An entire week has passed since my last post...it has flown so quickly that I didn't even realize it until I sat down to do this one! The past week was not a good one, Shane was very sick for most of it (scary sick). No one in our family ever gets normal illnesses...we always have weird stuff:
1. Bacterial Lung Infection(Chas)
2. Heart Arrhythmia brought on by reaction to Seldane(Shane)
3. Cracked Tailbone(Chas)
4. Viral Pharyngitis(Shane)
5. Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum(Shane)
...and that's just the stuff that readily comes to mind. Shane's recent bout with number 4 on the list has finally wound down and he is feeling much better! I hope everyone stays healthy and well for a while!
Work is erratic...this time of the month is strange. Water bills and related issues have dwindled down until the new bills go out on Friday, but the community at large seems to be in a gripy mode. We have been getting calls on all sorts of petty complaints from water in a ditch...to..."my neighbors grass is too high...I don't want them to know that I"M the one who called though!" Although a lady called this morning and her complaint was extremely valid...she had a snake in her house and wanted compliance to come and remove it (which they did post haste)!
I think that being confined to the indoors due to the extreme heat that we have had for a while has caused some people to become bored to the point of ridiculosity. A rumor started last week that one of the "Gentleman's Clubs" (I have never understood where this name came from...it seems to me that "Slimeball Club" would be a more apt description) from a neighboring city is opening an establishment in our little village. Although this rumor is most decidedly NOT true...it is growing rapidly. (A sure sign of boredom). This morning someone noted that a truck load of "poles" had been spotted in town...(for dancers assumably)...good grief Charlie Brown! We had a bit of fun with the whole thing at that point...noting that paraphernalia for the mud wrestling pit would be delivered this afternoon...as well as the naked volleyball fencing. It wouldn't surprise me to see an uprising of citizen concern over this non-existent enterprise at Council tomorrow night!
Be Well!

Leave my . . . tailbone. . . out of it!
Cracked tailbones aren't all that uncommon. I've met a surprising number of people who've experienced them. The arthritis that resulted from it could be another story, though :-)
Considering the "news around town," Chas, I won't ask how you came about a cracked tailbone--at least not till the weather--and the gossip mill--cool.
