    And more humor today, I exclude the first picture from being humor, Naturally, a Bit sad TBH.

    Hi
    I did some walking for an hour, The temperature this morning was 74 on the news channel and 75 degrees on the front porch. The Humidity is reported as being in the uncomfortable range, I agree BTW. By the time I got back home the temperature was 80 in the shade.

    Today is bake a Sweet Potato Bread(s) day by my brother. I drop my car off tomorrow for it's annual oil change and every two years State inspection. I must have put several hundred miles on the car since the last oil change :)
    The Bread goes with the car, They take care of us so we take care of them :)

    These Coloradans say Earth is flat. And gravity’s a hoax. Now, they’re being persecuted.
    The Flat Earth movement is growing in Colorado, thanks to technology and skepticism about science
    Every Tuesday at 6 p.m., three dozen Coloradans from every corner of the state assemble in the windowless back room of a small Fort Collins coffee shop. They have met 16 times since March, most nights talking through the ins and outs of their shared faith until the owners kick them out at closing.
    They have no leaders, no formal hierarchy and no enforced ideology, save a common quest for answers to questions about the stars. Their membership has slowly swelled in the past three years, though persecution and widespread public derision keep them mostly underground. Many use pseudonyms, or only give first names.
    “They just do not want to talk about it for fear of reprisals or ridicule from co-workers,” says John Vnuk, the group’s founder who lives in Fort Collins.
    He is at the epicenter of a budding movement, one that’s coming for your books, movies, God and mind. They’re thousands strong — perhaps one in every 500 — and have proponents at the highest levels of science, sports, journalism and arts.
    They call themselves Flat Earthers. Because they believe Earth — the blue, majestic, spinning orb of life — is as flat as a table.

    71 lost 'fireworks dogs' at San Diego shelters
    Dozens of scared or disoriented dogs left their homes during or soon after Tuesday’s Fourth of July fireworks and they are still waiting for owners to retrieve them from San Diego County animal shelters.
    County officials say animals unclaimed within the three-day holding period may be put up for adoption so owners of missing pets should check the lost and found website or visit shelters in person as soon as possible.

    Have a Great Tuesday

    Hi!
    Went to deep water aerobics this a.m. and the sauna for a few minutes. Came home, cleaned the bathrooms, because the cleaning team isn't coming til next week. The weather's pretty nice here, especially since I called my sister and they're over 100 in Colorado for a few weeks! Yuck!
    Hope you're feeling better, Jo.
    I've been waking up about 3-3:30 the last couple of nights, but I'm taking a new supplement and I think I need to adjust that.
    I haven't had mac and cheese in years! I guess it's one of those things I'll live without, as dairy doesn't agree with me.
    Roger, I really enjoyed walking in the park this weekend. It's so peaceful, and the trails go through mostly forest.
    Irene, guess you're getting lots of days to enjoy that pool! :)
    Happy Monday, everyone. :)

    Hi Vix
    It sounds as if You had a busy day on Monday.
    It is possible that it is the supplement.

    Mac & Cheese, it isn't the Dairy that bothers me, it is in this order, The Starches from the pasta and then the calories, hence the small amount I did eat. This is not the type of weather to be eating something that makes You feel hot and sweat :)

    It does sound like a Nice park, Do they have benches throughout the park too? Here in town they have them scattered throughout the parks and along the main roads.

    Enjoy Your Tuesday

    Good afternoon;
    I am feeling much better today. Yesterday I didn't do much of anything.
    Today I weeded my flower beds, went and bought a few more plants to replace ones that did not survive the winter. I kept watering them hoping they would come back, but no luck.
    I did 2 loads of laundry and ran some errands. I am now sitting out on the deck under the awning catching up with you all. There is a nice breeze.
    The weather is supposed to get humid over the next few days.
    Enjoy the day!

    Hi Joanne
    Sometimes You just need a day off from doing...

    I kept the bits of Sage plant that had a trace of roots when they broke off during the re-potting in moist soil and after a bit of wilt 2 out of the three took off and now have a new home with a neighbor. My One side of the family grandparents rooted Geranium cuttings every winter and the other side would pull them in the fall and hang them upside down in the basement to grow the next year.

    It sounds like a nice way to pass time sitting in a breeze.

    Have a Good Day

    Good morning.
    Roger..."alternate facts"...there are people who are willing to believe anything. The park does have benches, but not so many on the trails....I think there used to be more.
    Jo, glad you had a nice day. One of my hanging pot plants came back...I tried nursing it through the winter inside and it was looking barely alive, but it seems to be doing pretty well now...small, but growing. :)
    Off to play with clay this a.m.
    Supposed to go up to 90 today....stay cool! :)

    Hi Vix
    That kind of belief is the sort of thing that make you go hmm...

