A big pot of Chili Verde sounds better to me.

Gorgeous day here, and I spent it chained to my desk.

Yah. It was winter until it was summer. Talk about whiplash. Weeds are growing faster than I can imagine.

Yeah, summer is arriving a bit early. They say 100 on Thursday and mid nineties the next two days. I wish spring lasted longer than two weeks.

Jim

edit: Forgot to mention, SSA put back the $268 they took from me. I checked my account yesterday because I was going to go grocery shopping and saw an extra $268 there. Thought the Senator's office had been successful in getting the VA to back off. However, after checking where it came from, I see it was Social Security.

Next two days are going to be 97, and 100 they say. I wish Spring had not left us so soon.
