Today’s Thoughts
Cloudy with light
rain. No painters again.
Yesterday, after I
finished the post, smoke from the numerous prescribed burns settled in. The sun
turned the smoke yellow making a very eerie landscape here. The light rain is
getting rid of the smoke today.
The Trump trial continues
on. At least the jurors get to see everything that is going on. They don’t have
to listen to a panel guessing what is going on. I do feel foolish that I watch
the commentary as I have nothing to add for the jury. I just hope it ends soon.
Did you Know?

2,340 miles, the Mississippi River is the third-largest watershed in the world.
That’s one long stretch of water. So long, in fact, that it takes one drop of
water approximately 90 days to travel its entire length.
