Wasn’t there a big flap about who was going to play Snape? Or was that just a publicity stunt ? Personally I would not want to try to take up any role that has starred Alan Rickman… Those are big shoes to fill.

Church this AM then picked up a submarine sandwich, chips and a soft drink at a local deli. Enjoying the breeze in the yard now.

Starting to plan for a visit to my daughter’s mid-October to hopefully catch some of the autumn colors in the N GA mountains and catch up with her and the grand girls.

Y’all have a good day!

I saw a picture somewhere on social of Snape's replacement. It was pretty good pick, I thought.

I think people who have active imaginations will often prefer a book of fiction over a film......

I do not have a good imagination so fiction is horribly boring for me... overall....

I always choose the book when possible. So much more backstory etc.

Was wakened by a 4.3 earthquake centered just a couple miles from us. One of those where you really wonder if a semi ran into the house. All is well though and will try to get more zzzz

Good morning, everyone.

@MarkD, wow a earthquake is so scary. I was in one once in California and it was scary but not a big one. However, I could feel the movement. I am glad you are safe.

Three disturbances in the Atlantic Ocean now. One is Hurricane Gabrielle and the other two are waves, one off Africa and the other just came up on its own. It looks like they might go North but too soon to tell.

I will be going to get a blood test this morning and then will just see how the rest of the day goes as no particular plans.

Make it a good day, everyone.

Good morning! "They" are predicting rain for the next few days, starting this afternoon. We are thinking of going to the gym this morning, and staying home tomorrow.

Rain is forecast for our area.
No sign that rain stopped by here.

Where ever the rain is ,,please send us some, this evening.

Hubby has a large tree to cut down,, this after noon.

Looking at the tree swaying,, wondering if that will save a tree for another day?

Much better! Ended up getting 8 hours sleep somehow. It was hard to get to sleep because of bladder issues but even that seems cleared up. Maybe the earthquake settled something.

We've always found earthquakes exciting and fun as forces of nature. My wife always feels them and there was no missing this one. The largest one I've been through was the 6.9 one centered in Loma Prieta near Santa Cruz. That was most destructive one around here in my lifetime. But I have to say I've always thought the prospect of being in a hurricane to be far scarier.

Itch is easy to deal with by simply using my hair blow drier on the few skin bites that I also use whenever I get a bit of poison oak on skin. That will last several hours itch free.

I've never heard of that hack. Does it also work with other insect bites?

What a drag to have picked up bedbugs. I hope this is a very short infestation.

Also, my son said he saw a hack by a lady who's video proved her point. Cut an avocado and leave it in a closed container with cut up red onion to make the avocado last longer. Hers stayed fresh for 7 days.

I'm going to have to try that, thanks for the tip!

Today's hunt was a bust, after a tiny rain yesterday afternoon, clearing skies, and a prediction of 39°F I thought it was going to be active. Turns out it was warmer, only 45°F so the elk were just in a blah mood. This was one of only 3 hunts out of 16 I didn't see an elk. There was 1 or 2 bugling from the bedding area but they quit around 8am. I even broke out my cow in estrus impersonation and got one of them to move closer, but he eventually shut up and stopped moving towards me. I did hear several bugling on the walk out so maybe an increase in rutting behavior is imminent.

To date I've seen +- 120 elk, 9 deer, and no lions. I have an elk, deer, and lion tag. The Wx looks stable through the remainder of the season so no real wx triggers in the forecast, unfortunately.

Off tomorrow, back in the tree Wednesday.

I'm home from town, and I've had a good workout. It's turned into a beautiful, sunny day...but hot and HUMID!!!! I have no idea what happened to the rain that was supposed to start this afternoon, but I can see some heavy clouds to the south, and they are moving away!
