Hi
I did some walking once again, The temperature this morning was 65 on the news channel and 66 degrees on the front porch.
It rained Yesterday starting more heavily late morning and was still raining at 7PM. According to the Cable news channel we had around .7 inches of rain. That means a couple more days we will not need to water.
Have a Great Tuesday

Prof lets students choose own grades for 'stress reduction'
on Aug 07, 2017 at 11:34 AM EDT
A University of Georgia professor has adopted a “stress reduction policy” that will allow students to select their own grades if they “feel unduly stressed” by the ones they earned.
Similarly, students who feel stressed by "group dynamics" are allowed to walk away from their groups without explanation, and will only be graded on "non-group work."
The professor acknowledges that "this policy might hinder the development of group skills and mastery of the class material," but says this is each student's own responsibility.
According to online course syllabi for two of Dr. Richard Watson’s fall business courses, he has introduced the policy because “emotional reactions to stressful situations can have profound consequences for all involved.”

Hi
I still did not do any walking today, I still have a sore throat. The temperature this morning was 70 on the news channel and 72 degrees on the front porch, FWIW. I can see we had some light rain overnight.
I went looking for some Blackberries this morning, I found one ripe one and several not ripe. It appears that production is done for the year.
FWIW I went to the medical place as I am still feeling poorly, Tired, Sore Throat and weak. I took the visit to the Medical place as a excuse to stop for Fruits on the way to Pharmacy.
I'm back, the rapid strep throat test came back negative, The throat is inflamed and for now they are trying Amoxicillin. Wish me luck.
BTW I do not know if it is different here in NJ than Where You are?
Here they do not give You a written Prescription, It is sent to You Pharmacy electronically. That sort of Hinders shopping around. I do know not to use CVS as they are high. I paid $11 for the last and the current pills at the local pharmacy.
I picked up a bag of Mineola's. A couple of Pink Lady Apples, a Couple of Nectarines and some greenish Bananas. They also had some decent sized Salads that run 210 to 290 calories per servings AKA bowl. They were Bacon & Turkey Cobb Salad, Cranberry & Walnut Salad and a Caprese Salad so I thought I would try them. I have had all three types from other sources and liked them.
Signature Farms Cranberry Walnut Salad
More of a side dish than a meal, this salad is fresh, but the toppings are chintzy. The raspberry vinaigrette is much too sweet and lacks acid. A 4.5 ounce salad has 210 calories, 9 g fat, 450 mg sodium, 7 g protein.

Former Los Altos baseball player sues coach after being benched, claims bullying
By Hayley Munguia, The San Gabriel Valley Tribune
Posted: 08/14/17, 3:13 PM PDT Updated: 15 hrs ago
A former Los Altos High School student and baseball player is suing the school district and his former coach for hundreds of thousands of dollars because the coach repeatedly benched him.
According to the suit, the school’s head varsity baseball coach, Gabriel Lopez, repeatedly refused to let 17-year-old Robbie Lopez, no relation, play throughout his senior year. The suit claims this constituted a pattern of “harassment and bullying.”
The teenager and his parents are seeking $150,000 or more, according to the suit.
Hacienda La Puente Unified athletic director Andrew Formano and assistant superintendent of human resources Jill Rojas both said they could not comment on the matter. Gabriel Lopez did not respond to a request for comment.

Hi
I did a little walking today, I still have a sore throat. The temperature this morning was 76 on the news channel and 75 degrees on the front porch.
It started raining about 10 minutes before I left to get some coffee. If I had not slept in late I could have been ahead of it
It kept alternating between a light rain and heavy rain with periods of Thunder.
I have ended up with the bottom of my shorts wet from the rain since I only wore the Rain Jacket. It was not that comfortable between the Humidity, Temperature and lack of air flow from the rain gear. I hope Your day goes well. The rain is forecast to go away later and then come back late afternoon with Thunderstorms again.

I stopped for Two Scrambled Eggs with Today's choice by me of Rye Toast and a few of the really crispy Home Fries and I broke down and used a package of Strawberry Preserves and a Grape Jam between the Two slices of Rye Toast lightly spread for the taste.
Today's High is forecast to be in the 70s and I expect it may be all of 70 when I go out to mow later
No chance of rain for a couple of days. The Cherry Tomatoes are in high production mode along with the Zukes and Peppers. We have been handing them off to friends to keep them from being wasted. Usually a Pint container of the cherry tomatoes at a time along with a couple of Zukes and 5 or 6 of the Green Mild Chili Peppers. The Onion Sets that were planted in June have finished growing and the tops on most of them have died down. The Carrots are ready to eat so We can pull them as needed. Some of the Corn has ears of corn growing on them. Hopefully the Four Legged critters do not get to them before They mature and I get them picked.
My Brother had a interesting point regarding mowing the Lawn
He will be out of the driveway today which will make it easier to use the driveway to turn around so, I will be mowing today when he goes to the Grocery Store. I expect it will be nice and cool even at 10 or 11AM.
