"All in all, it
was a never-to-be-forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom
into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going
— one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather,
delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection as
anything can come in this world." — L.M. Montgomery |

Today’s Thoughts
Expecting monsoon to begin any time
today. Clouds are dark and ominous.
Yesterday afternoon I scheduled a
haircut for this morning. The girl accidentally made it for Friday. When I
arrived, my stylist was busy. She saw me and said she would fit me in. I had to
wait about 20 minutes, but then I was in and out in no time. Nice to not be so
bushy now.
I listened to parts of most Republican
speeches last night. I did listen to Vance’s entire speech. He did a good job, is very personable, but
neglected some major points like he wants no exceptions in abortion, no money
for Ukraine, and public vouchers that would destroy our current education program.
He made it sound like coal jobs would be coming back, which they never will,
due to automation. Vote carefully in November.
I got a fraud alert from my bank last
night on one of my credit cards. It was cancelled and they are sending me a new
one. It took 3 phone calls to verify the notice was real, but I am confident I
stopped the thief.
As if things weren’t already messed
up, now Biden has Covid. This will give him a chance to drop out of the
election with grace.

Phrases used by Old-er People that younger people might not
understand
“In a Pickle”
To be in a pickle means to be in a difficult or challenging
situation. As shared by The Phrase Finder, “The
‘in trouble’ meaning of ‘in a pickle’ was an allusion to being as disoriented
and mixed up as the stewed vegetables that made up pickles.” The phrase is a
whimsical way of acknowledging a tricky predicament.
False Facts about religions
Jews Do Not Believe
in an Afterlife
Jews believe that there is life after death, but it’s more diverse and
complex than in other Abrahamic religions. As the BBC shares, “most
Orthodox Jews believe that the physical body will be resurrected in the
Messianic Age when the good will rise from the dead.”
