We had a break in the heat also today. 91 F. I was mowing the lawn at 3 PM and realized that 91 F is still kinda warm.
Sigh, really? We're doing this?

Never a dull moment.
I have an employee who is also ceramics artist. She creates massive clay pieces. I always refer to her as the biggest pot dealer in Asheville.Quote:

On a related matter -- anyone willing to run over to Tennessee for me this weekend? I'm kind of, um, indisposed to interstate travel at the moment.
Booked some flights this morning. Athens -> Madrid, Madrid -> Budapest. Have some more to book, but coordinating travel can be a pain sometimes. Hoping to see Prague and Dubrovnik also. Ending in Germany for Oktoberfest :cool:
I hate taking my car in for anything but routine maintenance. Now waiting to see how my negotiating skills are with Toyota.

The thing is huge! What the heck am I going to do with it? Found it squirrelled away in the back of a closet. Kind of sad to have it folded up but it's way too big for a regular flag pole. Guess I could offer it to the local hospital to fly?
Big enough for a car dealer?Quote:

Today is National Navajo Code Talkers Day. I'm still amazed by these men. They had been punished if they spoke their native language when they were children but then joined the Marines to use their native language to serve our country. They did this in secrecy - they weren't allowed to talk about what they did as the program was classified. It became declassified in 1968. President Reagan set aside August 14th as a day to recognize and honor them in 1982.
I have had the privilege of meeting and hearing Sam Sandoval speak twice. He is one of the last 10 living code talkers from WWII. The code was never cracked.
Thank you to all of the code talkers and their families for their service and sacrifice.
Here is a link to some facts about the code talkers: https://www.history.navy.mil/researc...e-talkers.html
I'm not the codebreaker I uses to be.

He cared very, very deeply about the 2014 Ice Dancing gold medal that went to Davis & White over Virtue & Moir. But he unfriended me on FB because of the gold medal hockey game. When I found out that all but 3 of the players on the "Canadian" Women's Olympic hockey team played on scholarship at US colleges, I asked, "What does it even mean to skate for Canada if your training is being provided by the American taxpayer?"