    The Geraniums I had inside are looking better after a split and repotting. Last year I had planted three of them into a hanging pot so that this year they were getting crowded and root bound.

    I wonder if they removed some or if they were stolen... I have heard of landscaping being stolen.

    Enjoy the Clay and stay cool. Currently at 10AM it it is now 85 degrees outback in the shade :(

    Good evening;
    While I was drying my hair this morning my lens popped out of my glasses and landed in the sink. This was the opposite lens from the other day. The screw had come loose. I managed to get it back together, but knocked the frame way out of wack. I went to work with crooked glasses. There is an eye doctor in the plaza where I work, so as soon as they opened I went and had them straightened. I think it is time to invest in a second pair of glasses just in case.
    Roger- my hubby says the flat earth society has been around for years.
    Those poor dogs, I think they should extend the shelter time to a week. I hope they all get home safely.
    Vix-the park that we go to has few benches and picnic tables.
    Have a good evening. :)

    and even more humor today, I do wonder why You would do that with (to) a cat?

    Hi
    I did some walking for an hour, The temperature this morning was 77 on the news channel and 75 degrees on the front porch. By the time I got back home from dropping off the car for its every two year inspection the temperature was 84 in the shade.

    I'm back home after dropping off the car, the walk back was only semi comfortable due to temperature and a high humidity.

    A story about the NYC subway system from Los Angeles, California.
    http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-ny-subway-20170701-story.html
    “Die Kitties Die!” screamed the headline in the New York Daily News when, in 2013, former Metropolitan Transportation Authority chief Joe Lhota criticized a decision to pause trains in a Brooklyn subway station to rescue a pair of kittens lost on the tracks.

    These days, New York so badly needs to get the trains to run on time that Lhota, whose unfortunate anti-cat comments caused a minor scandal, has been brought back as chairman of the transit agency.

    Extreme measures are in order to fix the 112-year-old subway system, and nothing — not budget cuts, political infighting, or cats — can stand in the way.

    Delays have doubled over the last five years, and accidents are on the rise. A subway derailed last week, crashing into a wall and igniting a trash fire after hitting equipment left on a track near 125th Street in Harlem. Nobody was seriously injured, but hundreds of terrified passengers had to evacuate through a smoky underground passage lighted only by their cellphones.

    On the heels of the derailment, Gov. Andrew Cuomo this week signed an executive order declaring a “state of emergency” on the subways, making official what many New Yorkers in their gut already know. The governor also allocated an additional $1 billion for improvements.

    Few think it will make much impact for the largest subway system in the United States, with 665 miles of track and 472 stations.
    Snipped
    To be sure, the system isn’t as bad as it was in the 1980s, when cars were covered with graffiti and riders had to look over their shoulders for fear of being mugged.

    Today the subways are in some ways victims of their own success. The city’s economy is booming and so is public transit ridership. Nearly 6 million people a day use the subway, up from 4 million in the 1990s, and they are packed into a system that has barely grown at all.
    Snipped
    “The system opened in 1904. It was designed in the 19th century. For the most part, it is still running on concepts that were developed by folks in the late 1800s, and that’s problematic in this, the 21st century,’’ Lhota said at the conference.


    Have a Great Wednesday

    Hi Joanne
    The park where I got eaten up by biting bugs is the one with a Gazebo, BBQ's, Picnic tables and benches :)
    Assorted areas for sports, Basketball, Tennis, soccer, baseball and more.

    I keep the last pair of glasses that I replaced as a backup pair FWIW. In the Past since I got my first pair my eyes have not changed much. Lately I am not so sure... However the older pair still works OK. I prefer the frames from the latest pair. The sides that go over my ears that hold them on are spring loaded so that they do not put much pressure on the sides of my head.
    These in fact

    Elasta 7201 01WK Light Brown Eyeglasses

    These glasses are so comfortable compared to the old one.

    Nice that You can get them repaired so close to work.

    The Sweet Potato bread is dropped off along with a 1/8 pound stick of butter that is a size they sell around here as well as Quarter Pound sticks and one pound Bricks, Whipped Cream Cheese and a container of ICBINB. All courtesy of my brother. They came out a little dense and we had to bake them twice as the baking went weird somehow :(
    OTOH very Tasty, The slices taste IMO just like a Sweet Potato Pie. I would think they would be delicious with Ice Cream, Cool Whip for those that use it, I would of course use real Whipped Cream if I did it. The Calorie Count as indicated on the can for RediWhip as an example is fairly low.
    For example:
    Extra Creamy
    Reddi-wip Extra Creamy offers even more of the whipped dairy cream you love—full, rich cream taste to top off your favorite sweet treats. Now that's something to be joyful about.

