Thanks for all the well wishes on the 2nd back surgery.  If this one works out, I'll be able to drop 3 meds.  Kathy has no problem with taking a week off while I am my own pain, but quickly included "no curb service either - hung up the roller scates many moons ago!"

Jack - That's a fair assumption about gov't work.  No one has ever stolen any work off my desk or taken over something I was working on, yet.  I guess my co-workers are simply too busy to assume any more workload.

Still not a drop of rain down here in our part of the TX hill country.  Local news report said we broke an all-time record for continuous days of 100 degrees or above. In 1925 the record was 69 - we hit 70 & counting.

I haven't scanned our student directory yet, but wondered how our classmates in DC, VA, NY & elsewhere made out after "Bush's Fault" rumbled thru - good one, James Y .  Those who come to mind are Mike Jacks & Ron Barker, who both work in DC (Ron lives in VA & commutes in), and Sally Taylor in NYC.  I'm sure there are others.

Ron's on my vets' list, so I'll give him a holler.

You lucky dogs!!  The clouds covered the sun, the temp dropped from 101 to 90 within a few minutes & we heard thunder, but that was it!  No rain, not even a drop!!    Glad some of you got a little relief.

We got about 1 1/2 of rain - it was wonderful - walked from Walmart to the car and did not even care that I was getting wet!!   Of course if I end up with a cold before Monday my Dr. will absolutely shoot me!  I had a jacket in the car so I got warm very quickly.  It was great.

It's been thundering for the last hour without a drop, and finally the clouds broke through.  So thankful.  We just need a lot more.

Send some rain, would You send some rain?
'Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again
And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade
Would You send a cloud, thunder long and loud?
Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down
Surely You can see that we are thirsty and afraid
But maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case . . .

(Chorus)

We'll give thanks to You
With gratitude
For lessons learned in how to thirst for You
How to bless the very sun that warms our face
If You never send us rain

Daily bread, give us daily bread
Bless our bodies, keep our children fed
Fill our cups, then fill them up again tonight
Wrap us up and warm us through
Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs
Let us slumber safe from danger's view this time
Or maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case . . .

(Chorus)

We'll give thanks to You
With gratitude
A lesson learned to hunger after You
That a starry sky offers a better view if no roof is overhead And if we never taste that bread

Oh, the differences that often are between
What we want and what we really need

So grant us peace, Jesus, grant us peace
Move our hearts to hear a single beat
Between alibis and enemies tonight
Or maybe not, not today
Peace might be another world away
And if that's the case . . .

(Chorus)

We'll give thanks to You
With gratitude
For lessons learned in how to trust in You
That we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream
In abundance or in need
And if You never grant us peace

But Jesus, would You please . .

I too hope this 2nd surgery gives you relief for your ailing back!  I know you've been in misery for months & months.  I'm praying that Labor Day weekend brings a change in the weather here and a change for the better in your back!!  Don't return to work too soon . . .  wait until they start to appreciate what you did, then return slowly.

August 24, 2011. Write it down. Toni is apparently speechless. Had to ditto a comment.
Don, kick back and take a FEW days off. If you are a pain in your own a**, then you can't work standing up or sitting down. Remember, it is a government job, nothing that won't a few days.

Regarding the earthquake; Bob Van Dillen on HLN said his ol' granddad at the retirement home just looked over at his friend and in a crusty old guy's NY voice said "jeez...was that you or me?"

funny guy, Van Dillen
