Sick?

Believe it or not but yesterday the sun didn't hide until it retired for the night. We had the sun in the morning and the moon at night for once. I may be bluffing about the moon because I really didn't look for it but I think it was probably there. Mid-afternoon we did get about 30 drops of rain then back to only muggy.

I took the no rain opportunity to mow the grass and I'm hoping as hard as I can that I didn't kill it. It was so humid that just sitting outside you would wet your clothes with perspiration. Well, when I mowed the lawn the perspiration increased ten-fold or more and just ran off my body. I literally sprinkled the little lawn with that salty solution. I've looked this morning and it all appears to be okay with one exception. One place where I had stopped to watch a boat run between the no wake buoy and the dock at a too fast speed. I don't know if standing there too long did it or if it might be the result of an extra large dose of solution that I may have expelled while standing there, because that boater really did piss me off.

I also cleaned the gutters but they are aluminum so I don't think the moisture from my body running through them will cause any rust. Just in case I did take a look at them this morning and the only unusual thing I noticed was seven squirrels that appeared to be licking on them in various places. I guess they don't have enough salt in their diet. If that's the case I'm thinking I'll try to buy some saltpeter to put out for them. I don't know it that stuff works or not but I may give it a try. We have way too many squirrels around here and I haven't any desire to shoot them. The saltpeter wouldn't be an immediate solution but it could help in the long run.

One of the medications for my high blood pressure is a diuretic. I was puzzled of the lack of action yesterday by that medication. Thinking back about the severe perspiring that went on I have concluded that it is not absolutely necessary for one to have a special orifice to eliminate water from ones body. I think I'd want to keep mine tho, partly because of where it is, but the main reason is, it works so well and with it's use it isn't necessary to shake ones complete body.

I may be a bit sick and warped in the head but my heart and all my orifices do seem to be in their proper places. Sorry if you've been offended.
