Actually, I’m quite content with it raining all day. 1) The drought we have been under. 2) I don’t think they can race today. 3) The Cubs can use a break from losing once again. 4) Nae’r do wells are less inclined to rob, steal and carjack. 5) On the plus side, Mary’s many gardens need water, and cars could use a natural bath. And most of all, maybe, our air conditioner is on the verge of burning up, and the rain will keep the temps in the 70s (plus cooler by the lake).

Already, I need a 2nd cup of coffee, and I didn’t even drink the 1st cup before it went cold on me.

Dick Biondi died. I have an autographed picture of him that one of my daughters acquired at one of his appearances many years ago. Another icon of my teenage years. Had you asked me, I could not have said with assurance whether he was alive.
