I was on my computer last night, visiting here and also playing my Solitaire games. I was in the middle of Solitaire when a thunderstorm came along. It didnāt bother me because the thunder all seemed distant, until suddenly, there was a big flash of lightning and a huge BOOM! I knew it hit someplace close. I wondered if it hit a tree in my back yard. I decided it might be a good idea to get off the computer if lightning was hitting so close. But I wanted o finish my Solitaire game first (and then another game, and another game, etc). Anyway, I finally shut down the computer and went to bed 10-15 minutes later. I had barely turned off the lamp by my bed when I heard fire trucks go by my house. The sirens stopped someplace real close to my house, so of course I had to get up and look out the window. I couldnāt see for sure where the fire was because my view was blocked by the neighborās big tree, but I could see it was just half a block away where the fire trucks stopped. I determined it was either the church or one of the houses near there. I found out in the morning that the lightning that hit so close by me had hit the church steeple. The fire was reported at around 2:45 am. Damage was limited to the steeple and bell tower. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. Iām sorry for the members of that church, but Iām glad it wasnāt someoneās house that caught fire.
I am recovering this morning from a sudden onset of sickness that lasted about 24 hours. Felt tired but fine when we returned home from 3 days in Laguna, then suddenly I was nauseated then violently ill all night and the next day. Now I m just exhausted. I missed my volunteer day at our historic fish hatchery, and a perfect 85 degree summer day which is unheard of here. Too sick to even check on 10 kitties!
The catās arguments reminds me of our car trips to Minnesota, mid 1950s. Three kids in the back seat, and it was āhe touched me!ā Did not, did soā¦.Then Mom reaching over from the front seat to swat the nearest kid. Those were the days.
I remember reading a Shoe comic in one of my Shoe books where the letters to editor section of the newspaper solely consisted of letter proclaiming āIs Not!ā or āIs Too!ā
Canāt say I blame Annie. On another note, saw some bees while out walking today. Thankfully, I did not get stung. I figure, if you leave bees alone, they wonāt bother you. (I could be wrong about that, though.) I had a neighbor who raised bees. I used to buy honey from him.

My cats sometimes have disagreements too ā and they do āhitā each other.

Today is:
National Middle Child Day. I was not the first born nor the last born, but instead I was #9 out of 10. I guess that doesnāt qualify as āmiddleā.
National Vinyl Record Day. I still have a record collection from the 1970ās. I probably havenāt played any of them since the 1990ās or so.
National Julienne Fries Day.
World Elephant Day
