WEATHER; HOT, HIGH HUMIDITY, 77/94 DEGREES

 

WENT TO BONHAM VA TODAY FOR MY CHECK UP IN DERMOTOLOGY THEY CHECK EVERYTHING THAT MIGHT BE CANCEROUS AND GAVE ME A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH! I DON’T HAVE TO GO BACK FOR A YEAR!

 

THE OLD ACCLAIM PERFORMED JUST LIKE IT SHOULD BUT, I DID HAVE TO PUT POWER STEERING FLUID IN! IT LOOKS LIKE THE FREON MIKE PUT IN IS GOING TO STAY, IT COOLED ON LOW BLOWER TO BONHAM AND BACK, OF COURSE WE COULD GO OUT IN THE MORNING AND NOT HAVE ANY COOLING! OTHER THAN THAT NO PROBLEMS AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S GOING TO STAY IN THE 23-24 MPG BRACKET! WE’LL KNOW WHEN WE FILL UP AGAIN!

 

MOM AND I STOPPED ON THE WAY HOME AND HAD LUNCH AT THE OLD “HARVEYS” FOR YOU LOCAL TYPES, IT’S CALLED “NICKS” NOW AND WE GO THERE QUITE OFTEN!

 

MOM WENT IN AND TOOK SHANNON GROCERY SHOPPING THIS MORNING AND GOT HOME JUST IN TIME FOR US TO LEAVE FOR MY APPOINTMENT IN BONHAM! I SURE HOPE SHANNON GETS’ HER CAR BACK THIS COMING WEEK! I KNOW IT’S HARD ON HER TO BE WITHOUT IT HAVING TO CALL DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO TAKE HER AROUND TO WHERE SHE HAS TO GO!

 

TIM GOT BACK FROM HIS TRIP TO ARLINGTON, VA. I HAVEN’T TALKED TO HIM BUT MOM HAS AND HE REALLY ENJOYED DOING THE UPDATING OF THE COMPUTERS FOR THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, THE COMPANY HE WORKS FOR!

 

I‘M ASKING KERRY FOR SOME INFORMATION ABOUT BOAT HANDLING THINGS I NEED TO USE IN MY NEW BOOK ABOUT A 52 FT STEEL HULL CHRIS CRAFT ROAMER YACHT OUT OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS THAT HAS 16 PEOPLE ON BOARD AND LOST ONE ENGINE AND A BENT PROPELLER SHAFT ON THE OTHER ONE PLUS A TYPHOON IS HEADING FOR THEM AND THE CAPTAIN IS DOWN WITH FOOD POISONING! IT’S A LOT OF FUN WORKING AROUND THE DIFFERENT PROBLEMS THEY’VE ENCOUNTERED! AND THE WAY THE PASSENGERS AND CREW ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO OVERCOME THEM! I’LL LET YOU KNOW THE NAME SO YOU CAN BUY A COPY WHEN IT’S PUBLISHED!

 

HERE’S A LIST OF THING I’LL BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW!

 

ODD ANIMAL LAWS

- FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, INDIANA, ONCE PASSED A LAW REQUIRING ALL BLACK CATS TO WEAR BELLS ON FRIDAY THE 13TH.

- MADISON, WISCONSIN, WILL NOT ALLOW JOINT CUSTODY OF A FAMILY PET WHEN A COUPLE DIVORCES - THE ANIMAL IS LEGALLY AWARDED TO WHOEVER HAPPENS TO HAVE POSSESSION OF IT AT THE TIME OF THE INITIAL SEPARATION.

- DOGS IN FOXPOINT, WISCONSIN, MAY NOT BARK PROFUSELY, SNARL, OR MAKE ANY MENACING GESTURES.

- IN TEXAS, IT'S ILLEGAL TO PUT GRAFFITI ON SOMEONE ELSE'S COW.

- IT IS ILLEGAL TO RIDE A MULE DOWN LANG, KANSAS' MAIN STREET IN AUGUST, UNLESS THE ANIMAL IS WEARING A STRAW HAT.

- OVER IN BEREA, KENTUCKY AND ALSO IN WILLAMANTIC, CONNECTICUT, HORSES ARE NOT ALLOWED OUT ON THE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AT NIGHT UNLESS THE ANIMAL HAS A "BRIGHT" RED TAILLIGHT SECURELY ATTACHED TO ITS RUMP.

- HORSES MAY NOT WEAR COWBELLS INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS OF TAHOE CITY, CALIFORNIA.

- IN WASHINGTON, THOUGH, EVERY COW WANDERING THE STREETS OF SEATTLE MUST BE WEARING A COWBELL.

- IN BURNS, OREGON, HORSES ARE ALLOWED IN THE TOWN'S TAVERNS, IF AN ADMISSION FEE IS PAID BEFORE THEY ENTER.

- YOU CAN'T BLOW YOUR NOSE IN PUBLIC PLACES IN LEAHY, WASHINGTON, BECAUSE IT MIGHT SCARE A HORSE AND CAUSE IT TO PANIC.

- IN WANASSA, NEW JERSEY, A DOG IS BREAKING THE LAW IF IT IS HEARD TO BE "CRYING."

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
