Clammy?

The cause of an early morning fire north of San Diego was an electrocuted bird falling from an active power line
A bird carrying a snake in its talons struck power lines north of San Diego, sparking a hillside fire just west of The Merge.
San Diego Police arrived to the location on Dunhill Street near the intersection of Interstates 5 and 805 just before 6 a.m.
Flames were burning very close to businesses including the General Atomics building, officials said.
Officers called in San Diego Fire-Rescue crews who contained the fire within an hour.
Fire officials initially told NBC 7 a bird with a snake in its mouth was electrocuted on a power line and fell to the ground, sparking the fire. A photo released by officials later shows the snake in the hawk's grasp.
"A hawk that hit the high voltage power line, caught fire, and fell to the ground," SD Fire-Rescue spokesperson Lee Swanson said in a written release.
There were no structures damaged and no evacuations ordered.
This area of San Diego is home to many companies in the region's biochemical industry.
Kathleen was taking a nap until Frank went into the room yammering at the top of his lungs. He’s jealous of the attention she’s getting because of toilet training.
You should eat. I have Pink Drink and pretzels.
I ate. Two onion rings (HERKY things!) a drumstick and a wing. It will do me until my snack later, and my supper of yogurt. I don’t usually give in to the aromas of the deli counter at Smith’s, but today, I followed my nose...
I also got a couple of cold beers to go with it, but will wait until tomorrow to get the pink drink at Walmart. Maybe I should get some pretzels, too... ;o]
You should get pretzels, too. Harris Teeter has Utz 1-pound bags on a 2-for-1 special.
I think Frank is jealous of anyone who gets more attention than he does. He still wants to be the baby. Your life is so interesting, from an outsider’s point of view...I’m sure, though, that you have a much darker opinion of it all.
It’s our own little reality show ;-).
The byos are eating my pretzels, but at least they aren’t drinking my wine. I’m rewarding myself for remaining polite and chirpy through my stressful visits to the bank and the dentist.
Sally is going to the Cherokee Tribe Pow-wow this weekend with one of her friends. I’m sure it will be fascinating.
I got some white cheddar popcorn from Smartfood Brand — air-popped. 160 calories for 2 cups. I will only eat about 2/3 of a cup at a time, because I’m just not used to snacks like that. So it will take at least a week to empty the bag. Maybe longer, if I forget I have it... ;o])
I don’t like popcorn much, except for caramel-chocolate covered. The Cub Scouts don’t sell that kind any more.
At the rate you’re going, you’ll be thinner than I am by the time you’re well enough to travel.
EVERYbody wants to eat your pretzels!
The office here is closed today and tomorrow, so my rent check will sit in the safe until someone goes in to take it out.
Everything else has been mailed out or paid online. After I’ve gotten all the things that are on my list, I will see about squeezing in a haircut and getting the truck washed. It’s so pretty when it’s clean...but doesn’t drive for dirt...you know: Somebody please help me! I just washed my truck and can’t do a thing with it!
I missed getting the water bill in the mail today. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow. It should be lower, with so many teens gone. The byos take showers only when you force them too.
That is the planz! Of course, by the time I've reached my goal weight, it will show my age...
You want to weigh 71 lbs., at your height? Bad plan!
For some reason, my deodorant keeps failing me. This is a new development of maybe the last two months. (I suspect it has something to do with my birthday “present.” That just kind of tweaked everything.)
And since I can’t use anti-perspirants, I have to buy men’s deodorant. What a revoltin’ development this is! At least Old Spice is cheap! LOL!
Well, OK...you’re right. I lied. I probably meant something like “proportionately” for the comparison... :o|
Tom likes Old Spice. You can take that for what it’s worth ...
I have to change “flavors” of Old Spice periodically, because of the different formulas involved.
Tom doesn’t need to know I use it, too... ;o]
I won’t tell him if you don’t.
I suppose it’s only a matter of time before Patrick tells me he needs deodorant. Hard to imagine. He seems eternally about 9.
Clammy?
Ew.
You can always give him a refresher course..
You know - float a square of toilet paper in the bowl and tell him to aim for it.. ;-)
Made for hair that was so hard a sledgehammer wouldn't crack it...
