Hey hey all!!! Take cover Mark, Bov, and Fran....we had a wicked summer storm roll through here twice already today and the second was windy with hail!!! A little larger than pea sized suckers that beat the hell outta my flowers!

I managed to get the potted Hibiscus onto my side porch just in time, but the rest were out there fending for themselves.
Poor Bo just finished repainting his newer truck, just brought it home on Wed last week. I had to go peek at it first to see if it suffered any hail damage and am happy to report that it did just fine. He almost got a tail whoopin when he came inside and I found him rummaging through my dish towel drawer looking for a soft enough towel to dry the rain from the truck. NOBODY messes with my dish towels!!! hahaha I'm happy to have him loving that newer truck, he deserves it, but I will also be happy when the "newness" wears off a bit.....trying to take my dish towels for such nonsense, ha! (btw, I'm not completely heartless...I hooked him up with a fine shammy for the truck) I guess if I have to share his affection, I'm glad it's just with a truck! ;P
I hear ya on that chemical additive for the Mt Dew ElDee, it's the same one used in certain flavors of Gatorade to yield the brighter colors! There's another one in those vitamin waters Bov, so don't drink too many of them. something about the liver not being able to break it down, and it just builds to a level of toxicity. That's why I was peeved at the schools removing soda machines in lieu of Vitamin water dispensers. It also really aggrivated me that anyone would put it in something called Vitamin water, which sounds like it's supposed to be healthier for ya. KWIM? It's just not right. Anyways, I know we sometimes have to pick the lesser of two evils and such, but gosh darnit, just give me real sugar and no chemicals. Is that too much to ask? Ok, rant over......until next time!
