I'll Second That!

State Capitol, Texas Presidential candidate G.W. Bush prides himself on presiding over 121 executions with perfect oversight.

State representative Tim Moore wanted to show how careful the legislative process was in the state.

Representative Tim Moore sponsored a resolution in the Texas House of Representatives in Austin, Texas calling on the House to commend Albert de Salvo for his unselfish service to "his country, his state and his community."

The resolution stated that "this compassionate gentleman's dedication and devotion to his work has enabled the weak and the lonely throughout the nation to achieve and maintain a new degree of concern for their future. He has been officially recognized by the state of Massachusetts for his noted activities and unconventional techniques involving population control and applied psychology."

The resolution was passed unanimously.
Representative Moore then revealed that he had only tabled the motion to show how the legislature passes bills and resolutions often without reading them or understanding what they say.
Albert de Salvo was the Boston Strangler.

Triskaidekaphobia! (And Fried Brains)?

Triskaidekaphobia (Click on the word if you don't know what it is).

I don't have it...
(Probably one of the few things that doesn't run in the family too)!  hehehe

Good Morning all;
Storm warnings are out... So I will be typing fast- Forgive any errors.

It is just beginning to get dark.  Quite dark.  Which is an odd thing to say at 9AM.
Flash flood warnings are already out- My weather radio went off 3+ hours ago telling me that there was a storm watch. I don't really pay attention to the watches, but am happy for the heads~up too.

Checking the radar on weather channel was this (then).


That blob has now morphed and is much closer...

Then came this on the news-




He said to pay attention in about an hour because winds could be in excess of 60mph.
What? Does he want me to watch as everything goes flying across the yard?!?
Funny guy...


At the risk of making my son in law, William laugh out loud, I have a complaint.

I've been hot. Too hot. (And miserably humid as well).




I do not get along with these nasty hot and humids...
Those who live with it, and like it? I think the weather has fried your brain. hehehe

The weekend begs me to be rich, and to get out and enjoy.
If I had the means, I would happily go for a sail on any of these ships!!!
The Tall Ship Festival is once again in Green Bay, and OH! I would LOVE to go!!!




Wouldn't you love it too?
Spendy though, and they are even charging just to walk acro$$ the bridge from one side of the Fox River to the other?!
WTH? That's crazy!

♥ Another place I would ♥LOVE ♥LOVE ♥LOVE to go is Sault Ste. Marie, MI.
(Yeah, that sorta goes without saying). hehehe

But, at the end of August the Kewadin Casino in Sault Ste. Marie is having a 2-day Paranormal Convention-
Billed as "the largest paranormal gathering of its kind in the Midwest", when I received the flyer for it I wanted to leave immediately! 

By now, you all know how intrigued I am with this subject. Casey is also, and of course wants to go too. I don't think it's going to be possible- One thing I have learned in these 50+ years of mine is that a body can dream forever if need be...




Please visit their page here- Very interesting stuff!
Their top page even says the head office is located in Sault Ste. Marie in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where people are affectionately referred to as Yoopers!

Just returning from Sault Ste Marie is my Cousin Tiffany (known affectionately as "Buttercup"). She is on her way back to Colorado to return to her teaching job, having spent her summer at her home in The Soo.
She stayed overnight Wednesday- a nice break in her travel, (even nicer that she came here)!
This morning she woke in Iowa City, spending the night with friends. "So far so good" reads the text I got from her earlier- A good thing!





Her T-Shirt says Tru-Native-Yooper! hehehe

"In winter we shovel snow and in summer we swat mosquitoes. During the spring and fall we rest up for swatting and shoveling". (Peter Oikarinen's reply to the often-asked question of Yoopers, "What do you people do up there?" 1987-)
If you want to giggle, do the click...  hehehe

I made a Shrimp Scampi for a lighter fare Wednesday evening- The stew can wait til tomorrow- too hot to be simmering that all day!
I also made a fresh (Michigan) peaches "crisp"
Casey brought out ice cream and everything was perfect! (If I do say so myself)! hehehe

Yesterday morning just an 'farmers wife' fare for filling up before the heat of the day kicked in. Fresh (local) blueberries in the pancakes, Wisconsin smoked sausage, Wisconsin bacon, Wisconsin potatoes, fresh (Door County) cherries, and a bit of caffeine for medicinal purposes too!
Mmmm!
(I done good)! hehehe
Tiffany remarked that I was a good cook! (Loving to cook, I also love the compliments)!

Are you hungry yet?!

No blog is complete without seeing Punk with 'her' Casey! I swear the dog gets depressed if she doesn't see Casey for a few days...




They are both (basically) healthy for now.
Doc Spires called to check on Miss Punk yesterday. Nice that. I told him that Punk seems to be doing much better, (and I was very happy to report there have been no further barf episodes).
Gee, are ya still hungry?!  hehehe
Hmmm... Maybe it's not so 'nice' of him. Perhaps it is his way of thanking me for repaving his parking lot and making his truck payments.   hehehe

Casey goes in next week for her recheck for her blood testing. This will be the final test for whether she needs more iron infusions, and to maybe tell us how her body is processing it all.
We will have those results the following Monday or Tuesday- Seems like such a long wait. Sometimes I think that is what we do best.

I'd better close for now- a few 'rumbles' outside, but no rain yet. The field hands are all still working.

Have a 'wunnaful' weekend!

Love to all

XOXO
