had a little celebration there.
Today I get to cook for myself for the first time this week. Kind of nice. I am ready to move on.

Thank God, our multi-day run of 100-degree temps has broken. There's a lovely cool breeze coming out of the northwest and we're sitting here with the Windows wide open enjoying it.

And I can't believe autocorrect capitalized Windows. There, it did it again.

Perspective.
Godlet having moved to New Jersey a few days ago -- (*sniffle*) -- he left a box of things he wasn't going to bring up there. At least not in girlfriend's car. They weren't going so far as to be all packed up like the Beverly Hillbillies. Godlet experienced that when we moved back down home from Iowa. I'm sure he has fond memories from that.
Atop that box was the skunk skin I gave him, brought it back from Red Earth a couple years ago. I've been enjoying the thing, just having it around and petting it. thinking about making it a purse. Then, when the girls at work show off their designer handbags, I can show them my original LePew.

Don't skunk skins have a residual odor?

I fell asleep last night to the sound of rain on the roof ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif) I've always loved that sound, but after over a month with no rain at all, it was pure music!

It's all on me and I won't tell it.
