The title says it all, folks.  That’s what I had here today.  It was threatening rain all day and now the thunder has started up.  It always starts at the time of day when I knock off and want to watch a little TV.  I have been watching an old series on YouTube and I do look forward to doing that while I put my supper together.  I do not, however, like to be on the computer if we are having an active thunderstorm.

I think I could use a vacation.

A vacation from what, you might ask.

That’s a darn good question–I’ll have to think about it.

Now the rain has really started out there.

Must close.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

PattyThat is me hiding from the lightning.

Very laid-back day today.

I have started increasing my water intake.  I know you are supposed to do it gradually, so that’s what I’m doing.   My  friend swears by it–first thing in the morning a glass of cold water.  She says it helps with brain fog (I don’t have that) and general tiredness (that I do have).

Let’s see if it works.

Aside from that, no major news today, other than a notice that we are getting a large credit on our upcoming electric bill.  Why am I suspicious about that?   Are they softening us up for the kill?   What do they know that I don’t?  Beware of utility companies bearing gifts.  They may be prepping us for a really major raise in a couple of months.  I’ll find out, that’s for sure.

Well that does it for today.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

OK, enough is enough.  Today we are still under a tornado watch.  No joke.  We had a massive thunderstorm that seemed to last forever.  It was the type of heavy storm that usually lasts a few minutes, but this baby went on for over an hour.  Yikes.  They are supposed to continue off and on overnight as well.

Needless to say, this really interfered with my posts.  I had to sneak things in when there were gaps in the action.  And there weren’t many gaps.

I truly don’t like that sort of thing.  In fact, it scares the hell out of me.

Lee always had to talk me down when the weather got like that.

Ought to be a fun night tonight, if this keeps up like they are predicting.

It’s funny, because when I ran out to the store this morning, it was fine.  Overcast and gray, but not even rain.

I sense ravioli in my future.  Thank heaven for our local restaurant.

They deliver.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Will somebody out there please read The Last Banquet and post a review on the book’s amazon.com page? I can hardly ask my wife to do it, after all. It ain’t honest… and I think we’ve all had quite enough of that lately.

Meanwhile I want to take back what I said a few weeks ago about Speaker of the House John Boehner: he is a eunuch, after all. He’s waving that white flag so hard, he’ll probably tear a rotator cuff.

As all the readers of my Bell Mountain series know, the bad guys only think they’re winning.

Oh, but this is real life! The villains always win! They won big last week! Your books are just fantasy.

OK, fair enough. Go to a much higher authority, then, and read I Corinthians 1:18-31 (the Bible verses which have inspired much of my books).  Especially verses 27-28:

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and  things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to  bring to nought things that are…

Amen, amen.
