Good Morning everyone! And a fine morning it is in the steamy south...we're expected to have temps five degrees or so LOWER than we've been having of late! Yipeeeee!

GailA: Congratulations and thank-you for all of your hard work and dedication. I plan on visiting your Website later today (at lunchtime). I am so sorry for your loss, but commend you on your bravery to take on the system. Bravo! And, God Bless You.

{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}} to all....I'm off on another work-day journey...(and what a STRANGE journey it has been!)

A huge hug and congratulations to GailA for being highlighted today!

She is an inspiration and an example to all for her courage, her heroic actions on behalf of fellow Tennesseans and on behalf of all those who have suffered from the return of violent criminals into society by a justice system that is anything but just, and by her continued dedication to the right and the good for America and Americans!

And Tennessee has some beautiful mountain sights - sharing many with its neighbors in NC - like this site from the "shared" Great Smokies:

Actually, dansangel, in my neck of the woods, this has been a most pleasant summer, temperatures lower and less humid than usual.
For instance, this week the nights are to be from 61 to 69 - remarkable for August!

Many years ago, I lived one year in Rapid City, South Dakota, followed by 3 1/2 years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where it was below freezing half of the year.

With winter temperatures there hanging for WEEKS with HIGHS of 40 below zero (and around 50 below most of those days), I one day had a conversation with the Lord.

"Lord, you know I am not a whiner, but would you please send me next to a place with even SEMI-normal temperatures?
I promise if You do, I'll never complain about the weather again!"

His response??
Sent me to Myrtle Beach AFB, South Carolina, right across the highway from a State Park by the ocean!!

Yes - I've kept my promise!

What exasperates me is persons who when you have had a prolonged drought and twelve successive drops of rain fall, exclaim, "Oh - ah wish it would quit rainin'"!!
Empty minds filling any conversational void with empty words..:)))
