2011 - Day Two Hundred Thirty Six; Wednesday...

Okay, so here is the bad news (and if you pay attention you might pick up on a theme in this entry). I was on my way home from work this afternoon, and the weather reporter stated that we 'might get some really hot temperatures by Friday and into the weekend'. WTF? What do you think has been going on for the last three months or so? We have had REALLY HOT TEMPERATURES here ALREADY! We don't need anymore. We set a NEW RECORD today, and we expect to set another one every day for at least the next seven days. Today marked the 70th day this year that we had temperatures over 100 degrees. Not just 100 degrees, today it was 105. When the genius on the radio said it was gonna get 'really hot' this weekend, the thermometer in my car was registering 111 degrees. When I got home, one of the nuclear powered weather stations was reporting 115 and the other one said 105. Whatever! It is warm.

Bad and disturbing news. I followed a man (a boy really) down the Interstate this afternoon for about 15 miles or so, and he continually flicked the ashes from his cigarette out his 1964 Sea Mist Blue Chevrolet. How can a kid with such a cool car be so totally uncool and CLUELESS? If you have any sense in central Texas right now, you are constantly on guard for fires. Hundreds and hundreds of acres are burning weekly around here, and we are all living on dry kindling. It only takes a spark; we have had grass fires destroy hundreds of acres and homes caused by people driving on flat tires, parking in grass and the catalytic converter starts a fire, unattended bar-b-cues and ARSON! This kid (and anyone else that is so crassly negligent) should be charged with arson if it could be proved fires started be their poor decisions.

Finished with that...

Here is some bad news (if you are a snake). Jody reported that he collected only one egg today, but that one of the wooden nest eggs is missing. He also saw a pretty good sized snake in the coop today, so we figure the snake munched down on one of the wooden nest eggs. I wonder how long that will take. How long will it take for a snake to digest a wooden egg? CAN as snake digest a wooded egg? Is the snake pretty much a goner? Interesting things happen out here.

Okay, in conclusion (YIPPEE) I have done pretty good with this tank of gas, but that could change tomorrow and Friday. By my calculations, the actual MPG so far is more accurately reported at 171.83 MPG, not 172 MPG. BUT, I guess this cars calculator is programmed by Democrats to over-estimate the actual mileage so you will feel better about doing your part. Whatever! I think it is pretty good mileage, and I will keep trying to improve on my personal bests!

All week long I have felt like I was a day behind, like today should really be Thursday. And Jody reports that his week is just flying by.

Deeds, Actions, Changes, DUMB MASSES, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
