Water , water every where.......

The weather has been the topic; rain, floods, tornados, and draught. In the corn belt, so much rain that it does not look as if there will be a corn crop this year. In the south, draught, not enough wate for crops. In the East just plain old heat; heat with higher than normal temps. And in other parts of the world earthquakes. I once saw a cartoon where another planet was talking to Earth, we were referred to as the fleas of this world. It does seem as if the Earth is trying to rid itself of its inhabitance.
We got the car ready. It cost us, but it had to be done. It has a lot of miles on it and wear and tear is normal. We had the oil changed, we had to realign the tires, and get new tires.
We needed to change the transmision fluid, and filter, so it was costly. When we get back, we have to look at the brakes.

I may have found a better lawn man. At least, someone who will do the work cheaper. I still like the idea of having James plow out the driveway in the winter. But, if i can get someone to do the work for less, and perhaps do a better job...... We'll see. James did not take it well that we replaced him on the empty lot. We got an interesting call this afternoon. A Real Estate agent called about the empty lot. We told him wht we knew. he has promised to get back with us.
