So, Gustav has faded into oblivion. But he’s got plenty of replacements. Hanna is set to threaten the East Coast, then we have Ike and now Josephine waiting in the wings.
Funny story out of Atlanta. A young guy was being chased on foot by the police. He was shooting at them and trying to keep his baggy pants pulled up at the same time. The three actions weren’t compatible. 
His baggy pants tripped him up and he fell down. LOL! Still shooting, mind you. The cops ended up shooting and wounding him. But it just goes to show those baggy pants are a death trap, in addition to being a Very Bad Fashion Faux Pas. *g*
Tonight on TV, Eureka is a rerun. I think Cities of the Underworld on the History Channel may be new, though.
And my modem just arrived so now it’s time to see if I can get all my equipment to talk to each other! Well, I may have spoken too soon. I just realized I have to replace everything. The modem, the ethernet cable, the DSL/phone line, the DSL filter doohickey (one on each of our phone lines). May need my dad’s help with that… We’ll see.
Wrote about one page last night.
Reading: Now I’m reading The Mansion of Secrets by Frances K. Judd.
Good luck replacing all that equipment!
We’re keeping a close eye on Hannah. Her path brings her right along our state and then up through our state. Yikes. The good news is we may get some more rain, and still being in drought we need it!
I hope you’re having a terrific day!

Ay-yi-yi on replacing the equipment. I hate when the list grows like that. You want to change one simple thing….
Glad Gustav is fading. I was thinking about you as I was watching the RNC That Wasn’t last night.

I hate when you think you only have to fix one thing but wind of replacing/fixing multiple items.
Did you watch Deal or No Deal last night?

I always expect someone’s pants to do that. I’m childishly gleeful that it happened.

LOL on the bad guy with the falling-down pants!!! Serves him right.

How did I miss this post?? Hey, I HATE the sagging pants. That said, my youngest is SO skinny that his pants are always sagging. I don’t think anything except weight gain is going to solve it. Heck, maybe he’ll do the Freshman Fifteen and put on some weight…

Gustav is bringing the rain here today. I bet you’re getting a bucketful too, aren’t ya?
I think Hannah just made Cat 3.
Oye.
What a mess.
And I have a pants story of a sort. My Oldest Chicken wears her jeans low. Like guys do. Off the hipbones. Drives me absolutely insane. And then she complains about the bottom of the pants dragging.
I’m like…pull the jeans up OVER your butt crack, and you wouldn’t have that problem!!!
