I DIDN'T WAKE UP UNTIL 4:30 THIS MORNING

2014-08-12T05:32:00.002-05:00

Actually, I don't know why I bothered to wake up then. My calendar is totally empty today. That's the way I like it. I've never trusted people who are always busy.

A THOUGHT

2014-08-12T04:47:00.001-05:00

"The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?"

2014-08-11T18:13:00.001-05:00

If you grew up in the '80s, you may have owned a Pound Puppy. Well, they're making a comeback: http://t.co/d7kaNVAApM pic.twitter.com/lBEUxDRmV7

The sky is a November gray and there's a feel of fall in the air with the temperatures in the mid 70's at mid-day.

The National Weather service says we can expect to see scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms as a cold front sweeps across the area today and tonight.
