Today’s Thoughts
I’m hoping for more
monsoon rain today.
Yesterday afternoon
my area got a couple of nice monsoon rains. Each lasted about 20 minutes. The
temperature dropped to a nice 75°.
Last night had no
breeze and was muggy for Flagstaff. I woke up several times due to the heat,
even with my bedroom window open wide.
That makes today a
little lazy. Just enjoying the summer.

Origin of common phrases
Shoot from the hip
To "shoot from the hip" means to act
or speak impulsively without much forethought. It comes from the American West,
when a gunslinger would fire from the hip without taking the weapon out of the
holster. The shot would be more quick than accurate.

Mick Fleetwood, English-American drummer “If
you were to ask me, ‘What the hell does a musician have in common with a
restaurant?’I would say a huge amount. It’s showtime every day, it’s a team
of people, like, running a circus, which is running a rock-and-roll band.” 78 –
Robert Reich, American economist and politician “No
economy can continue to function when the vast middle class and everybody
else don’t have enough purchasing power to buy what the economy is capable of
producing without going deeper and deeper into debt.” 74 –
