I have also had those cold dizzy spells happen to me. The "swamp cooler" part is outstanding and will be shared far and wide with my friends in the veld. <br />Great stuff Mr. B.

He's crazy. <br /><br />I have another friend who competed in and completed her first triathlon over the weekend. Swim two miles, bike 112 and THEN run a marathon. She's crazy. <br /><br />You top them both.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06269415397411374828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-30411359850502416272010-06-28T09:32:50.510-04:002010-06-28T09:32:50.510-04:00HAHA!

After feeding, mucking and preparing for the riding lesson schedule for the day, I did something I NEVER do. At 2:00 I decided it was nuts to carry on, and I canceled lessons. Even my die-hard students were glad to hear the change of plans. And many miles from where you were, we got the same impressive thunder storm. BTW, last night about 8:00 we saw a young fox and a young raccoon on our farm. They were pretty close to one another, but paying no attention to each other. The critters are out and about here (to include the plethora of resident 'hogs), but we sure could use some rain to make everyone's life easier. <br /><br />SeahorseSeahorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00133454380103294333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-75413093967609223232010-06-28T05:37:28.410-04:002010-06-28T05:37:28.410-04:00Glad to learn I'm not the only person of my ag...Glad to learn I'm not the only person of my age group who was outdoors doing energetic things on a day that AC and daytime TV were invented for. And I have learned a whole new affection and respect for Slurpees, having also staggered - in sock feet and covered with dust and sweat (and horse spit) - into the first 7/11 on the roadside for a giant one of I-don't-care-what flavor.

It gets worse as I age. It seems like most people I know like it more as they get older, but not me. You'll never hear me complain about winter cold.Mailey E.

I have been spread eagle in a few fields over the years. A sad thing, but I own it. Autumn IS better!<br /><br />Doug nailed himself in the head while digging (easier to do than it sounds) and for the firts time in my life I hit myself with a machete blade. Oh yes, it was a grand day, LOL. <br /><br />P.PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-29381252467003405552010-06-27T19:51:18.954-04:002010-06-27T19:51:18.954-04:00Have you ever thought of making this an autumnal s...Have you ever thought of making this an autumnal sport? :-)Chas S.