    Good morning.
    Went to the perio this morning and had my teeth cleaned. Need more work. They are checking with insurance for me.
    The park where we walk the trails is a county park and really nice. There are picnic areas and playgrounds, pavillions, grills, picnic tables, canoes, row boats , peddle boats and a nature center (with animals). My kids used to go to day camp there when they were little. I really like the trails because it just feels like a natural forest (except for the paths, but they're fairly primitive), and you can see the forest critters from time to time....deer, turtles, frogs, geese, fish, ducks, birds, etc.
    Happy Wednesday!

    Hi All. I posted some more humor except for the last picture which is just wrong in so many ways

    Hi
    I did some walking for an hour+ and 1 cent , The temperature this morning was 79 on the news channel and 77 degrees on the front porch. The humidity is very high, They were forecasting the humidity to be tropical for today, Tomorrow should be cooler.

    The car inspection, Oil Change and work on the Windshield wipers came to $175, Now I am good for the next two years for the inspection.

    Found this elsewhere and thought it worth sharing.
    Good thoughts to ponder
    If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the famous Erudite (comic) scientist who once said: "I woke up one morning, and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates."
    His mind sees things differently than most of us do. . . here are some of his gems:
    1 - I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
    2 - Borrow money from pessimists -- they don't expect it back.
    3 - Half the people you know are below average.
    4 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
    5 - 82.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
    6 - A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
    7 - A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
    8 - If you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain.
    9 - All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand.
    10 - The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
    11 - I almost had a psychic girlfriend, ...... But she left me before we met.
    12 - OK, so what's the speed of dark?
    13 - How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
    14 - If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
    15 - Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
    16 - When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
    17 - Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
    18 - Hard work pays off in the future; laziness pays off now.
    19 - I intend to live forever... So far, so good.
    20 - If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
    21 - Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
    22 - What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
    23 - My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
    24 - Why do psychics have to ask you for your name.
    25 - If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
    26 - A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
    27 - Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
    28 - The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.
    29 - To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.
    30 - The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
    31 - The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.
    32 - The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.
    33 - Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.
    34 - If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
    And the all-time favorite -
    35 - If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?

    A 37-year-old store clerk in Chicago got the second chance of a lifetime when an armed robber entered his south side store, pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger.
    The Chicago Tribune reports that at about 3:50 p.m on July 5, 2017, an armed suspect walked into the store on the 8400 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue in an attempted robbery. The suspect pointed his gun at the store clerk, but when he pulled the trigger, his gun jammed.
    http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-police-armed-robbery-thwarted-by-victims-who-hold-suspect-for-police-20170705-story.html
    A friend of the clerk’s spoke to reporters after the incident, saying his friend was “seconds away from a different outcome.”
    “The guy didn’t come in there to rob him, he came in to kill him and then rob him. He pointed the gun and pulled the trigger and it jammed. The clerk snatched the gun from him.”
    The clerk and a co-worker were able to subdue the suspect and secure the firearm until police arrived on scene.
    The clerk was treated at Advocate Trinity Hospital for cuts and bruises. Police say he was taken there in fair condition.
    Charges are pending against the 20-year-old suspect.


    Have a Great Thursday

    If I said I do not like any dental work...
    I hope the further work needed is nothing serious.

    It sounds like a nice park. It must be nice to use.

    Hi, we're pretty lucky here with our parks. There's usually plenty of room, not overcrowded.
    Went to painting class this morning, and have an appt with the chiropractor this afternoon. It's hot out, so staying in most of the day. Did my PT exercised in the a.m.
    The dental work would be taking some tissue from the roof of my mouth and putting it on the gum where it has thinned and the bone is starting to come through. I'm not happy about it, but I would like to keep my teeth as long as possible. He said I could probably use a z-pack, which is only 5 days of antibiotic, and I may be able to avoid my issues with antibiotics that way. I don't really want to mess with any of it for a while. Everything seems to set me off kilter these days.

    hi all, I have been busy the last couple of days I spent in Trenton on packing up stuff I won't be using for a while I have my computer room all cleaned and empty so now in the fall I just need to paint. Today I stayed in Browns Mills did some light cleaning and put some stuff away that I brought up from Trenton. I did get on the treadmill for 25 minutes it is the first time in a while. Tomorrow I go to get my hair done it has really grown.

