Pop, that was a freak thing, wasn't it? I never heard of beach swimmers getting hit by lightening before. Not anywhere, certainly not here.
We got some rain here. It woke me up with a pretty good racket on the patio cover. I didn't stay awake long enough to know how long it lasted.
But then, a guy got shot on the sidewalk two doors over from ours a few weeks ago. The weekend after the 4th holiday. Never heard a thing. Never even heard the news until I talked to my neighbor yesterday. His house is between us and where it happened. He said the cops knocked on our door to ask if we had seen anything. And cops usually KNOCK!!! Didn't wake me up.
Bill, if your neighborhood is anything like ours there's fireworks going off for a month before and a month after the fourth. A gunshot would be just another bang to me, i wouldn't even think twice.
In Lourdes, IA (church and bar, what more does a man need?)
Kinda' reminds me of the old hometown, Palisade, MN, population 170. A couple churches, two gas stations, an on & off-sale store, a coffee shop, and the "mercantile".
It was once a thriving little place, with a state bank, a drug store, and a co-op creamery.
If the Soo Line hadn't chosen that place to cross the Mississippi, there would have never been a thing there at all.
sure was a toasty day today! changed out a pool pump/motor and it was about 105* in the sun out in west valley, phew! tomorrow involves jack hammering and digging to repair a pool light, boss said work till it gets too hot or you run out of water...
on a side note, i got about 9 USA craftsman sockets in various drive size,6 and 12 point, and metric and sae, looking to trade them for 20MM or larger metric USA craftsman sockets....
likely going to list them on Craigslist but you guys would be easier to deal with and would like to let y'all have first dibs! :P
If it weren't for the handrails, this would look like an artistic water feature. It is actually the stairs leading from the parking garage to the Pauley Pavilion entrance. And that water is all flowing into the parking garage.
The "new" floor of Pauley Pavilion gymnasium.
Looks like someone took a knife to a gunfight. Or, since this is an educational establishment, this might be a lesson in futility.
