Good morning,
Well, today is beautiful! The cold front came thru, and I got to open up the house! It is so nice. We will be having cool nights for a bit, so I am excited!! Trying to clean up the house, actually! Not too successful. I spent the morning trying to match up a shelter in Sebring, Fla. with a rescue who could take them in Al. I wish it would work out. Great time for my computer to buffer!!
I hope they do not euthanize the dogs..I can't take any since I am going out of the country and boarding mine...
What a time.. Fires on the west coast, hurricanes in the south. The people in Montana are getting kind of desperate and angry no one is showing their hardships nationally, and they were denied federal help. What a mess.
Yeah, education seems to have taken a back seat to social woes. It is a backseat -period- in most of Alabama.
Glad you got to laugh some, Val!! Always a good thing!!
Yep, I feel the last of the fresh tomato sandwiches coming on!! Corn on the cob is still sweet, so enjoying a little of that!!
Prayers for the monster Irma to head east.I think though, it may graze the coast and hit the Carolinas. Hugo in S.C. caused catastrophic problems. I see it maybe repeating!
Take care all!! Do not work too hard!! ..Jan

More humor once again
Hi
I did some walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 61 on the news channel and 60 degrees on the front porch and back yard. The rain with stormy weather in the forecast for Yesterday
Yesterdays forecast rain was on and off all day. When I went out the door this morning I could see it had rained overnight. The Rain was gone from this area by 6AM and there was a little in the 6AM Weather report further south of where I am.

Hi Jan
That sounds as if You are having great weather for a while
Just curious, Where are You going out of the country? If You mentioned the destination I seem to have forgotten where.
I am hoping that Irma causes no problems here in NJ, I still remember the no power days from Super-storm Sandy.
My Brother has been having Tomato Sandwiches with Mayo too. I Just put moderately thick slices of the really ripe tomatoes on sandwiches.
I am waiting for the Corn I planted to produce. They Corn they are producing are not completely filled out yet.
I have to be careful Corn as it high in natural sugars.
Have a Good Day

Hi Val2 -
Good morning!
Still great weather here. We got a little rain when the front ran thru. Nights are comfortable and we may need a jacket one night as it dips to 59 deg. I wish it was like this all year!!
I leave for Paris in about 3 weeks. I am not at all ready, lol. All of a sudden the time is flying. I do not know where the time goes. I saw a report that Irma might hit as a cat 2 for SC. That is better than 2. I invited my step mom here but she is staying put. She may be in the rt. quadrant though and she is not fond of storms, or tornados. Interesting few days coming. So awful about the destruction so far. I hope it will not be too bad for you all!
The hee haw was funny. Maybe I could find me a skinny person and divide by 2, and put that down as a loss!!
Great job walking! I am going out for a hamburger or salad tonite. Maybe that will not be too bad, lol!

Hi Jan
I'm glad You liked the Hee Haw videos, We watch the ReRuns on the RFDTV channel Sunday evenings. I use the HD channel rather than their SD channel as it gives a better picture and the show quality is great that way.
Salads themselves are not bad for You, It is the add ons such as Croutons, Salad Dressing and Cheese.
I used some Swiss Cheese 1/2 slice at 40 calories on my NS Hamburger yesterday instead of the usual 1/2 slice of Velveeta at 20 calories It made a nice change in the taste.
I love hamburgers. In the past Pre NS I loved it when Wendy's had their Mushroom Swiss Burgers.
If the current projected path for Irma stays as projected we me be in the clear here in NJ, Parts of Alabama not necessarily. Atlanta Ga. oh oh

