May 8, 2024

            Howdy to one and all, I did not say good morning because I know most of you do not get up early and when you read this it is afternoon. Yes, I know you are the only one who reads this early in the morning, so good morning to you.

            Let us see what occurred yesterday. I had planned to mow the front yard after my reading of the bible, which would have been about 10:00am, but that schedule went south. After my reading I did call our Medicare provider about a bill that my favorite wife has received. We have no idea what it was for so got on the phone and inquired about the bill that was received via text message. We do not pay bills that come via text or email, we still require paper invoices.

            I know that most of you “real people” do the automatic payments, but we don’t. the first person I spoke with ask some questions and then transferred us to another person where we learned whet the bill was for. Then we learned that the bill was not sent to our provider, instead it was sent to us, they corrected that as we talked. I then told them we do not accept bills via text or email, we want paper, and that has now changed we will get all paper bills in the future.

            So, the above phone calls to the Medicare provider took about 30 minutes. I started outside to get the mower when I received a call from a nephew in Missouri. We talked for a while about many things and that took another 30 minutes or so. I was now at my normal lunch time, so I did not get the mower, instead, I decided to get a quick lunch of leftovers an then start the mowing process.

            Lunch was complete and I took about a 15-minute break to allow the food to settle in my ole belly. Then I headed out to get the mower and I brought it to the front yard, where I saw that I needed to pick up debris. That completed I started the mowing process. Now the temp was in the 80s and I think the humidity may have been about 200%, I was sweating before I started mowing. I did get the front yard mowed; it does look good. After putting the mower away, I returned to the house where I took off the shirt which was soaked with sweat. I have now started complaining about the summer heat!

            The temp was 90 degrees when my favorite wife and I went outside in the afternoon to sit and watch the neighborhood. I even got the small fan out and turned it on as the breeze was not consistent.

            The back 40 is no longer standing in water, now it is not dry, only the standing water is now gone. We have a slight risk of storms this afternoon, and tomorrow we have a higher risk of storms. I have photos of blooming flowers.




 
            Different topic: I can only assume some of you watched the so-called news yesterday and you heard about the trial that is going on for a past president. They had a female porn star as a witness yesterday and I think again today. I had a thought which has nothing to do with the trial, but it has to do with prostitutes. As I understand it a prostitute gets paid for sex. He or she and the person who is paying for sex, can be arrested, for having sex for money. Porn stars get paid to have sex in front of cameras, so why are they not arrested. So, is there a difference?

            Well now that I have you thinking I will get out of your way and do nothing again today. we hope you have a good day and please stay safe in all you do.

Flowers be pretty.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
