Forgetting dialog

I had every thing plotted out in my head last night of what to write about, twice!  Woke up this morning, poof, gone, right down to the last detail.  If you continually think about something before going to sleep, wouldn't you expect it to still be there when you open your eyes?  My mistake, now you will just have to suffer with all of my ramblings once again.

They got done digging in the yard yesterday.  They had to put in some kind of traps for the sewer system.  Stupid people keep flushing things down the toilet that should go in the garbage.  Now our yard looks like a mess and they are still going to be stupid.  I can fix the yard, but as Jeff Foxworthy says, "You can't fix Stupid!".

Not too bad temperature wise right now.  If it could stay this way all day it would be almost perfect.  The hot weather isn't so bad, it is the darn humidity that gets to a person.  My biggest pet peeve during the summer and winter is the people who go around saying how much they enjoy the heat/cold.  If they enjoy it so much why do they have AC in the summer?  I can understand the furnace in the winter, especially in Minnesota, but let's get real.  If you enjoy the hot days of summer so much, I dare you to get rid of every single AC unit you have, you know, house, car, cabin, tractors, etc.  You should be relishing in the hot, sticky, stinky humidity.  Be outside, do things that make you sweat even more.  No one will want to be around you, but hey, you're enjoying the heat.  That also means no bars or restaurants with AC.  I have had frost bite and heat stroke.  Believe me when I say that I no longer enjoy winter and summer.  Your whole body changes after that, your tolerance goes down and nothing is fun or pleasant anymore. 

As a kid we neither remember or complain about the outside temps.  Mainly because we had no choice in the matter.  We were not allowed to sit around inside and do nothing.  If you were inside you had inside chores to do, if you were outside, you had outside chores to do. Didn't hurt us any.  The only game systems we had were called board games.  No DVD's, no MP3, no iPod, barely any stereo, oh yeah if you were lucky to have one it only worked with LP's.  TV was a joke.  There were the following channels: 4,5,9,11,12 and don't forget the important one Channel 2 TPT.  We watched what our parents watched, not much choice, what with the one TV in the house.  Heaven forbid we had to get up and manually change the stations.  We were what our parents would have called their remote controls.

Wasn't all bad.  We spent an awful lot of time with friends doing nothing.  Going swimming in a lake that had pasture all around it (do you know what cows do in the water?), fishing, biking (pedal kind), playing tennis, hanging out at the pool hall (yep, she had AC, why do you think we hung out there?).  Child hood is a glorious time in our lives and if we are lucky enough to have lots of good memories we are truly blessed.

Have a great day!
