I never really got to sleep again today. I hate that.



I stayed up after the telemarketer called and piddled around the house. Watched tv, ate lunch, then I finally got the energy to ride tonight. 26 miles to Lafayette-West Lafayette, Indiana. If you look them up, you will find they demand that you maintain the difference between the two town. The Wabash River flows between then. Ok. It's like Tazewell and New Tazewell, TN. Somebody got mad because they didn't get elected mayor of the old one, moved down the road, and set up a new town. So there!

God bless you, Jamee. I hope this all gets taken care of soon. And I hope that Stevie and TK can get some more energy or rest or whatever they need. It's tough being a new parent. But we all made it and you will, too. We'll help you. That's what families are for and we have the best ones.

Last night was a long one because of our potential flooding and all the weather we had to deal with on shift. Tonight will be even longer because the weather is largely over and it will be tough to stay awake. Besides that, it's Loren's second mid shift and he starts plunging into the abyss on this one.

We had 7.88 inches of rain at the house in July. About twice the normal. It's just been raining every day and pure soggy for the last week. At one point, we has six inches of water running out of Seven Oaks for about 30 minutes. I've never seen it like that. Panther Creek was actually across Panther Creek Road for the first time in ten years.

Hey, Cindy. I made a new casserole. I sliced up potatoes and laid them on the bottom of the pan, then some peas, then some celery soup, and the more potatoes, then a layer of canned chicken, and then some more celery soup, and then croutons. It sucks. Just so you know.

I ate the rest of my experiment, because I was starving to death and there is no food in the house and no money left to buy any. We are poor church mice living on the crumbs left over by the people above.

Yes, I saw the pics. He is a bruiser, isn't he? He does look like TK, too. Someday he will marry the daughter of former hippies, named Arrow. Get it? Beau and Arrow. Oooh, I'm all a-quiver.
