Sanity? and More About The Weather

Rantoul, IL.
74 deg. clear, S. wind @ 7 mph.
Forecast today = high temp. 94 deg., humid, mixed sun and clouds, 40% chance of t-storms today and a 90% chance of t-storms tonight.

Yesterday, Jim got an e-mail from Dave, (one of the "Illinois Bunch"), who lives a little South of here. He was questioning Jim's sanity for even wanting to come back from Michigan by the end of July or the 1st part of Aug. In fact he's thinking of stowing away in the back of CLT when we head up there to escape this heat and humidity we've been having. ;-)

I just checked the 7 day forecast for the town that we'll be going to up in Michigan, and the highest temperature they're going to have is 74 deg. today, with highs in the upper 60's and low 70, for the rest of the 7 day period.

Hmmm!!! Maybe Dave's suggestion that we just stay up there isn't so bad!!! ;-)

Jim took a little ride on his bike early yesterday morning, but other than that, absolutely nothing interesting happened around here. We had another heavy shower go through here during the day and the clouds stayed around for awhile so it didn't get quite as hot as fore-casted, but with the rain, the humidity was sky high. :-(  So..... Jim and Linda just stayed inside of me and worked on the CG program, took naps and watched TV. For dinner, they just had BLT sandwiches because neither one of them was very hungry.

Oh, and because of all the rain we've been having, we're now getting a bumper crop of mosquitoes!!! If it ever does cool down enough to be outside, those little buggers will probably be driving everyone back inside!! :-(

OK!! OK!!! I know you're tired of hearing about the weather!!! I'll try to do better tomorrow and write about something else. It's really hard though, it really has a huge effect on what everyone is doing.

Did you know that Female mosquitoes will obtain blood from humans and animals, but only to nourish their eggs? Their food actually consists of nectar and other plant juices.

Hey Dave!! Maybe if Jim moves things around a little, you could get into the back of CLT!!! ;-)
