Late Summer Kids

Late summer, early evening, kids hanging on the cattle fence, cheering on their favorite at a truck and tractor pull.

First Pumpkin of 2024

Noticed our first pumpkin of the year plumping up on the vine.  There are about three or four others that have also just now started to make themselves visible.  Hopefully, we have more before it is all over.

A new Crestview

Got a glimpse of the new Crestview last night, sitting pretty and waiting patiently for the first day of school, half wishing I were there for it.  So many mixed feelings.  Part of me wants to go back to teaching.  It gave work some sort of meaning.  The other half of me asks, "Are you out of your bleeping mind?"

The work was easy, but never ending and it only left room to do things outside of the school year.  I suppose that is not a whole lot different from only having space space to do things on vacation, but much of it was meaningless "professional development."

Caught in the Rain

Got a good soaking half way through the evening one-mile trek walking the dog turned.  It was not so bad though, warm enough rain and just warm enough temperature enabled a clean and fresh sort of feeling.  The dog did not seem to care, though she never does.

Google Password Risk

This new little Google feature rolled out over the weekend for Android. It is probably as secure as any other thing they produce, although it seems they are enabling more risk than they really should. 

This must be for those folks that like to share their credit card with their children too.  I am going to pass on this one.  Use your own password.
