July 2

Shoot! I've always believed that I was a very thoughtful person but I must have been wrong! For the life of me I can't think of a thing worthy of typing. It has been that way for some time now, you as my witness.

I suspect that a lot of folks are like me and can't really read when being bothered by music. So I added a little music to this mornings note in hopes of fuzzing the fact there is no content. Only thing wrong is for some, I had to cut it short, not knowing if they were still using a dial-up service or not. If you are still using dial-up, I guess I can add you to the growing list of folks who are aggravated at me for one reason or another. If you are using dial-up please let me know so I can keep my 'aggra list' straight.

One thought maybe, I replaced an old timber wall yesterday. As near as I call determine, in this very hot heat and high humidity, I moved over a half ton, around 1215 pounds, of concrete blocks to do it. The little wall was only five feet long and two blocks high but it was in a near impossible area behind a bush.

We thought we had more blocks at home than we did so ended up one short. The small 12" wide and 6" thick only weighted 27 pounds apiece but when you move each of the nine blocks we had, five times or more that weight really adds up. Ooooh my sore knees and aching back. My tongue is kinda sore and bloody too but I was able to cut short a lot of cuss words before they left my mouth.

Anyway, where there is life there is hope and we both woke up full of it this morning. We're trusting you did too!

I still believe in Hope - mostly because there's no such place as Fingers Crossed, Arkansas.~Molly Ivins
