fog

This morning, I was walking Mrs. Wigglebottom and over on the interstate side of our street was a clump of large orange-yellow flowers, blowing in the breeze like damp tissue paper.

One of the neighborhood miscreants threw a jack o’ lantern over there shortly after Halloween, and it spent all winter there slowly rotting.

Looks like we've awoken this morning to bright sunshine! Some areas have a little fog this morning....*Cookeville Webcam*

Because Aunt B. always breaks it down:

The military serves a couple of important functions in our culture, aside from the ones it’s officially charged with.  One is giving poor folks a way of seeing the country and the world and encountering a lot of different people and cultures and the other is revealing stupid bull[bleep] between groups in our own society for what they are.

When the Lie’s So Big
With a big ol’ lie
And a flag and a pie
And a mom and a bible
Most folks are just liable
To buy any line
Any place, any time

Because if it weren't for the tick I found embedded in the my daughter's shoulder during her bath last week, I never would have grabbed the bottle of rubbing alcohol, uncapped it and put it on the side of the tub, so that I could swab the bite in the rubbing alcohol after pulling the tick from her skin.

I also blame sleep deprivation.

By the time I got home, after my last post on Thursday, I was sickety, sick, sick!! I am SO glad that I had that Dr.'s appointment made!

...is on tap for us. Once the fog lifts and skies clear, we should have bright sunny skies and a high near 70° this afternoon. Have a great morning!

Rainfall has ceased across the midstate and we'll slowly begin the process of drying out. We've got patchy fog here on the Cumberland Plateau. Cookeville webcam showing fog and mist. Clouds will be stubborn and will hang around most of the day. Temperatures will struggle to get in the middle 50's.

I’m struggling to get going this morning at work. In the last few weeks, Bunker has decided that he wants to wake up sometime between 2:30 & 4:00AM and come do the bedroom door and scratch on it and do some whining.
