~ July 4th ~

Good 83º afternoon.  Clear, sunny, breezy.

 

A lot of tragic 4th of July accidents .... people injured, killed, boats burned..... Then there are the idiots who think it's ok to shoot off (illegal and legal) fireworks night and day for days! Irregardless of the hour, friends have complained about fireworks being set off in their neighborhoods at 1 and 2 am! Dogs are upset, babies awakened... So not right. No common sense. Not one iota of care or concern about their neighbors. Adam Henrys!!

Two things that absolutely chapped my hide about this 4th of July holiday.... We need to do some huge amount of 'recycling' and quickly!

Brian, Sami, and Tucker came over early Thursday to get some fish from Dave. He has an overabundance of fish and Brian has a newly refurbished pond, so Dave said he could have some fish for it. That done I later went over to Brian and Jen's for a barbecue.. Nice time and lots of good food. I made a Smilebox... On my way yesterday afternoon there was lots of smoke over Grants Pass. Today I found out the 80+ acre fire was on the road adjacent to Galice Road (Stratton Creek Rd and Hog Creek Rd) close to Hog Creek County Park and just up the road from Indian Mary Park.

Oh, and BTW, Sami had lost 3 teeth in one week.... another is loose...   I hope everyone had a good 4th. Just took most of the day off today. Catching up....   For history and births you can go to the archives on the left and read last years. All I know. Nuff said.