Good Morning!
Yes, Irma has definitely taken a wobble west! We are still not too impacted except by breezes and probably some rain in the eastern part of Al. It sure looks bad for Fla. There are two dogs coming to Jersey from Fla. One I sponsored, and another I sponsored that was hopefully adopted if nothing went wrong. I tried to get 2 other dogs out, but was hampered by the fact animal control closed at 1200 friday, and may be closed Sat. I had a rescue lined up, and transport, but the Florida people are kind of giving up. I do understand. They have been working furiously and need to prepare themselves. But I do think animal control could have done better to be reached since this is life or death for these dogs. We will see. Prayers for Fla. Lots of people still unprepared and stupid even after Katrina.
Lots are leaving though which is good...
I am still reading thru the links. They are sure interesting. Yeah, the equifax hack is not good. I found the possible poisoning of food very frightening. We have to have it, but I would not want to go that way, by poisoning.
I love hamburgers too! I did get a salad last night though. It was a tropical salad with greens, and the smallest chop of mangos, red pepper, coconut and pecans I have ever seen. It was good, but I was a little disappointed that they thought 1 Tablespoon all together of the added ingredients was substantial to the salad. I did not have to worry much on calories. I finally spotted about 5 strands of minced coconut and maybe two nuts in it. I actually thought they forgot to add it. It left me enough for the poppyseed dressing, however, and I added salmon to my salad which was quite good. i did not use all the salad dressing!
Tonite is Chinese. That will be harder!! Glad you found a penny! Off to humor!! ..Jan

Brittany Horn, Jessica Masulli Reyes, Esteban Parra and Christina Jedra and Larry Fenn, The News Journal and Associated Press
Wilmington has the highest rate in America, by far, of young people being shot. The rate is more than twice that of Trenton, the No. 2 city of similar size.
Sixty-four children have been shot in Wilmington shootings between January 2015 and Labor Day. Five have died.
Wilmington also has a 2-to-1 lead over Trenton, its closest peer in the mid-sized city group, according to the data analysis. In descending order, other cities facing extraordinarily high teen shootings are Savannah, Georgia; Syracuse, New York; and Flint, Michigan.

It looks like a interesting few days more of Irma coverage in the news. I find it hard to fault the Animal Control People TBH, First thing to take care of is Family followed by the Animals which I suspect is the answer. Is Alabama getting many refugees from Irma ?
The reason I ask is we are getting them up here. I saw a headline in a local newspaper while walking that said "Irma Refugees arrive in NJ.
So true that the possible poisoning is scary. Not to mention how many people have plenty of food in case it should happen or a terrible storm disrupts food deliveries. I have a sneaky suspicion that many people shop every few days and in NYC I have seen reports that some people only eat out or have takeout for the weeks meals.
If it were not so expensive I would have survival food on hand for a a two or three month period. That food keeps for many years and the other thing I would have is a water purification system that needs no power. They sell those and since the survival food needs water to rehydrate even if You have the food You still need the water. I might also want to have on hand water purification tablets.

News flash- I walked around my little 0.25 mi block! It's been a long time. Waiting until i felt like it was clearly not working for me...so i did it in spite of my feelings. I also climbed a tree and used my hacksaw to remove two very large branches, and then chopped them into pieces. And i took Duke & Lucy to get their shots, then got gas (now available but 50 cents/gal more expensive), and groceries. I tried to get my annual vehicle inspection but there was an hour wait. I have lifestraws here...just in case. Hope you're enjoying your weekend!1

Good morning!
Rodger, all good articles. Still catching up! We have lots of Fla. people. The major roads heading to us and north are very crowded. I am surprised you have folks up there unless they are staying with relatives. The more west path the more I get. But just 30 mile an hour winds at times and an inch to 2 of rain for Monday-Tues. . Not much.
Eastern 1/4 th Al. is more 70 mile an hour gusts to 3-4 inches rain at the moment. Subject to change.
I remember a time no one would shoot a kid or a pregnant lady. Almost remember when it was more rare for a woman to get shot....
Interestings about all the rations and water supplies!!

