I could never get any sound to come out on a flute, let alone a piccolo.
I do play the second largest instrument in the Band- the baritone- so maybe that is why I keep hitting people.
Do you play Euphonium in concert season, then?
See, that's why I could never be in a marching band. I wanted to play pipe organ.
I love 68 and sunny. 90? Not so much, later on in the week we'll get a little cooler. Stick around, we'll cheer you up.
Supposed to be near 100 here tomorrow. One truism about NC: don't like the weather...wait 10 minutes.
NC was where I learned to hate hot weather. I was miserable down there. It's even worse there in the summer than here and we get some high humidity here.
Two words Foxfyre: Junk mail.
Anyone in favor of a don't mail list?
The fact that all that junque mail is delivered only affirms the point.
A do-not-mail list would presumably have the same effect as the do-not-call list: increasing the harassment exponentially.
Air catditioner?
There were two different times when a boyfriend had to build either a perch or a walkway for my cats. One time I had moved to a converted garage on someone's property. It was a nice conversion, and the house and garage were surrounded by a big fenced yard and garden. But, the people in the main house had a big dog. My cat got to roam free, but I felt she would want to be able to get out of reach of the dog if necessary. So my friend build a perch for the cat to climb up on just outside my back door. It was a ladder leading to a platform, built on the deck outside my kitchen window.
Another time, years later and a different cat and boyfriend, I had moved to the upstairs flat in a house, and the stairway was an indoor stair way. To make it easy for the cat to go in and out, my then boyfriend build a walkway from the upstairs window down to the roof of the carport and then a step ladder down to the lawn, also a fenced yard. Both of these worked quite well for the cats.
That's what this photo reminded me of--adapting your house to suit the cat's needs.
Our first house was a split level with a garage jutting out in front of it. Our cat was really mean. He would go get the attention of the neighbors dog until it started chasing him, then he would jump up on the roof of our garage and tease the dog until the dog got tired and went home. Then the whole thing would start all over again.
I don't really believe in inside cats. My cats have always been inside/outside cats. My last cat was with us for 20 years. I still miss her. I want a kitty!

A good Saturday morning to all!
Today's National Day of the Cowboy...
Should I wear my sequined cowboy hat today? Which color? I have rose, red, and teal. I have some other colors but my friend borrowed them.

You probably would have to pry them out of his and Munchkin's hands....they are adorable and he's not giving them away....I don't think....

Unfortunately this is an all too familiar scene. Many of us know someone who's family has been tragically affected by drug addiction. We need to try harder to convince kids to stay off the stuff.I just found out that the 2nd friend of my son's who passed away was from a heroin overdose. what are these kids thinking? are they even thinking
Not if they're on heroin they're not. My condolences to you and your son, and the poor kid's family.

I recall back when Reagan was President we had a "Just Say No" to drugs campaign, which was headed by then First Lady Nancy Reagan. Kids often look up to important figures. The best way to get kids attention on this issue is by having role models and celebrities visit schools, and have them stress the dangers of drug addiction. Parents also need to take a proactive role, and monitor their kids behavior.

I don't know about you, but I'm on the "do-not-call" list for both our landline and my cell phone and I never get any of those pesky calls we used to get a lot. The only ones that call are the Sheriff Dept wanting money, and now the Fire Department. Guess they think they don't have to obey the rules.....
Supposed to be near 100 here tomorrow. One truism about NC: don't like the weather...wait 10 minutes.
NC was where I learned to hate hot weather. I was miserable down there. It's even worse there in the summer than here and we get some high humidity here.
My father was from Gastonia NC. I was there once, when I was 9. I sure loved those lightening bugs. I learned to shoot then too. Shook up my cousin. They set up a crate with straw in it and he took the first shot, then told me to aim where he shot it. I did. He said I missed, I said I didn't. He went to the crate and found two bullets right there and only one hole. It was like Robin Hood. I was so proud of myself.

Sorry but that's disgusting.
