[The Dirt]

There's this weird *pattering* noise outside, and the tree-leaves are shaking, and it smells funny, there's gurgling noises along the edge of my roof, something's hitting me on my head when I stick it out the door, and my lawn and fields are making this huge *sucking*noise...

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON???

[rogruth]

Rain?That has become sort of rare in this area .Weather forecast says thunder storms today.
Don't like that thunder storm part but we need the rain much.

[Tramp]

Send it east. Offer it anything. I'm getting sick of the sound of fans.

Started raining here about 11 pm and as of 7 am still going pretty steady -- really needed a good soaking rain. Good weather to be in the home office and shop

[sarge]

Rain?

I've read something about that...

The locusts will be pissed.

It's a bit to your east - other side of New Oxford - and moving out now.......

[rogruth]

We have 40 - 50% chance this afternoon and evening.

WOW! A new low [?],we're talking about the weather.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Roger,

I think you, me, and the Sarge are the only folks even approaching consciousness......and I'm going to correct that condition shortly by returning to my reading about the recent advance on chemistry of bismuth,

[rogruth]

The chemistry of bismuth.OK.Let me know who wins.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Ok, I'll do that right after...........

[sarge]

The Earl of Dungfield Hall in single combat.

Ok, I'll do that right after...........

Hey, Rufus. Have you awoken from your nap? Did it help improve your view of life?
I'll have you know that, whilst SOME people are able to doze the day away, ANG Bob has been here all day removing your garden cart from the garage as well as several tubs of old railroad paper. Got a lot done cleaning up the railroad, too.

It was a Grand Day Out!

[rogruth]

Sarge,

Oh my!You did something useful?

[sarge]

That I must admit.

My apologies to all for whom my reputed sloth was an inspiration.

[rogruth]

I helped my wife re-arrange the living room furniture.My good deed.[Been married 56 years.]Now I am going to work on my layout.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Ok, I'll do that right after...........

Oh, I had a constructive day and got a lot done and simply did not come back here until today.

Dug up la arge clump of hosta that harbored some bamboo this morning -- an 8' long root and 2 that were ~4' long that the landscaping crew conveniently overlooked removing. I swear the stuff is 1/2 snake and 1/2 plant.... Then I took out a cedar tree stump just for good measure and also because it was cooperating with the bamboo.....

Bob has a bit more free time than I do and why do I suspect that you've taken advantage of the laddie once again,

Now, back to revising manuscripts, reading bismuth chemistry, and a nap during this thing they call the world cup,
