When you’re a kid, you lay in the grass and watch the clouds going over, and you literally don’t have a thought in your mind. It’s purely meditation, and we lose that.

Dick Van Dyke

I went out for a look at the weather this morning dressed in the clothes that God gave me.

Before 7 AM the extra fiber in my diet needed to make an urgent exit. It seems as I get older those processes seem to all be urgent.

It looks like the three day extreme weather has slowed down for now.

Somehow my little house seems to has escaped the fury of the weather. Just a few miles south of here entire roofs were ripped off.

Thank God. Going up on the roof to repair the sheetmatal isn’t that fun of a job for an old man.
