    I'm too old for all that crap. I've half a hair-brained scheme to try and get up at 5 and run every morning. No traffic, no people, grandkids aren't awake and tearing anything up yet (school's out in 2 days), not too hot yet. Everything is right about it except the getting my ass up at 5AM part
    Lots of mornings I'm up by 5:00, but 6:00 is my usual, anything later is kinda rare, unless I been on a bender. But getting up and going running, ain't gonna happen...

    I do have to get in the shower though, I should head out and see about getting a little more of my raking done. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel around my lilac bush, and that's the last change I'm going to make in my lawn. If I could finish that up I could sprinkle some grass seed for the Wednesday rain coming.

    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Temps in 3 digits all week here ... 108 this coming weekend.

    I'm on my way outside to lay in hammock and nap while listening to doves coo.

    Might swim later.

    Saw one of these on my bird bath yesterday. Tried to get the phone to take a pic of him quick but he flew away too fast....

    https://www.arkive.org/saint-lucia-o...ge-G82192.html

    Weird thing is, they're not native to this part of the world. My sister thinks it was a pet that either escaped or someone let go. Sure was brilliant. I knew I'd never seen one before.

    I clean and fill my bird bath every morning because when it's hot and dry like this, the birds sure get a lot of use out of it. Poor little critters need a cool down and a drink. The Sparrows all seem to like to hit it at the same time. I've had a dozen or more all on there at the same time, like a bunch of kids at the pool... splashing and playing... great fun for the campfire cat to sit and watch them...

    Just had hawk at watering tub. When it saw me flew to one of the dead saghuaro cactus and just sat there for about 15 min. It was being harassed by two very upset birds. Wish I knew how to download from phone. Got video of it being harassed and his squawed warning. Finally had enough and flew away.

    Just another day in Sassy's back yard.

    Tomorrow is it my friend, we'll be one hour apart! I'm very excited!

    It took about 2 hours from pick up to taking off to Sedona to get everything in. I must say, I'm like a savant now with moving. Ian came and helped with the big pieces and got the tarp down, tight.

    Take a pic of the bumper to bumper traffic you'll be stuck in, in downtown Phoenix...

    Take the east 101 loop... I'm tellin' ya, further around but ultimately quicker.

    Regular every day chit chat and what are we up to, huh?

    Absolfuckinglutely nothing!

    Spending a lot of time with an Alaskan Husky with apparently wolf in her, which if so, is starting to show more and more. She's definitely testing the boundaries, but she's also learning more and more as she tests the limits. She is beautiful and gets better looking all the time, to me anyway! She eats big 'ol bones like they're nothing. Destroys most toys. I've went through a LOT to finally find certain things that last. She's a smart little cookie! And it looks like about 100 mini meteors have landed in my backyard! She loves to dig holes, I think prepping to find ways to lay in them and cool off. Or she's just ruining my yard for the hell of it!

    And she's rough, too rough, and isn't easy to have outside with the Chihuahua at the same time. She doesn't understand and knocks him around too easy, and won't allow the little guy a chance to even pee!!

    So not much progress in the cutting back all the way on caffeine or coffee. I need it more than ever now in order to keep up with the girly!

    Outside of that, nottalotta nothing. Watching a ton of Live PD re-runs and being lazy lately. Probably run down by night time with all the new exercise I never really did. I love that show though! It's like it made Cops disappear and is the new go to show for watching folks getting arrested!
    “You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin."
