Emily

Well, we escaped Emily. I was watching the approaching storm because we're not far from the Mexican coast. However, all we got here was a little rain and some blustery winds. I didn't even bother to gas up the generator... Maybe next time, and I'm sure there will be others. Florida can't have all the "fun"!

Decisions...

Last year, before I remarried, I wanted to retire from the job I'm in and work as the Park Ranger at our Scout Camp. A nice job, doing what I love to do, provided with a house, all bills paid and a small salary to supplement my retirement. It would mean living on site 24 hours. Now my wife would have much further to commute, and my daughter doesn't want to change schools...
The job has come open again recently.
I can continue working at my present job until March of 2011 and retire flat out, but I won't be happy.... What to do, what to do.....

Tip to pass on:

When trying to remove the sticky stuff left from price stickers, use a small amount of peanut butter and a paper towel. The oil in the PB disolves the glue.

Annual 4th of July BBQ. I told people that Wille and I were going to have our 4th of July picnic. They'd say, "WILLIE NELSON?" and I said, "Yep, he'll have his and I'll have mine!"
