Saturday

Lots of FFF over the last couple of days. Figge on Thursday night for fireworks. (2 was the event director for the museum that night and she did a great job.) BBQ at my place on Friday night: another smashing success. And it looks like today will have a full dance-card as well.

Hard to believe, but my yard needs rain. I've been watering my potted annuals all along, and they need it at least every-other-day now.

34+ early this AM for a little breakfast at Hardee's in Eldridge. Just enough wind to make the trip home a little work.

Worst service ever at Gov's yesterday for our FFF lunch. If that place had just a little competition in the immediate area, it would have trouble staying afloat. It was one of those days where the staff lost touch with reality. Kind of like the Lakers in game six of the recent NBA finals. They didn't show up.

I've been dealing with a small, but irksome situation with carpenter ants in my kitchen. I've always had a few bugs in my basement, spiders, megapods, etc., and I'll spray occasionally and they're gone. These ants have been a little more hearty. It seems that they come in through the bottom of my back door frame, and I've sprayed several times. None now for a couple days. Stubborn little creatures.

Female swimmer Dara Torres has qualified for her fifth Olympics. At age 41. I thought that this was a great story, and in searching for a current picture, I came across an ESPN column that essentially said, "She's gotta be doping." And the comments after the article were hot and cold on the writer. No in between. I choose to believe in her.

Off to the golf course with 3 and 4.

Have a great day.
