Good morning GH. It is just past 2:00 AM here in "The City," and the temperature in the Editorial Office is 80 degrees. After how warm and humid it was on Wednesday, that is a relief. Outdoors, it is also 80, but the humidity is much higher. We expect relief by early Friday morning.

I got to thinking about something that Adam said one day about the unpredictability of life. You never really know what life will throw at you. As Mary has often been quoted saying, "Man plans and G-oddess laughs," or words to that effect. Given the nature of my various illnesses over the last few years and the fact that too many people I know have had a brush with their own set of health issues, I have to agree. That's one of the reasons that I applied for pension benefits as soon as I became eligible.

When I was at the barber the other day, he was telling me about all of the recent trips he has taken and some that he has on his personal horizon. I am glad that he is living his life as fully as he can. There is a commercial on television occasionally that depicts a man stepping in front of a bus while talking on his cell phone. I think that this is a commercial for life insurance and what his family would do if he was suddenly gone.

An old 60s era band, The Grass Roots, had a song titled Let's Live For Today that goes something like this; "When I think of all the worries that people seem to find, and how they're in a hurry to complicate their mind, by chasing after money and dreams that can't come true, I'm glad that we are different, we've better things to do, may others plan their future, I'm busy lovin' you (1-2-3-4) "Sha La La La La La, live for today," etc. If you want to hear it again, go to one of the internet web sites that has a performance on video. I think you will enjoy a little blast from the past.

Speaking of "passed," the lead singer for The Grass Roots passed away in 2011 from an accident. That's why we should all take our trips, buy the things that we really want and never ever forget to love as long and as hard as we can. Life can be so short. So Barb, plan on taking that cruise, you owe it to yourself.

Congrats to our nephew and his wife on the sale of their home. Having lived through that experience a few years back, I know how trying that can be. That should give Barb a reason to travel to the Midwest more often.

In sports, still All-star break.

Today, a little traveling while Mary works, so not much else will get done. I did my time at the big box store on Wednesday, so that was my penance. Sugar and I walked in the AM and then I watered, again, so the plants in the gardens should be good until I can water them again on Friday. Speaking of the gardens, Mary's potato crop is just about ready for harvest. Now she will have to decide on her late summer/fall crop in their old home. Decisions, decisions.

Now for a few pictures, not all cars.

One of the current incarnations of the Nickey Camaros. They sound as good as they look. Turbo charged, and all muscle.

This in on the wall in the "Editorial Office" A man has to have his dreams. Thanks to Mary and Adam.

The first year for the Camaro, 1969. I once owned a variation on this car. How I wish I could own this one or one much like it.

This is Sugar's carrot in the park in Center Town. I keep trying to tell her that she is being stereotypical when she stops, but she doesn't seem to mind.
