Okay. I know I have never used that as an excuse. LOL!
It’s overcast today. Wonder if we’ll get any rain? We could still use it. It’s insane. Some counties in our area are having flash flood warnings and we’re under a burn ban because it’s so dry.
Today in history:
1901 – Theodore Roosevelt, who was Vice President at the time, uttered the famous phrase, “Speak softly and carry a big stick” at the Minnesota State Fair. I think that’s one of the best mottos of all time, if not the THE best.
1925 – The U.S. Zeppelin USS Shenandoah crashed, killing 14. I still think traveling by airship would be fun. As long as you didn’t crash.
There is absolutely nothing on tonight. So… you know what that means. *g*
Read through another 20 pages last night but I also made the annoying discovery that when my hard drive crashed back in April, I lost my Greek gods cheat sheet cast of characters. And now I don’t remember who some of my supporting cast were back in the Old Days.
1891 – Thomas Edison patented the motion picture camera.
1932 – Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly across the United States non-stop. She flew from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey.
Not a lot going on here. Our humidity has dropped a fair bit, so it’s not quite so breath-stealing when you step outside. Not as dry as the desert, though, no matter what our weatherman seems to think. *g*
The road work has been going on for awhile. They were working yesterday where I could see them. Noisy. Probably stinky up close, too, since they were pouring asphalt.
For those of you not on Facebook or who didn’t see my status update, while searching for some notes I’d written myself about my zombie story (which I never did find), I discovered an “autosaved” copy of the entire book I though I thought I’d lost when the external hard drive crashed back in April. The copy was in a folder I’d never thought to look in on the laptop drive. So there was much rejoicing on my part last night.

Okay, only one sentence but that was the first bit of fiction I’ve written since April.
