    Morning everyone. Looks like the rain is over for us for awhile, but the scorching begins!

    And the answer to this is every time!

      That movie scared the heck out of me. But five years later, to the day, one of my all-time favorite movies was released.

        50 years ago we were living in Jacksonville, close to the beach and went every weekend during the summer. I had a really horrid incident body surfing one day and didn’t want to go to the beach the next weekend so we went to the movies instead. Yep.

        I never went in very deep, again. No deeper than I could still see the bottom.

          As one who was among the Children of the Corn in the breadbasket of America, I saw that same movie and we took our annual vacation to sunny Florida that year. I walked on the beach but all of my water time was spent at the hotel pool. 😉

    Aus, the weather Channel is on to you! They call it a “summer winter storm” and Glacier National Park will get 12-18” snow today.

    Here’s a discussion I’ve been meaning to bring up for a couple of weeks, although I expect it to maybe be controversial?

    Remember several weeks ago when my husband and I took our grandson to St. Louis? We stayed at a very nice Marriott hotel, one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed at. To me, the room accommodations slid toward the luxury end, with a full kitchen, well appointed, and a dream bath, very spacious and beautiful.

    It also had quite the city view from our room, and an open restaurant to one side of the lobby, and a huge seating/dining/conference area on the other side. There was a buffet style breakfast in the mornings that I would have been happy to pay for in a restaurant. Really good food, and many choices.

    The complaint, for me, was this. Apparently it is now permissible for people to travel with their dogs, and they were all over the place. The first night I went down to the rest to get our late supper. Little yapped dog in the restaurant running around. Classic tv type situation, an obviously wealthy and indulgent woman who doted on this dog in my dining area. Second patron came in with one while I was there. Two dogs, very small restaurant area.

    The next morning, a number of dogs were in the dining area. Every time we passed through the lobby, usually multiple dogs. The morning we were checking out, people were there with a number of Golden Retrievers. One of my favorite breeds, but oh, do they shed.

    I have always been a dog person. Big dogs, labs and retrievers. I love them dearly, and I’m one of those people who absolutely believe if your dog indicates he doesn’t like someone, there may be something very wrong with them.

    But I was not happy with so many dogs in the hotel, everywhere I went, especially in food areas. My granddaughter is very allergic to pet dander. Being around one flares her up. What reaction could she have had in the midst of all those? When we still had dogs and travelled, we made arrangements for their care.

    I can understand air bnb’s accepting pets. People can pay a deposit, whatever. But when you go to the hotel, instead of encountering one or two pets, you now can be lodged with a big number of them.

    Opinions?

    Things that make you go oh heck no, and tune in to Secretary Kennedy and all the anti vax doctors more.

    Had lab work this week, and they of course tested me for measles immunity. On the range online where my results were posted, it said a value >16.4 indicates immunity. I looked up ranges online, and several sites say only 10 IU/ml.

    The doctor’s office calls, says my doctor wants me to know that I do have immunity, but it’s considered on the low end, I believe the nurse even said dangerously low end. Doctor ordered an MMR vaccination through my pharmacy.

    My value is 40.

      Definitely creepy, but I looked it up and even though they have venom, it isn’t supposed to be harmful to humans. Hope they stay in Australia anyway.

    The Supreme Court is allowing the oil companies challenge to California’s EV mandates to continue.

    https://dailycaller.com/2025/06/20/supreme-court-delivers-blow-to-california-climate-zealots/

    “The government generally may not target a business or industry through stringent and allegedly unlawful regulation, and then evade the resulting lawsuits by claiming that the targets of its regulation should be locked out of court as unaffected bystanders,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in the majority opinion.

      I understand and agree with the 10th Amendment, but this whole thing with Cali essentially running the Country with their weirdness had to stop. Glad to finally see this.
