Today’s Thoughts
New
week. Getting better every day. Today I’m at about 90%. Great!
It’s
another hot one. My new cooler is doing an excellent job.
The
weatherman sez we are not getting the monsoon just yet…it is starting in Eastern
AZ so that is a good sign. Our area needs moisture real soon.
I
headed out early this morning to get groceries. I wanted to get it done before
the heat bore down on me and my vehicle.
Enjoy

out” was an expression used to convey something as amazing or incredible. It
was often used to express surprise or astonishment in response to something