    Good afternoon;
    Irene-Do you plan on selling the house in Trenton or renting it?
    Vix-I am sorry you are having dental problems. The procedure sounds uncomfortable, but if it will save your teeth it is worth it.
    Roger-Love the points to ponder. Congrats on the 1 cent. I stopped to pick up a penny yesterday and some guy made a comment, "you rich people always pick up pennies." I wasn't quick enough to think of a comeback. I should have said that's how I got rich. :)
    This morning as I was cleaning my glasses, the lens popped out again. The screw had come loose. Hubby put a new screw in, but now the glasses were off kilter again. So after work I went to the eye doctor and had them fixed. I also asked for a copy of my prescription. I then went to Target and got new frames and lenses for $139.99. That is a huge savings than if I got a pair at the eye doctor's office.
    It is a lot cooler here today compared to yesterday. I actually had on a thin jacket when I was out.
    Have a great evening. :)

    How Bad is Crime in Chicago? Police Search for 6-Year-Old Armed Robbery Suspect
    Posted at 2:25 pm on July 12, 2017 by Jenn Jacques
    If you thought Chicago’s gun problem couldn’t possibly get any more insane, you’re not going to believe this story.

    On Saturday, July 8, 2017, Chicago Police issued an incredulous community alert from detectives warning Near South Side residents of an unlikely robbery crew of suspects that includes “a 6- to 8-year-old boy” armed with a silver handgun.
    The suspects committed at least 11 armed robberies in June in which they traveled in groups of 3-9 armed robbers and approached victims; either demanding valuables or taking property by force before fleeing the scene.


    Gorka Tells CNN Anchor: Russia Coverage Explains Why Cartoons Now Beat You in Ratings
    Last week Matt reported that CNN is in a ratings battle with Nick-at-Nite - and losing. Seriously. A recent study showed that CNN had plummeted to No. 13 in the 8-11 p.m. time slot.

    Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to President Trump, was happy to come on CNN and share that information with anchor Alisyn Camerota on Wednesday.

    White House Advisor @SebGorka: Nickelodeon’s Nick at Night gets more evening views than CNN. https://t.co/xHbtxumPCf
    — NTK Network (@NTKNet) July 11, 2017


    A big reason that viewers are abandoning the network, studies suggest, is that CNN has been obsessed with all things Russia. Heck, the network mentioned Russia almost 16,000 times in their coverage since the inauguration.

    “The amount of time you spend in desperation on a topic that has plummeted you to 13th place in viewership ranking across America,” Gorka told Camerota. “I mean more people watch Nick-at-Nite cartoons than CNN today.”
    "Our ratings are just fine," Camerota pushed back, arguing that her network has polling to suggest Americans are very interested in the Russia story.
    Again, Gorka pointed out the stats - CNN was in the 13th spot, and Nick-at-Nite was at No. 11.
    CNN had a terrible week last week. First, producers and anchors were exposed by Project Veritas for intentionally reporting on Russian collusion despite it being "mostly bulls***" and a "nothing burger," while also calling American "stupid as s***" and calling Trump a "f***ing crazy clown." Then, the network also threatened to expose the Reddit user who created the now infamous gif of President Trump body slamming the network.

    Have a Great Thursday

    Hi, we're pretty lucky here with our parks. There's usually plenty of room, not overcrowded.
    Went to painting class this morning, and have an appt with the chiropractor this afternoon. It's hot out, so staying in most of the day. Did my PT exercised in the a.m.
    The dental work would be taking some tissue from the roof of my mouth and putting it on the gum where it has thinned and the bone is starting to come through. I'm not happy about it, but I would like to keep my teeth as long as possible. He said I could probably use a z-pack, which is only 5 days of antibiotic, and I may be able to avoid my issues with antibiotics that way. I don't really want to mess with any of it for a while. Everything seems to set me off kilter these days.

    Hi Vix
    I want to retain my teeth too :)

    We had some thunderstorms pass south of us yesterday and did have rain around 5PM.
    Then Overnight when I got up I could see it was starting to rain. It was lightly raining when I left the house and thus I was wearing the rain jacket and I started to sweat from the humidity and the lack of air flow through the Rain gear.

    Good morning.
    It is only supposed to go to 88 today, with p.m. t-storms. Off to zumba.
    Jo, sounds like it was time for a new pair, you did well. :)
    Irene, enjoy your haircut.
    Hi Roger, thanks for keeping the funnies coming.
    Happy Friday, everyone! :)

    Enjoy Your Zumba
    I think there is a possibility of Thunderstorms later today so I will be off to Costco to get there when they open.

