Hello, fellow bloggers. Just a little update on what's going on around Rossville, Indiana, pop. 1500+.

First, I played my usual 18 holes of golf (73 and won in league play). The fairways are dry and the ball rolls a long way. Any rain has gone right around my neck of the woods.

Today, I finished washing all the windows I'm going to wash. Plus I got my truck washed and waxed! Except for a few dents and dings (from hauling firewood), my 6 yr old Dakota looks like new.

Following cleaning my truck, I jogged 3.5 miles. My sister thinks I'm being compulsive. She says, "Haven't you done enough for today?" But it was cool and cloudy, and I still need to get in shape for my Aug. 28 5k run (in Rossville). Walking 18 holes of golf just doesn't cut it. I felt fine.

Speaking of my sister (the one that lives with me), she had a good week conducting a music camp for youngsters back in Virginia. She's leaving in the morning for Wash (St.) to see her son and new grandson. For some odd reason, her plane goes from Indy to Charlotte NC before going to Seattle! Go figure. She'll be visiting for 9 days.

Then there's my ear problem. Good news is- it's better. Bad news is -it's only 50% (est) improved. I still feel like I have Lake Michigan sloshing around in there. Three more days of amox., then we'll see. At least I can hear again.

Haven't had any raccoons lately (I probably just jinxed myself) in the sweet corn. But I've got some major critter (s) in my garage. He's dug holes under the pole barn structure to get in and has rummaged around messing things up. What is it? Rat? I've set a trap and put out varmint poison. No takers yet. Hmmm.

And one last thing: my back yard still qualifies for federal aid to get it cleaned up. The septic man says he'll return, but when? In the meantime, I'm hanging on to the $1500 due him.
So there's all the news fit to be printed. Thought you'd like to know! (roll eyes)
