OK, If I can find a crowd watching the eclipse, I am going to run outside, glance up and scream: OMG!!! I AM BLIND!!! How did that go Bluerobin ? I hope you caused a goodish amount of consternation The only crowd I could find was a bunch of really young kids at the library. They would have been scared, especially when I jumped back in the car and drove off. I bit my tongue. They were cute though, they all had their little viewers.

Good Morning Kids! Of course, now that the eclipse is done, the sun is back out here today. Lots of errands to get done today, so I'd better get to it.

OK, eclipse is over, everyone back to work! My brother was working in downtown D.C. near the Smithsonian and was harassed by a group of earth-enders (people who thought the eclipse signaled that the world was going to end). They offered to sell him an "end of the world" suit. He did not buy it, but figured he should go have a good lunch instead. He found a very good sushi restaurant. I am working at home today. Writing and looking at other part time work possibilities. Will be offline shortly to go wash the floors. Rain expected here later today as Invest 92-L comes ashore today and tomorrow. The TV weather nerds are going nuts.

Good Grief NancysSummerSip! Do they number the tropical storms, instead of naming them now? Got my morning errands done, including a stop at my favorite butcher shop. Temps are VERY cool here for this time of the year, barely hitting 70 degrees. Hope this doesn't mean an early Winter. If it does, I will NOT be a happy camper!

Storms are numbered before they are named. This one isn't even a wave at this point; the weather term is invest: An invest in meteorology (short for investigative area, alternatively written INVEST) is a designated area of disturbed weather that is being monitored for tropical cyclone development. - from Wikipedia. Basically, it is clouds and rain. Seriously, it isn't even as bad as a normal rainy day. BUT THERE'S A TEN PERCENT CHANCE IT MIGHT DEVELOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Hello Muffins, oh what a bloody night I had, I ate something that didn't agree with me. It's also raining like crazy here today. UGH all around me here today. I hear you. The kitchen ran out of the meal I ordered at work. So later, at the end of my break the asst mgr told the kitchen to make something up for me including fries. I think it was just too much frying oil for me and that's why I couldn't sleep because I wasn't feeling that well. My original meal would have been pork loin with rice and green beans. I ended up with fried chicken, coated fries (not just regular fries), and a couple small pieces of corn on the cob probably soaked in butter.
Real hot and humid here. Should be better tomorrow.

Hello Muffins, how are you all doing ? Today is much nicer, but there is a definite coolness in the air here, and I heard a flock of geese flying overhead last evening heading your way south. Fall is in the air up here.

Hello hump day peeps!
Been working on freelance stuff this morning. Will get up for a bit to do laundry and the grocery list. I will be out all day tomorrow working at my "real" job, possibly Friday as well, depending on how much we get done tomorrow.

Good Morning Kids! It's sunny but cool here, with our morning temps in the mid-60's. Seriously, August is normally our hottest month (as well as July). We just haven't gotten those nasty-hot days here this year.

I'm getting ready for my all nighter. My shuttle to the airport leaves at 2:45 am and I'm sitting in the hotel lobby probably from 8 pm until then. I'm not paying the price they wanted to charge for a hotel room. More than double the usual cost. It's the principle as well as the money. I have trashy romance novels courtesy of my aunt to while away the hours.

Ouch, zibazinski! I understand the principle of the issue, but it sounds like pain to me. Hope you've got access to LOTS of caffeine. (If it makes you feel any better, I woke up at 2 am the day we began our long drive to go on vacation.)

I'll shower before I leave here again and change my clothes.

Makes sense to me, zibazinski. I didn't sleep well that night anyway, as I was worried I'd sleep past my alarm. And yes, I drove from the time we left home until sunset, somewhere in Tennessee.

It's doom and gloom on the news in Oregon. Harvey? No, it went south of us. Invest 92-L is upon us, though. Just rain and clouds, kinda typical for a day here. Squally stuff, on and off.
