A Good Decade

A Good Decade
It wasn't as chaotic as yesterday, which allowed me to get some much needed correspondence out which consumed a good portion of my morning, along with getting last month's accounts balanced and late-arriving bills paid. I'm beginning to grow all the more frustrated with a handful of people who've not returned my calls, and the bulk of them being … continue reading

Hopelessly Out Of Touch

Hopelessly Out Of Touch
Before heading to office, I reminded myself there were no scheduled appointments for today, so I figured it would be a slow one. Oh Mercy! Did I ever get that forecast wrong! My first duty was to drive down to Sheffield and get new photos taken of my listing at 319 S. Lincoln, along with installing another one of my noticeable 9' flag signs whic … continue reading

And All The Deeper

And All The Deeper
In spite of feeling the aches and pains this morning from yesterday's workout, I managed to get myself re-charged and then plug myself into another eight hour workout, but before even thinking about where to start and stop, my first and foremost duty, was to get my Sunday morning spiritual duties fulfilled, and for whatever reason, this morning's e … continue reading

A Long Walk Down

A Long Walk Down
In spite of having to endure a Saturday filled with gray skies and drizzly rain, I did manage to get quite a few things accomplished which had been poking at me for days, and luckily the landfill was still open which enabled me to getting some things cleared out of a storage building and hauled away. By the time I was finished with that little p … continue reading

Dirty Pockets Of Division

Dirty Pockets Of Division
Most of us were expecting rain during out daylight hours, but for whatever reason, the only rain we did get, came in the night, and from the looks of it, we really didn't get much at all. My morning started off with more time-sensitive chores than I was expecting, but at least I managed to get what was needed accomplished in a timely manner, so … continue reading

Concerning Newsweek Article

Concerning Newsweek Article
It was quite the pleasant day with our temps hovering in the upper 60s and lower 70's most of the day, and before it was time to close up shop, a cloud cover started moving into our area which is likely ushering in the rain we're supposed to be getting tomorrow. My Prairie Place On 1st closing was to take place earlier than normal, so I made sur … continue reading

Ranked The Last

Ranked The Last
After yesterday's rains followed by the lingering smell of smoke in the air from the forest fires in Canada, today's weather was actually more pleasant than expected. I'm certainly thankful for the soaking rain we received which will definitely be giving a much needed boost to our growers. There were several text messages I received late last ni … continue reading

Camouflaged Character Flaws

Camouflaged Character Flaws
The welcome rain arrived quite early this morning, and continued nearly all day until around the hour of four. I insist today's slow and steady rain is what the farmers used to call “The million dollar rains.”, and only because the slow and steadiness of it, allowed it to soak in, rather than being a runoff. I'm certainly glad I managed to get … continue reading

Revisiting 416 N. Adams

Revisiting 416 N. Adams
As the sun rose higher this morning, the temps climbed with it and by the time mid-afternoon rolled around, it was bouncing around the ninety degree mark in our downtown. Other than taking care of the drop-ins, a bit of accounting and a visit to my bank, my early hours were pretty much eaten up, but while I was in my auto-mode, a dear old friend … continue reading

My Chances With Hell

My Chances With Hell
With another Sunday morning having rolled around, the first order of the day, was getting my spiritual duties attended to, and once that was completed, I spent some time getting caught up on the news feeds. Oh my goodness! I about fell of my chair when reading what our not so illustrious Senator Joni Ernst also said at that town hall meeting she … continue reading
