Invasion of the June Bugs

The situation is critical, as an army of Junebugs lay siege to my house and yard. I was outside last night and saw hundreds of them flying around about 3" off the ground. They were planning the best route to get in my house. Nosily hovering and waiting for me to open the door. There were casualties in the war, Amy killed one that was in the house, and I killed another. This was insignificant when compared to the amount that died in Mazie's water (once more proving that she is the Wonderdog.). My mother did not believe me so I took a few pictures. It was dark so I could not get more then three or four in each picture, rest assured that there were hundreds of them out there.

Hey There Delilah

I have heard this song on the radio a few times called "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's and really like it. Tonight I found it on iTunes and purchased it. (Of course, I should note that just the title is pretty groovy. Back before I was married, it was the summer I got married, I went on a mission trip to Talaquah, Oklahoma. We (our church) had been there several times, before the trip I purchased 4 new white tee-shirts. That is what I wore each morning, a white tee-shirt and Bib-Overalls. )

Back to the Music...

I have heard several songs that I really like, and would like to purchase on the radio, but I have not caught the title or artist. It is a bummer, I would try to sing them but this is a blog... ...and as everyone knows, you cannot sing in a blog. I also purchased "Spiderweb" by No Doubt, which is my favorite song that they did. It came out and was popular one winter, I remember sitting in a condo after skiing all day watching the video for the song and wondering why she was dating the drummer in the band. Some things you just never figure out.

Cut

In keeping with the moive motif, the director has yelled "Cut, Wrap, and Print" for my participation in the May/June Turnaround Season. We actually had stickers made that refrenced the "Turnaround Season". If it was like the other hunting seanson the "Safety Man" sticker was popular. I do not blog much about work, other then it exists, but since May 7th through last thursday, I had one day off. Durning that time I delt with more situations that I had never delt with in such a short amount of time. I also often felt like I had a bull'seye painted on my back as people fired at me with whatever they had.

I did get a new fancy coffee maker for F-Day (Fathers Day). So this morning I was able to make my own Caffe Mocha this morning. I got my directions from Mr. Mills, who gives driving direction to the tenth of a mile. His coffee directions are more like:

"all you need is your favorite coffee (finely ground you know), chocolate, and milk... It is that easy... put enough chocolate to make you happy in a cup, pour on some frothed milk and then add whipped cream to the top if you like! It is that easy!!!!"

After I made the coffee I went out in the back yard and took some photos. Below is a picture of a bird that Amy's is attempting to identify at this very moment.

Groundhog Day

When I was in high school a movie came out called Groundhog Day. It was a great movie, a weatherman gets stuck reliving groundhog day until he get the day correct. That is what I feel like. Every morning I wake up at the same time, leave for work at the same time, and see the same people in the same meetings. I feel stuck in a rut. I could be the star of a movie called Turnaround. Below are two pictures that I took this evening for your viewing pleasure!

* most of the first week I would fall asleep anywear, on the couch, on the floor, in the rocking chair...

I have not had much time to blog, and I have not had much to say, unless you want to hear about all of the safety issues with the turnaround...

Amy went to Annual Confrence and did the voting, I think that she was interested in the process espicially when it started. Cap is doing well, last night we played in the backyard. He dug up some dirt, put it in the wagon and pulled it around the back yard.

My boss announced, "Only 3 more weeks," today with a smile...
