 NB>> exceedingly hot days...  But now it's cool again... rainy, but not

One can hope.  :)  Here we also went into the low-mid 90s, then into the
mid-high 70s with still mostly humid, now back into the mid 80's and
rainy... Although, the forecasts have been for more rain than we
generally are getting.  Today was mostly sunny, in spite of the
forecast.  Yesterday, though, when it did get rainy, REALLY was rainy. 
Set another record, had over 2 inches all at once... I got to drive in
part of the nastiness...

 ML>> What is it like to be psychotic? Only he who is psychotic knows.
 NB>> Indeed.   Within reason... 
 ML> Without reason, too.

Hm.. somewhat expected that answer... a different sort of knowing,
though. 
 
 ML>> What is it like to be running? Only he who is running knows.
 NB>> (ru-u-u-u-un-ning nose)  [g]
 ML> Ha, figured someone would catch that.

Considering the many times PDQ was played in my house (including while I
was still at my parents') how could I not... (G)
 
 NB>>> nor likely to cause trouble between 1 and 4...
 ML>> Well, back in my day ... ;)
 NB>> Ok, I take it back...  (G)
 ML> One of my greatest moments of glory ever was running full tilt
 ML> through the closed Fraport wheeling Lilli in a luggage trolley
 ML> past customs officials and cops with machine guns, both of us

Ah, yes, I do remember having heard that tale...  :)   Was that between
the hours of 1 and 4, then..?  :)

 ML> Turns out that I ought to go back to the house anyway -
 ML> e-mails from the kid, and he has major testing on the 3rd,
 ML> so I might have to talk him down.

How did the testing go...?  Anything useful found out...?

 ML> There was that thought, but I have to be back at the airport
 ML> on the 4th in any case, kid or no kid.

And, as it's the 4th now, I've slipped a bit behind again... 

 ML> Lucky you. No dry-out here. Bob and Deb came back, and it was
 ML> suggested we have drinks out on the porch, but as soon as I
 ML> got out there the mosquitoes swarmed me. I have witnesses.
 ML> We went right back inside.

Sigh.

 NB>> On the basis of the forecast, Richard did the church mowing on
 NB>> Thursday so it would look halfway decent for Sunday.  Looks like
 NB>> it could have been done today, after all.  :)
 ML> And if one had waited until Saturday, guess what would have
 ML> happened. You can't fool Murphy.

Indeed.   This week threatens to follow suit... and he didn't go up to
mow today...  we shall see how the rest of the week plays out...  :)
