I Love the 'Open Mike Tuesday!'
The Republican Party Needs New Leadership Desperately, or I'm Afraid it will Self-Destruct.

I Love Ted Cruz, and Wish All the Republican Leaders were like him!

I needed to vent yesterday. LOL

The Good Ole Boys in the GOP need to go now! We need more like Ted Cruz.

I’m an old Gal and I’m not picking on the old Guys ... but those of McCain’s ilk have passed the time that they should have retired.

“The Republican Party Needs New Leadership Desperately, or I’m Afraid it will Self-Destruct.”
I agree ... they are no different that the Harry Reids and Nancy Pelosis.
An ‘R’ after their names does not mean conservative!

I’m planning to have more Open Mic’s in the future ... not all will be political. I’m hoping for some fun ones. I now need to decide what Monday’s subject will be. Any suggestions?

Thank you, Meg. It is 80 here. That is about 10deg above normal.

Thank you for the happy Sun Flowers.

Mr Just has been eating seeds from his two plants for over a week. We have not had a frost yet so we still have lots of green. Grapes have been picked but we have been able to pick enough for off-the-vine grapes.

Recently I have been tempted to go back to bed after taking Marissa to the bus stop. So far only succumbed once.

Have a tremendous Tuesday.

ohhhhh Amy~ I hear you on grand's struggling with grades. It has been a terrible battle here with homework. He is such a bright boy but lacks in the " self-discipline" department.

It truly keeps us on our toes...

I'm so glad you are doing better!! Thank you for prayers on my hubby's behalf.

Good evening, my friends. Busy day today.

There is a hydraulic fracturing site across the street and on the other side of our only neighbor’s house.

The noise from their work is horrible, but we can’t hear it because The Fortress (our house) is made of brick and double-paned glass windows.
The only thing we can hear, without opening a door or window, is an enormous machine that has huge treads on it and sounds like a freight
train at top speed as it crawls along doing whatever it does. We’re not close enough to get a good look at any of that stuff, and I’m not about
to go snooping around over there. We have no sidewalks here.

Our neighbor is not so lucky. She lives in the former school house, and the noise is hard on her and her son who has terminal heart disease.
I do offer her a sympathetic ear when we talk on the phone, but all this noise is difficult for them.

The good news is that the frackers have finished (or suspended) their work near her house, and they’ve moved on toward the north and west
of us, we assume to start on the platform and drilling rig for another segment of the hydraulic fracturing grid.

They’re starting over with building roads and burying pipelines. We hope that they start mining soon.

Bryan is fine, the cats are fine, and it was a nice day today. We have so many windows on the south side of the house that it is an effective
solar heater, and the 40° outside temperatures today never triggered the heater because of the sunshine. The thermostat is set at 64° in winter
and 70° in summer.

Oh my goodness I hate loud noises..that keep on and on..I am glad you are so well insulated from it and the cold..
Sympathy for your neighbor..
I am loving this mild fall weather..no more triple digit days.
All is well with me and mine..Back agony abated and bit by bit I have been getting long neglected chores done..with lots of rests in between and uncharacteristic patience.

I am SO grateful to God for this break.

Incessant noises of any kind really rattle me. They make my tinnitus worse as well.

The actual mining will be relatively quiet, and the mined gases will be moved by pipeline to a
refinery about six miles from here that will compress the gases to liquids.

I’m happy that they’re mining here. And I’m positive that my neighbor will be a LOT happier
when the building and digging stop and the fracking starts.

New fuel sources are good and good for the local economy.
;o)
My grandmother had noises in her ear that I could hear myself..
She called it the kitten in her ear.

My synpathies.
I am noise sensitive..I get cranky.. though I don’t have your problem..I am fortunate to live in a quiet neighbor hood..except when new roofs were needed by all of us due to a hail storm..Mine and the next door neighbor’s house were maddeningly noisy..LOL
