We broke down and turned the a/c on yesterday for the 1st time this year. Forecast is 90's for 5 of the next 6 days. 'Broke down' sounds like there was a debate or a struggle, neither of which was true - it was more of a shared glance at the thermostat...

Our condolences for your loss Sweeney.

Sounds like you're getting what we had yesterday. It'll stop, one day...

Glad things have gone well for you. As you said, regular testing is key to catching so much of these cancers. And overcoming the stigma of doing regular prostate checks would save thousands of lives a year. Thankfully I have no hesitation talking about it :)

It took a bit longer than anticipated but it was worth the wait. I couldn't have received much better news - Pathology report was all negative. I will say to all the men, check your PSA and get that DRE done regularly. It's easy and a small inconvenience to endure that may spare you potentially...

Looks good. You're much braver than me.

Yes and Yes ;)

Slept all night! I like that! Life's little pleasures :)

Thanks Sweeney, I think I'm in the process of doing just that. Thursday can't get here soon enough.

Pretty amazing. They were visible in Chicago for the 1st time I'm my memory. Of course it happened a the day I couldn't go out to experience them. Saw some great pictures though. What a treat!

Home 2 hours from the overnight trip to the hospital, I should know in about a week how things went. Initial word is good. Now to recover and start planning some trips!

Haha! We felt the same! Our 'new' shock corded dome tent was one of a few left standing after some very high winds at Silver Lake SP in Michigan.

Ah, the Coleman lantern. The glow of... oh wait, that's A Christmas Story. We still use that lantern when without electricity. That was that tent's last year of use :( The main reason was that somewhere between '67 and '84 my dad had let somebody use it, and they had squared off some of...

Same here. Same line of storms.

1st visit to Wall Drug for me was 1967 on a tent camping trip from Chicago to California and back in the '64 Impala wagon with mom dad & 2 brothers. Next visit was 1984 with Peggy and our 2 oldest kids, with the SAME Sears canvas tent... A must-see, and a total tourist trap ;)

My guess is Indiana likes the revenue bump from Chicago et al and may not want to push it. They do charge more for out of state entry and annual passes, which they could tweak.

I've got to get mine done before Friday, when I go in for surgery. Then nothing heavy for about a month or so. I swear I'm not copying you, maybe there's something in the water...

We just got 'home' today after a week of dog-sitting for our son and daughter in law out in Big Rock, IL, all of 54 miles away. I cut their large lawn mid week and it needed again by this morning as we were waving goodbye . They have an electric mower that can be self-propelled, but I didn't...

Wisconsin is a beautiful place - "Illinois' Biggest State Park"

Petit mal? Perhaps caused by a nearby strobe? Looks like 'if some is good, more is better' school of thought.
