Send some over here, after two hurricanes and 60 inches of rain a while back we haven't had much rain lately. this is finally restoring the balance here, but if i were to send it anywhere it would be to California to put out the fires. With the governor they have I would prefer the state become it's own country and leave the real Americans alone. I had relatives out there but they all moved away as the left wing took over. ... I would gladly give you some of our 91F days here in October for low 40s with some rain. no thanks! we've had enough of those already. two more weeks of frost-free weather would be nice. ... I would gladly send you some Houston area heat if we could round it up and point it. Fall garden is mostly in, wife takes care of that nowadays and I get to pick the kumquats, they're starting to turn orange and I need more kumquat jelly and preserves. i've never had one, never tasted jelly or preserves. wouldn't know what they even looked like other than you just said orange. The fruit starts blooming early on and the fruit is ready to pick in the fall when it turns a deep orange. I'm the only one in the family that will eat them raw as they are quiet tangy, mostly do other things with them. I worry about this crop as they tree shed it's fruit in January 2017 due to heavy freezes back to back. Just hope they get ripe this time. George, who can't sleep in, probably because I worked shift work for sixteen years a long time ago. Nowadays my best friends are costly doctors, I didn't intend to live this long. i'd like to sleep in until a bit later in the morning now that it is dark enough out, but i seem to have turned into a morning person by accident. in the older days i'd more likely see morning by being up all night. now i try to get to sleep by midnight or thereabouts. at least i did get the truck moved and the tiles out of the ditch before they could get washed into the bigger ditch. wasn't raining for a while, but the drippy- drops are back. songbird The dog let me sleep until 0615 this morning and I was grateful enough to go ahead and feed her. She gets 1/3 of a cup of dog food each day and she is positive I am starving her to death. Dogs will literally eat until they fall over if allowed. I eat three small meals a day and still have a pot belly. My pot belly is smaller than my wife's, she claims it's bloat but, if you watched her eat you could see where the belly comes from. She claims it's our big babies, yeah, one was 7lbs, 7 oz. the other was 8 lbs, 8 oz. Now both the kids are in middle fifties and weigh more than I do at 207. Both have good jobs and families and don't bug us much so I'm happy. I left home at 17 to go in the Navy and my kids got free rides to college, etc. so we moved overseas so they wouldn't come over so much. G George |
