1. Smashing Pumpkins, Vose corn dog, see the butter cow and get a shake. It’s going to be a good night! (and yes, I used banned punctuation as it was deserved)

2. Rained much of the night and sure enough Trixie needed to go out to take care of her business at 4am. I guess coming back in wet and soggy is better than cleaning up the problem ignoring her. Do we need rain?

3. I was awakened in the middle of the night by thunder and lightning, but now it’s bright and sunny.

6. Not sure how long it’s been going on but I feels like our large state universities are way more organized than they used to be when it comes to move-in. So much better to schedule appointments and make it a whole week than make it the one-day free-for-all that I remember

7. Back to work in public ed. Move in has started at the local University. Corn is green. Flyrods prepped for cooler weather fishing. Dang, summer flew by fast.

8. Mayor Johnson wants to fire Martinez but keeps Carter. Am I in opposite land?

9. IPI is all over the right-wing “influencers”on the net.

   Seems somebody there has been working hard. They really don’t want JB to look good nationally this week.
