Great to have you drop in at the beginning of the week.
We even had a couple of fairly significant rainfalls over the weekend – for which we are grateful. Still the grass in front hasn’t quite waked up yet. But it’s lost its brownish hue.
Things are progressing on toward the end of Summer… although I remember some hot days walking to school in September. Even listening to the World Series in the late summer… mostly it was hot. But Al Gore – and now even Mitch Romney say they think summers are hotter… I reckon some day we’ll be fit to find out. Although I never hear anything but howls about the cyclic nature of trying to measure the weather.
Well… the WX guys take enough guff from pilots and people who don’t enjoy walking in the rain without umbrellas or rubber shoes… I’m not sure I’d be pleased with that kind of job. But then nobody’s offered me one. (J)
I do remember some days in winter…when flying was NOT the thing I definitely wanted to do – but there was the job to be done. Thankfully I had the good sense to call off flying in T-storms down in the Florida area north of Orlando which they call Thunderstorm ally in the summer time. And I’ve heard some pretty dicey – icy stories about flying up north in winter. (I also experienced it a few times.) But I tell you the guys and gals who take on the job of getting you from here to there on time and with your baggage… well they are usually the kind of folks I like.
But every day can’t be sunny and smooth… it’s just not the nature of … well nature.
There’s stormy weather awaiting out there in the political scene. But Mr. Obama with AF One … and a top notch group of airmen (and women) their job is to get them there on time and back on time… even if they have to fly high and around and back… they are a class act.
OK… not much else to say today. There was a war between the Libyan regulars and irregulars trying to get started before I wrote this script… maybe it’s blossomed by now. Just tune in as often as you can to stay with the scene.
Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
DON’T GET HIT BY THE BUS
Just a Minute: At this stage in the political season – it’s hard to know which way to look when crossing the street. When I was trying to tie the program together, the ‘war’ in
So remembering my Dad’s instruction to his rookies was – “Keep your eye on the ball.” That’s about the most useful advice to follow in trying to handicap politicians in this stage of what’s happening politically nationally, internationally and locally.
We’re so far removed from the target – November 6th 2012 –it’s hard to even tell where it is much less try to hit the bull’s eye. So we’ll probably do just about as well by checking on the President’s golf game, though for sure the Secret Service won’t release the score.
Down on the farm about the only thing going on – besides chores and tending the garden – was eatin’ Sunday dinners or going to a Methodist camp meeting.
And Yeah … I know … the school year has already started but you can still get a good running start on it … and not much is likely to happen ‘till after Labor Day anyway. Pay attention to the teachers. It’ll pay off in the end.
