This is sunny beautiful Monday here I cross the river that’s in a low flood stage and it’s not dropping rapidly like it usually does it actually staying at that level. Maybe we are slowly working our way out of a drought situation. More storms are predicted for tonight.

Erica was a cutie pie. Oh my! All these years later, you’re hanging onto her time With you, Bill. Somewhere in universe, she realized that.

We had a big loud storm and pouring rain this morning, in five minutes it was gone. I'm assuming it'll be cloudy for the rest of the day.

It's a nice day here, between rains yesterday and tomorrow. I've got my laundry done and am going to hang it outside before I leave for work.

Pickups are my starting point. If I give up on the open bed it's a slippery slope to the minivan. I like minivans. They are front wheel drive, and if you take the back seats out you've got a truck with a topper. And the "Soccer Mom" bumper sticker isn't required. I've owned two and they dont' make bad trucks at all.

Sorry to hear about the fall, Mike. Ouch.
Happy birthday, Chicago Bob! Of course you'll make it a good one.
It's been raining steadily since I woke me up when it was still good and dark outside, and hasn' lessened up yet. We need this.

I can't eat mushrooms or asparagus until mid-June, so I'm missing out on a big part of an Iowa spring this year. I did make a pot of cream of chicken and rice soup, however, which is tasting good and will last a few meals.

Happy birthday, Dan! I was going to send a cake, but it looks like I'd be overdoing it.

Horseback riding in Red Rock Canyon today. Been looking forward to this for weeks. Have a great day, everyone. Jan My brother-in-law and I rented a car in Vegas once to visit the dam. The countryside sure looked barren, but something made me want to wander off into it. Haven't seen it, but I think I've heard it. Unique bird call. Supposedly, there might be an ivory-billed woodpecker in the vicinity of our camp in Mississippi. The forest service comes out to a particular tree from time to time to monitor. I'm sworn to secrecy. They don't want hordes of watchers to descend on the place. And they need certain confirmation. [/quote] That's cool, Evan. They took them off the extinct list, right? No one has seen one for decades but enough people have heard them that it's considered evidence that they're still around.

If retirement means being under house arrest because of driving restrictions, then yes.

I'm off to work (half time) for the first time in two months. It will end with a zoom meeting. I guess I'll be right back into it.

If you would have played the third set, no one would have been around to hear it. At least you got most of it in!
None of the storms that hit so hardin places west of us, like eastern Nebraska, made it here last night, and we haven't gotten any rain in what was supposed to be a rainy weekend so far. Tonight and tomorrow will be different stories, though, with possibly severe weather moving in.
I'm off to breakfast with a friend, then the coffee shop where I'll make my grocery list, then off to buy said groceries. Not a cloud in the sky right now.

That all sounds great, drlj. It feels good to see light at the end of the tunnel, doesn't it? As far as shoes, I picked up a pair of Sketchers slip on walking shoes because I'm not comfortable bending over yet. They truly do slip right on, hands-free, and they're quite comforable. Best ninety bucks I've spent in a long time.

Like Darryl said, it's cold and rainy out there today. Lots of rain over the weekend. I got out my rain gauge so I'll be able to see just what lots of rain means. We sure could use it.

From the first article:
That sentence reads like no families practice emergency plans in case an angry drunk crashed his car through their garage and then their homes.
Seriously, though, what a needles and tragic event, Joe. It was good to read that State Farm has her covered.

It's clear and relatively cool today. Clouds are supposed to move in later, the harbinger of stormy weather we're expecting all weekend.

It's nice and sunny out, but still a bit cool to be sitting outside. Good news for me is that I got the clearance to start work part-time on Monday. Living in the country with a driving restriction I feel like I've been under house arrest, and it'll be good to get out.