    No problem with the funnies

    Good afternoon;
    We have had light intermittent rain and low humidity all day.
    When I got home from work the birds were making a noise that I hadn't heard before, so I went outside to see if I could see what kind of bird it was. I went over near the tree and looked up into the face of the hawk. He looked at me and spread his wings and took flight. I guess the birds were making a warning sound thats why it sounded different.

    Good morning.
    Jo, do you know what type of hawk it was? We see a lot of the red-shouldered hawk here.
    Happy Saturday...off for a walk in the park.

    And still more humor today, enjoy

    Hi
    I did some walking , The temperature this morning was 67 on the news channel and 70 degrees on the front porch. The humidity is still high, What they are calling tropical for today for tomorrow, It should be warmer and the humidity will be dropping.

    We had off and on rain mostly on for most of Friday. It was raining when I got up and the last of it disappeared by 6:45PM. When I went out the door this morning the streets were still semi wet and I found that there was a light misting happening. The Thunderstorms and severe weather was south of Us, Most likely Irene had worse weather.

    I was out the door at CostCo nice a quick, $108 lighter in the wallet however.
    I picked up 2 bags of Frozen Normandy Mix and 1 Green Beans, a refrigerated package of Pot Roast to use as a PF. The hot cooked rotisserie 3 pound chicken that scales 4 pounds 5+ ounces in the package. 5 Pounds of Clementines, Gala Apples, White Nectarines and a 10 pack of $4 off Kleenex and a Protein Shake. Sadly they only had Vanilla today and I was looking for a Chocolate and a Vanilla Case of each.

    Have a Great Weekend

    Hi Joanne
    Yesterdays news showed a hawk sitting on a window ledge looking into the apartment in Manhattan for a while before flying off.

    You could be right about the warning sound. I see hawks and maybe buzzards circling and riding thermals a lot around here.

    I would not have minded the rain if the humidity had not bee high.
    I turned on the Wall AC in the living room to cool and dehumidify the Main floor as it was up to 76+ degrees when I got home from walking. As long as I leave the doors open it does a decent job cooling the entire floor. It is a large 220 Volt unit.

    Have a Nice Saturday

    Hi Vix
    I wanted to go further than I did, However after 4 nights of poor sleep...

    I hope Your weather is better for walking than it was here. I forgot to take the large plastic I carry with me so I can stay dry if I need to sit on a damp or wet surface and ended up with a wet backside, Oops :( I tend to sit down now ad then when I am walking so I can free my hands to clear my nose. It is nigh unto impossible to do while walking what with the Walking stick in the right hand and the Coffee cup in the left hand :)

    Enjoy Your walking

We did get a little of rain in Browns Mills but not much . Our pool cover has a lot of rain on it we pretty much cover it every night because we have a lot of trees and we don't want all those leaves in the pool.

    Vix-I am not sure what time of hawk it was.
    Irene-Have you heard back from Amazon about your job?
    Roger-Sorry you are sleeping poorly. Do you have any idea what is causing it?

    And even more humor today

    How to treat acid burns, and what to do if you are involved in or witness an acid attack – all you need to know
    Following the worrying rise in acid attacks, here's the important information you need to know

    THE alarming spike in acid attacks on the streets of Britain is a terrifying threat with the potential for catastrophic and life-changing injuries.

    Last night two teenagers were arrested after two suspects riding a moped carried out five horrific attacks in Stoke Newington, Hackney and Islington, police said.
    How SHOULD you treat acid burns?
    The most important thing you can do in the event of an acid attack is to douse the victim in running water, rather than a wet cloth.
    The water dilutes the acid, and so it's important to keep refreshing with new, clean water, as quickly as possible.
    The most important thing you can do in the event of an acid attack is douse the victim's wounds in fresh, running water for as long as possible

    Hi Irene
    When do You want to sell the house...
    There are no hardwood floors under the rug?

    That is good news regarding the rain.
    It must be a pain in the neck covering and uncovering the pool daily.

    I am not in pain, Just to many trips to the comfort station so to speak.
    I'm not sure where all that water is coming from, I am not drinking any more than usual either. TMI?

    Have a Nice day
    Roger

    Hi Irene
    I am sorry too, I wish I knew the root cause. Unless it is the Raw Cauliflower I have been having with my dinner, I have been eating it between courses to cleanse my tastebuds.

    I have found that if You do nap like that it was needed.

    Have a Good Day