Hi Val
I stopped and bought a whole Gallon of Regular for the Lawnmower this morning. It has dropped somewhat from last weeks high. Sixteen Cents cheaper so would be nice if I needed it for the car. However I only have 62 miles on the last fill-up which was last month I do not do lots of driving these days, I do some of my Shopping while walking which reduces the miles driven significantly. I can and often do walk by a Grocery Store, Produce Store, Dollar Store where I get my Quarts of milk and convenience stores. I do pass a Bagel store too, However they make Jumbo Bagels so I pass on by even though they are so tasty. Just like I passed on the free Donut yesterday and today when I swung by the Dunkin Donut for my One coffee a day.
I have a LifeStraw coming from Amazon in the next day or two since I went for the free shipping.
It appears that You have been Busy too.

Good morning!
Well, we got about a half an inch rain during the nite. Woke to slight breeze. Windy at times here with gusts around 30 mph. I had the house open and it was lovely. However it got too cold in the house, lol and I had to shut my living room window come noon.. I still have the back of the house open. It is only 71 in the house, but with the breeze, chilly! We are actually cozy at the moment. I do worry about the trees, as they are very tall and nearing their life expectancy. Branches are okay, though I do have a few large ones, the dogs do not need to be under if they go. I spent part of yesterday securing the back yard movables.
Yesterday was a long day. I am glad I had signed in as I did not get back to MFP. I had to be a little early for church and class in the morning. Then church. I headed to Publix which was supposed to be open till 5 pm. and closed on Monday. Well, they panicked I think, or maybe felt their employees had to get gas or something, because they greeted people at the door with the news they had shut down. It was only 12 noon. I know their warehouses are in Fla. but not sure how that would affect food in Prattville, already in the store. Of course I understand closing Sunday and all for Publix in Fla, obviously.
So, headed for Winn Dixie. All smiles and no apparent panic. Decided to get gas as I was down to 1/3. Finally on my third gas station I put in $20.00 as there were worried people behind me, hoping for gas. It was $2.69 for reg. but $2.89 for mid grade. I had 3/4 tank, so topped it off at at little gas station about a third of a mile from the house. I paid $3.99 a gallon for another 10 gallons. It was worth the price for peace of mind, though as I had small group in Montgomery last night.
Loved the humor. I would hope you would not get upset due to a bandwidth on your equipment. What is wrong with people.... Interesting on the dark meat chicken. I suppose it could be true, though it really is not as harmful as red meat. Probably the red meat eaters also eat other unhealthy carbs too in great quantity, which might not skewer the test, but that would be harmful. Well, that's me with the fat pockets in my abdomen and arms!!
North Korea is just scary. They are not bullies or mean... the leaders are psychopaths..IMO.
Three more pounds and I will be losing where I am grafted on MFP. Then to lose the hard 8 lbs or so to get back to losing new stuff. I am watching daily to not regain anything lost...
Wind gusts picking up now and cold slightly more steady light rain. Trees really moving, but under just scary.. I think ... it is 2 pm, so we are not in the main stream yet..not much traffic... Take care. The rt. eastern quad of the storm is way worse than us. GA. and S.C. getting the worst. Tonite will be interesting after dark. We have power for most of Al. so that is good!
Take care! Great job walking and love self control with the eggs, and potato hot plate. ...Jan

