"REPORTS OF MY DEATH ARE GREATLY EXAGERATED!"--Mark Twain

After surviving a Perfect Storm this Blog is once more alive and well! Brief “weather report”:

1.   Our family has recently experienced two major medical emergencies. (Comment---911 is very, very fast in Shawnee!)

2.   Desktop computer is still in the process of being relocated. Laptop will not connect to internet. Broadband modem stopped working.  It was replaced by an ATT provided modem/WI-FI combo. I have enough working to revive the Blog. Can’t keep my classmates waiting!  (Vanity and pride are a constant enemy of the Soul.)

3.   Extremely hot weather---30 days over 100 degrees---and several large wildfires in OK and our county has kept us glued to the TV. Many, many homes destroyed. Dollar loss immense, so far just one fatality. Emotional loss beyond estimate!

AS I REPORTED IN AN EARLIER POST, “THINGS THAT HAVE NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE HAPPEN ALL THE TIME !”
