The weather heats up and the AC in my car makes a knocking noise when I turn it off.

I've scheduled an appointment to have it looked into the 28th.

Luckily the weather will be cooling down for the next week.

As I get closer to retirement, little things pop up to slow me down.

As the old saying goes:

Man plans and God laughs.

It's Saturday night and a man's fancy turns to:

Well, around here the weather is always interesting:

Yesterday, tremors were felt here from an earthquake, even though it was a small one, across the state from us.

This morning, we got about an inch of rain.

A fast moving front is bringing in 90 degree temps, with heat indexes close to 100 degrees.

More heavy rain anticipated for this evening.

Mark Twain once said that if you don't like the weather, stick around - it will change in 15 minutes.

Today, at least, that's very true.

I'm waiting on my coffee to cool down to drink.

It's a rare day indeed when that's all I have to wait for.

That's all I've got today.

If you're looking for something deep or witty,

You might want to keep looking.

Sometimes the tank is pretty dry.

We have a new temp in the office where I work.

She could be Amy Adams' twin sister.

Let the fantasies begin!

I have long believed in the theory of multi-verses.

It would explain why, when I put something down in one spot, can't find it after a while and then it's back where I left it originally - like it crossed over somewhere and then came back.

The other night I had a dream where I was standing on the back patio of my parent's house talking to my younger brother while my younger sister walked by. Then my dad came out to have a cigarette.

On the surface, this vivid dream sounds rather boring.

But here are the facts of my family:

I have one sister, four years older than me.

I had one sister, older by two years, who died of pneumonia at one month old.

After I was born, my mother had two miscarriages, a boy and a girl, before she had a hysterectomy.

In my heart, I would like to believe that in another universe my siblings all lived.

Yes, I would have been a middle child, but there would have been a lot more fun, plus the younger brother I always wanted.

Imagination can be a wonderful thing sometimes.

... National Granny Driver Day.

Seems like every time someone in front of me on the road turned today they slowed to a little better than a crawl.

At least they used their turn signals!

Thought I got a good deal on some cotton sheets until they arrived.

The reason they were so cheap?

Only a flat sheet. No fitted sheet or pillow cases included.

I will be reading product descriptions closer from now on.
