so sorry about the heat and humidity for all you sufferers . In short term very nice here as Dave and Bill say. Hi of 70 briefly yesterday. Probably hit 90deg a day or two next week but not humid. The issue for us isn't the heat so much as the huge swings in Temps without warning or time to acclimate. And after all in PDX…

Yup hoping for good AAA screen Steve. Sorry Sam to hear about Joanne's ordeal for sure!! Luv it Dave! Ye old percolating coffee vs French Press.

Sam: I too am soooo glad DGS is out of the hospital from rhabdomyolysis. Not fun. Like Dave it was chilly and rainy all day yesterday. Today is much better. Our pastor had a "rest" sermon today. Take a deep breath with all that goes on from our health to situations around us and the world. Yes Lee I pray for all including…

I agree with Lee. One always has to be careful overdoing muscle exercise as it can lead to rhabdomyolysis (muscle fiber extreme breakdown and ultimately associated kidney failure). My yoga teacher who was a very very fit lady worked extra extra extra hard hard with a personal trainer and ended up in the hospital with…

Extending my thoughts prayers and arms to Sam and his family. Temps have dropped here too in the low 70s after the one day of 82degrees. Hi tomorrow supposed to be 60deg and rainy. We definitely need the rain to somewhat dampen the wildfire threats. Onward and downward indeed gents

Unexpectedly popped up yesterday to 81 degrees of course when I was mowing lawn. A bit warm. Too much ups and downs to get use to the cold and warm days lately. Getting outdoors always help with my "dark" or depressing thoughts . I drag myself out of the house for sure. Good luck with Joanne Sam and also dealing with DMIL.…

Yes they are trying to make Nutria "table fare" as I understand it in places like Louisiana. We have the same problem with fur breeders bringing them to the NW and turning them loose in Oregon etc. They have become a real nuisance and I wonder if they aren't competing with the beavers for space. I haven't read that they do…

Guess I was AWOL Sunday. Yeah Steve also riding a bike make sure the seat is the right height and adjusted nicely fore and aft. With that and E-assist it should be decently easy on the knees. I have seen some local individuals riding kid sized bikes with their knees pumping up and down near their chins. Uhhh not good. I…

We hit 85 almost 86deg in PDX yesterday Hottest day this year so far I think. cooler today for sure. Boy I wouldn't mess with a 300 lb bear no matter what. My brother wrestled a bear one time in a publicity stunt. I don't think that bear weighed much and was short. I think you won a car if you could pin it. uhhhh no way!…

I was surprised about the new pope too although I felt there could be a new pope with South American connections and a more inclusive view. Now my sister's family in "Chi-town" can talk of having both a US President and a Pope. Hmmm maybe I could meet him?? Gosh Mike I am sooooo sorry about your piano teacher breaking…
