It has been super hot here the past couple of days. I haven’t been able to take the heat very well since I came back from the Persian Gulf. I don’t know what happened but I use to be able to stay out in the yard and work and it really didn’t bother me but now, I just can’t handle it. I start to feel sick and get dizzy after only a short while out there.
We have two rabbits left in the yard. One is sticking close to the nest the other is getting around out in the yard but Stella keeps wanting to bring it in the house but Emma keeps chasing her away from it. The rabbit will probably have a heart attack one day with the dogs coming at it.
My wife left work to take my son to his ball game yesterday but then had to leave to go back to work. She didn’t get finished working until after 1 this morning. I went to the game but I don’t know what the score was or who won since the score board was not running.
He really hasn’t gotten much play time. The past few games have been cancelled because of rain and storms and then he has classes on Monday’s which make him miss those games, and when he does make it he usually sits on the bench as a relief player.
There is a tourny this coming weekend out west but I really don’t see much of a point in going out there.
It gets frustrating for him to sit there and the drives to the game eat up gas and money. And as one of the coaches told me last night, if I don’t like it, don’t go, which basically says it all.

TIRED OF HIGH FOOD PRICES?
Well just wait, because the National Milk Producers Federation in Arlington, Virginia, will pay dairies to slaughter 103,000 U.S. cows in coming months, which will cause milk futures prices to double next year to a record $23 per 100 pounds as the herd shrinks by 171,000 head, the most since 1989.
The cuts will lead to the first two-year drop in output in four decades and higher prices in 2010 for butter, cheese, milk and the non-fat dry powder. Retail butter prices may rise above the record of $3.937 a pound and cheddar cheese may top $5.097 a pound.

JESUS IS ROLLING OVER IN HIS GRAVE
It took messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting June 23 only 30 seconds to sever a 125-year relationship with a prominent Texas congregation because of the church’s perceived toleration of gay members.
The SBC changed its constitution in 1993 to exclude churches that are welcoming and affirming of gays. Previously the amendment was interpreted to apply only to churches that take some formal action, like ordaining or licensing a gay minister or conducting a ceremony to bless a same-sex union, but in 2006 an SBC-affiliated state convention with a similar policy said a church could be expelled for simply being perceived as affirming homosexual behavior.
****Why is it those who are say they believe in peace and love are the loudest to shout for war and hate?****

The U.S. Army and The Stars & Stripes are having a go over about censorship. Stripes is accusing the Army of attempting to control and censor who they send on stories and what and how they report it while the Army is, as always, twisting its words trying to change what they said in the first place.

Ted, it has been hot here also. Today the whole town of Doniphan was without electricity for about two hours. Not real long but if you live in a mobile home believe me it felt like I was in an oven slow coooking.

Jason, your comment is in the spam queue for some reason and once I figure it out I will be happy to post it. I believe there are quote marks or something that the Akismet software thinks is spam.
It looks like it posted and then when it was scanned it was moved.
