Slow News is Good News

A bit louder around home this week- Having a teen summer-fest, hot-rod encore out there. BbrroOOOmmMM! Little buggy, big muffler noise! Those 17 year olds really know how to have fun while Ma n Pop are out in the boat...
The TV news has been slow, which is good news. Still waiting on the space shuttle's return. No new shark tales to report, and air temp has actually been good, until the heat came back again today. It's been dry past couple weeks, all the rain's been North and West, 'til getting whopped with wild lighting n thunder at 2 am, and power went out.
Hafta water flowers every day before they start wilting. Finally got some blue Bachelor Buttons and pink poppies to add to the white Babies Breath and purple Butterfly. Waiting on the Lady Lavender, and the rest of the perrenials won't flower 'til next year.

Cape League Baseball has one week left to the regular season and I think I might finally go see a game. The local team is doing well, should make it to the division playoffs. I used to be addicted and go to every single game. I broke the habit last season, when I stayed home to watch the Sox reverse the curse, ( n I knew they would...) I'm still paranoid of Sceeter bites and allergies to other bugs... Also allergic to deet sprays. Never mind everyone wearing "Skin So Soft," wonder if I can hack the fumes. Been having a viscious hive week. All over, head, between fingers, and face too. (I look yuc)
...Still trying to decide if it's worth swimming at low tide this week. It would help heal me up. Figures it's always a mid-daytime low-tide when it's hottest lately...

*today's frootloop: Turned off the wall switch for puter during the early am storm. No one's called in awhile...Hhhmmm... Duh, wall switch also shuts off electric portable-battery phone base, answer machine, along with the modem line loop. Been off all day, just turned back on now. Well, if something was really impt, they woulda called the cell line...