Well, we got about a half an inch rain during the nite. Woke to slight breeze. Windy at times here with gusts around 30 mph. I had the house open and it was lovely. However it got too cold in the house, lol and I had to shut my living room window come noon.. I still have the back of the house open. It is only 71 in the house, but with the breeze, chilly! We are actually cozy at the moment. I do worry about the trees, as they are very tall and nearing their life expectancy. Branches are okay, though I do have a few large ones, the dogs do not need to be under if they go. I spent part of yesterday securing the back yard movables.
Yesterday was a long day. I am glad I had signed in as I did not get back to MFP. I had to be a little early for church and class in the morning. Then church. I headed to Publix which was supposed to be open till 5 pm. and closed on Monday. Well, they panicked I think, or maybe felt their employees had to get gas or something, because they greeted people at the door with the news they had shut down. It was only 12 noon. I know their warehouses are in Fla. but not sure how that would affect food in Prattville, already in the store. Of course I understand closing Sunday and all for Publix in Fla, obviously.
I was wondering how the now Tropical Storm Irma was treating You. It appears that parts of Georgia have lost power and I saw a post from that area that their power had blinked off and on multiple times.
It was 62 on the front porch when I returned back home from picking up the car and 69 in the Living Room.
I did not get all my steps in, maybe later on...
I did walk a circuitous route to get my car and I was still a 1/2 hour early so I ate breakfast nearby the repair shop. I had two Eggs scrambled well, a small amount of the Hone Fries and toast. I had told them to cut the amount of the Potatoes back to around 1/4 and it appears they forgot Oh well most of them stayed on the plate which is a waste to me.
I guessed that You went elsewhere from the Publix
Locally I have three Grocery Stores nearby and soon a 4th when the Whole Foods opens up on the Highway. Which excludes mention of the Asian Food Center and the closer Indian Food Store and of course the convenience stores.
I would not have paid the $3.99 a gallon as that sounds like Price Gouging. I wonder if they'll get punished for it.So, headed for Winn Dixie. All smiles and no apparent panic. Decided to get gas as I was down to 1/3. Finally on my third gas station I put in $20.00 as there were worried people behind me, hoping for gas. It was $2.69 for reg. but $2.89 for mid grade. I had 3/4 tank, so topped it off at at little gas station about a third of a mile from the house. I paid $3.99 a gallon for another 10 gallons. It was worth the price for peace of mind, though as I had small group in Montgomery last night.
Some people do panic...
As I remember mentioning I am not sure how much I believe it about the meat. How many centuries have people been eating Poultry since it is quick and easy to raise.Loved the humor. I would hope you would not get upset due to a bandwidth on your equipment. What is wrong with people.... Interesting on the dark meat chicken. I suppose it could be true, though it really is not as harmful as red meat. Probably the red meat eaters also eat other unhealthy carbs too in great quantity, which might not skewer the test, but that would be harmful. Well, that's me with the fat pockets in my abdomen and arms!! North Korea is just scary. They are not bullies or mean... the leaders are psychopaths..IMO.
Three more pounds and I will be losing where I am grafted on MFP. Then to lose the hard 8 lbs or so to get back to losing new stuff. I am watching daily to not regain anything lost...
Wind gusts picking up now and cold slightly more steady light rain. Trees really moving, but under just scary.. I think ... it is 2 pm, so we are not in the main stream yet..not much traffic... Take care. The rt. eastern quad of the storm is way worse than us. GA. and S.C. getting the worst. Tonite will be interesting after dark. We have power for most of Al. so that is good!
Take care! Great job walking and love self control with the eggs, and potato hot plate. ...Jan
That North Korean leader is just nuts. OTOH I have heard that he is on steroids for some health condition and how much Steroid rage is affecting his judgement I do not know.
I saw a bottom crawl this morning on the local cable news channel before I headed out that there was a death attributed to Irma in Ga.
Stay Safe

Hi Val2 -
Good Morning,
It is grey and drizzly at times. But we should be returning back to normal. In a day or two we will be back up in the 90's. But it is like fall now and cool and great!! No wind any more. I have branches down, but not bad.
Boy, I would be heart sick if I was in Kentucky and losing my pension. Such mismanagement, and I bet they made money, and will be fine. Maybe they need to go to jail. Interesting about Tesla cars. Have consumers had a break since Ralph Nader is not helping anymore I can't remember if he retired or not, or died. Guess I will google after this.
Georgia has had a few deaths. I saw an article that two children died after being rescued from Fla. The families of both were in car accidents, separately where they had moved to rescue. I thought it was Ga. but it could have been upper Fla. I can't remember now. Pictures are just heartbreaking. Pictures from Savannah and Charleston were very surreal as the water moved in.
Glad you got your car back. How wonderful to live and be able to walk to so many conveniences!!
Take care!! Hope Jose decides what it is doing and does not head to you guys!
