I’ve been noticing for a while that prices are creeping up, and packaging is getting smaller. *sigh*

Thanks Mac, for John McCormack & Frank Patterson’s Star Spangled Banner.

The heat has backed off a little here as well - we didn't break 90 - but still high humidity. We had light rain in the early afternoon that just turned the city into a steam bath.

I don't do heat well - have not since 'Nam - I was a heat casualty there - if we hadn't come upon a little stream where I could immerse myself I probably would have been a goner. Amazing how much heat builds up in your body walking uphill under triple canopy rain forest!

I’m sure glad you found that stream! Wouldn’t want to have never met you!

Our humidity has been higher than usual, but it’s nothing like y’all experience!

I’m just thankful it’s under 100. :)

[The Mayor]

And as always Thank you!

[ConorMacNessa]

You are most welcome, of course, Kathy!

Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

Thanks, Mac....knight in shining armor.

They lifted the evacuation order for Chena Hot Spring road residents.

Now THAT is good news!!

[Jet Jaguar]

It is.

I am so happy to get some rain. Our lawn is green. But the unoccupied houses near us have dry brittle grass. This will help a lot.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Hoodat, and thanks for the tunes for the troops to enjoy.

Statler Brothers....my favs!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hope you lose some of your heat AND humidity soon.

Stay cool!

[Kathy in Alaska]

We thank you, Major Richard T. Spooner, USMC (Ret.), for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well.
Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, unique, for the troops.

Mac.....#50!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Glad you got some help. Flying embers on dry brittle lawns can make trouble for neighbors.
