First off, I am glad that everything seems to be working again. Having just got back and in touch with all the friends I had made here, I was absolutely sick thinking that maybe it was all over again!. Luckily, I'm still here!. Lol.

FIRES - Summer is fire season, and it's been pretty dangerous here. Temps are now mostly in the 90's, and we've had some dry lightning. There are two huge pine trees in my backyard, and the roof is covered with pine needles. A huge fire hazard. A friend told me I have to get those off pronto!. I have never been on the roof, so this would be interesting. Others thought so too, because family and friends were setting up cameras and folding chairs for the "show". Thankfully, it went well, now if only my neighbors would pick up their junk pile they throw over their back fence onto the side of their house, next to my garage, would clean up!. Neighbors, I tell ya...

TORNADO - We don't get them here, but one was spotted about 45 minutes from where I live the other day. It was a big thing. BREAKING NEWS coming in on the TV. Everyone was sure this was going to be a big thing, and some were ducking for cover. No need. It didn't get far. Some damage a few towns over, but that's about it.

WEDDING - This saturday is my oldest nieces' wedding. It's outside in a rose garden devoid of trees or shade of any kind. The weather for tomorrow?. Nearing 100 with overcast skies. So, it will be HOT HOT HOT, and with the clouds, really humid. Should be fun!.

So, this is what I have been busy with here lately. Not exciting, but there is so little you can do when it is so hot. I don't have air condition in the house or car. It's well over 80 in the house when I go to bed at night. Is it October yet?.

Also, I did an 80s movie countdown a while back that was a lot of fun. I plan on doing something on the decade again. In the meantime, if you are an 80s fan, I found a great forum at http://www.fanforum.com/f129/ It's a fun thread that is in need of more posters. :)
