The guy in the black truck rear ended the boat trailer and launched the boat.
Stuck the landing.
Wrote this last night and just never hit the button to post it. I must have been tired.
Nothing to report on the goat front. She's been listless all day but shows no objective signs of impending labor. We're now one week into the 3 week gap between breedings. Marta wasn't sure the first one took so she put her back in with the buck the next time she came into heat (every three weeks). Marta says there's no way her udder could be this big if her due date is 7/11, but we can't help but wonder.
I have stretch marks on my toe. As in, it's been pretty swollen for a long time. Tomorrow marks two weeks since the nail was removed and I sure thought I'd be mostly healed by now. Nope.
Cloudy until noon, but mid-70's and sunny since. I wire brushed and painted (black) the correct 4-lug rims we got when we were in AZ a couple of months ago, but the hubcaps, correctly called wheel covers, are pricey so I'll wait to get them, do the switch and put the new wheels and covers on.
I also sprayed the Ace Hdw version of RoundUp (cheaper) around the place where I'll eventually put down straw go make the place look a little neater. Next spring I'll surprise Pam and spread wildflower seeds.
And worked on that journal article. Three or four paragraphs.
On the CBS national news tonight they talked about the antagonism from the administration toward the press, amped up because of the mess over at CNN with a retracted story about collusion with Russia that led to the resignation of three writers. The anchor went on to say that the press aren't the only ones pushing false information and cited examples of the President's falsehoods.
Love it. It's OK that we lie because they do, too.
Remember when saying someone was a journalist implied unquestioned objectivity and integrity?
The line between reporter and one who opines has disappeared.
There's so much I don't understand. Near the top of the list of inscrutable things is women's fashions. What's the sense in cutting the fabric out the shoulders of a dress or top and calling it stylish? And how did they get so many women to go along with it?
Who is fooled by a 70 year old woman with anything but gray hair?
It's OK to have gray hair!
This Oct. 31 is the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany. Start planning your party now. You have time to come up with clever ideas for group activities, maybe costumes, party favors, Reformation-themed games....

Pin the theses to the door, dunking for heretics (apples with shifty-looking faces cut into them), carving "Romans 1:17" into pumpkins
I like "Pin the Theses" but carving Rom. into pumpkins seems like a stretch. Best Luther and Pope costumes? List of your top three indulgence asks? "T/F - the following were among the 95 these"
Bratwurst, sauerkraut, German chocolate cake....
It never ceases to amaze me how many hubcaps the auto manufacturers (especially GM) made for a particular year! Did they have several styles for the '66 Mustang?
Three for '66 Mustangs (if I understand correctly). Dog dish for the cheapo option, standard (my car), and a fancy "mag style" cover for the 289 c.i. V8 cars. The dog dish are rare now b/c nobody wants to look like theirs is a budget Mustang, so they're hard to find.
I have seen the mag style with the spinner on them, but never seen a "standard" cap. Isn't it interesting how the value of something goes up decades later all because, at the time it was made, everybody hated it and threw them in the scrap heap!
Agreed. True with cars, too. Station wagons are now crazy hot, beginning to replace pickups as the fastest climbing in value. Could hardly give them away 10 years ago.
