Good 56º raining morning! So far 1/4" since about 3am. Well, that's when I first heard the rain. Don't really know when it began to fall.
Here is the weather/radar map... looks like we are in for it. A "stay indoors day".
Yesterday started out sunny and clear. I hooked the weed sprayer to the riding lawn tractor and sprayed about 75 gallons of weed killer. Jason came up and weed-eated some more for me. Clouds moved in, breezes picked up, pressure started dropping, and it was HUMID! ICK. 81º and icky sticky. Deliver me from living in the South where it's like this all the time! Daddy was from Alabama and said, "your socks will never dry overnight!"
I went to town, mailed off books people had requested from my list, put $ in the bank, and got groceries. Back home I looked out and here was Mr. Skunk!
I ran out and took his picture. Poor fella, he turned around
and laid down.
A doe was laying under the trampoline and keeping a keen eye on Mr. Skunk....
She had enough so she booked out of there...
Poor
Mr. Skunk walked a little ways and then laid down again. He's dying. So sad. I hope he dies soon so his suffering will stop.

Then the turkeys thought that was a good idea the doe was under the trampoline, so they took over her spot!
Ok, dinner was rerun of the tortellini and sauce, salad, and a
glass of wine.
Historically this date....
1997 – Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield II – Tyson is disqualified in the 3rd round for biting a piece off Holyfield's ear.
..... this is a very very creepy human... a wife beater, rapist, crazy manic, 8 children by several women, 3 marriages, and they still keep trying to revise his career ... Animal Planet now? Come on.
And births this date include...
Such a funny lady. Such a sad death.
Fried Green Tomatoes ... a favorite movie!
Typical over the top Hollyweird extreme liberal. MAJOR Bush basher! Of course his initials are JC!
Seems to always play someone a tad off center!

Yesterday afternoon I went down to chat and have a glass of vino with PJ. Dave was off in the hills looking for more Koi for his fish pond. Apparently he has a source up there of abandoned fish. Anyway, the sky was looking ominous when I left here...
And down at PJ's the clouds were even more strange...
Maggie was happy to visit with Neko....
All I know. Nuff said. Ciao.

National Tapioca Day
Tapioca is a staple food in some regions and is used worldwide as a thickening agent, mainly in foods. Tapioca is gluten-free, and almost completely protein-free. 'Tapioca' in Britain often refers to a milk pudding thickened with arrowroot, while in Asia the sap of the Sago palm is often part of its preparation.
