Aloha Night Owl!

Actually it's been dry here...with vog. So no rain to spare, sorry.

But on the bright side, polar bears are now on the protected species list...so they'll be dropping in from time to time in your neighborhood.

P.S They like glycol...in your antifreeze. So keep your car in the garage.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yes, the nitwits who know nothing have screwed Alaska once again. The envirowackos are thrilled and suing to lock us up tight. We are not to be able to use ANY OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES. Thank you J***y C****r, you idiot! Our Governor, Sarah Palin, is gonna fight it.

Ships passing indeed hon!

I went to Sonboys show tonight & got home late.

Had to make some scrambled eggs before bed. lol

I still haven’t managed to shake this thing so going back in tommorow.

[AZamericonnie]

LOL....just be careful where you fall asleep on the desk!:)

Silly me accidentally got my chin to close to a lil cholla cactus one afternoon while doing some cleaning up. Had a spiney beard! :/

It’s been raining off & on all day & the temps have really plumeted!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, AZ, for the red, white, and blue tribute.

[AZamericonnie]

Rain? Rain? You get rain? Good for you. Still hoping here.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and rest well, HJ. Thank you for your service to our country and for helping honor our troops.

Helicopter just passed overhead....Lifeflight almost to the hospital!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thank you, Narmy, for your service to America.
Prayers for your safety and success of mission.

[MoochPooch]

Gut Shabbes to you too, Kathy. Also Lag B’Omer, which is tonight — & Memorial Day weekend. A nice, tidy package.

[AZamericonnie]

YES! We actually got rain & the temps dropped from triple digits to the 60’s!

We are very near the hospital as well & get lifeflights overhead frequently.

Within a quarter mile we have the fire dept, hospital, police station & cemetary.

I guess we covered all the bases!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Very nice, your temp drop. Did you go walking in the rain?

You are in a perfect spot for all needs.

Helo flights directly overhead are coming in from out in the valley, about an hour drive.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A busy weekend in store for you? Editing? Writing?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Happy almost weekend, Mayor....hope you have finally gotten rid of the crud. Thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
