48 degrees with 92% humidity. Nice change in the weather.
Not many trains going by this morning, I guess the rivers are receding.
"The Missouri, she's a mighty river
Away you rolling river
The red man's camp lies on her borders
Away, we're bound away across the wide
Missouri
A white man...
I agree with you. I think it's just a human thing to look at the bad and complain and hope someone will come up with an answer. Sometimes it's better to let it out than hold it in. Those who complain all the time don't have many friends.
Saw the prettiest bluebird today at the feeder.
Last night a friend of ours won the stock car division main event. Exciting race, nothing like dirt track racing.
The train traffic through town has doubled since we now have west to east bound trains. The Missouri River is rising and is full of debris. They might close the bridge in Jefferson City due to a runaway barge. What a mess.
Growing up as an army brat I had to travel and make new friends a lot. The boys up until teenage didn't care if you were a girl. If you could hit a baseball
or had a sled you were okay. I just feed the guys at work some cookies if they act up. One even asked me to join the baseball fantasy team. :-D
I always wanted to be an engineer on a train, you never see women in the cab. Why is that?
I did notice on our last flight that we had an all male attendent crew and once we even had a female pilot.
Sorry to hear about your friend.
Rained over night so we had to turn on the AC for a while this morning.
Last night we saw a train with 145 empty coal cars go by and on the other track going the other way was a train with full coal cars and a helper in the middle. Cheap entertainment.:mrgreen:
Sparky the cardinal is at the feeder with his mate, I'll have to think of a name for her. My husband was mowing the back yard and found 3 turtles. The pampas grass is making a comeback. Everything is so GREEN.

Today is Harry Truman's birthday, a holiday for state workers. Born in Lamar Missouri he is noted as the President who dropped the bomb ending WWII.
If you ever get to the Air and Space museum in DC the Enola Gay is on display.
Does it work for squirrels? jawdrop
We have a lot of moles and yesterday one of the wild stray cats around here did an exterminating job on one. They ruin the lawn in record time.
