The Heat Is On

Global warming may be real. But, it's more likely that the heat is due to the season known as summer. Al and Campbell have been hanging out around the pool to beat the heat while I have to work.

Independence Day Weekend

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

We spent the majority of the weekend at The Farm. MeMe and Pawpaw were there, and Auntie Karisha was there on the 4th. Hunter had a mechanical problem of some kind. It was peaceful. The weather was amazing for July in Alabama. D.C., Philly and New York may have been scorching, but in the Heart of Dixie the weather was sunny with a constant breeze that kept temperatures well below what is normal for early July.

On Sunday we all had a big lunch with baked potatoes, baked beans, rolls, grilled chicken and steaks. Homemade ice cream finished off a great meal.
