And the days keep getting a bit warmer. I sure liked the early part of the week. That was <b><span style="color: #073763;">MY</span></b> kind of summer.<br />

Our Hoosierland weather for today brings us mostly sunny skies (again), temps climbing into the low <b>80s</b> (again), and no rain on the immediate horizon (again).<br />

<i>Marcus Dansby</i>, poster boy for bad choices in life got<b> 295 </b>years in jail for the killing of<b> 4</b> people back in September of <b>2016</b>.<br />

There are times when things change<b><span style="color: #073763;"> SO</span></b> much(and maybe not for the good) , the only choice you have is to adapt.<br />
To go about as if nothing has changed sets you up for the predators out there (of which there are too many).<br />
Our society has changed a lot over the last <b>50 </b>years, and some of it has been beneficial to many.<br />
On the other hand, the way evil hangs around with such intent, begs for us to do what we need to in order to sustain a life as close to normal as we used to have.<br />
This is not a gun issue...it's an <b><span style="color: #073763;">EVIL</span></b> issue. Just look at the <i>Dansby</i> case...pure unadulterated evil there. No remorse at all.<br />

The real crime to all of this is that when good people fail to act and do something to thwart evil, it gains strength, and in today's world, that's the last thing we need...or should want.<br />
There's something to think about.<br />

You just know there are those out there <i>"gaming the system"</i> and getting what they really <b><span style="color: #20124d;">DON'T </span></b>deserve, thereby keeping such benefits out of the mouths of people who <b><span style="color: #20124d;">DO</span></b> need it.<br />

<b><i>((The massive conclusion to Marvel's Infinity Saga topped Avatar, which has held the worldwide record gross for ten years, as Endgame's global tally now stands at $2.79 billion. Added to that, if you missed the announcement, Marvel titled several of its upcoming 2020 and 2021 releases as the next phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is set to begin.)) </i></b><br />
The movie <b><span style="color: #660000;">Avatar</span></b> is now in <b><span style="color: #660000;">SECOND</span></b> place...sorry, Jim...them's the breaks.<br />
I suppose it's not bad, considering I'm not overly fond of the ending to Endgame. But, that's just my opinion.<br />
There's a lot regarding time travel which gets overlooked and makes little sense.<br />

Do I think the <b><span style="color: #660000;">NEXT</span></b> phase of the<b><span style="color: #660000;"> MCU</span></b> will be better? I doubt it, but they kept a few from the last phase for a return.<br />
Like I always say...sometimes, change is not really as good a thing as those marketing it would have us think.<br />
But, time (and profit margins) will tell...as they always do.<br />

I have to say that was one <b><span style="color: #274e13;">HECKUVA </span></b>weekend, and not just weatherwise (for Wifey and I anyway. More on that at the close).<br />
Yes, it <b><span style="color: #274e13;">WAS</span></b> hot and humid, and it looks as though we'll be taking a break in that meteorological rut with a slight cool-dwn.<br />
Our Hoosierland weather brings us ,mostly cloudy skies, temps rising to around <b>80</b> degrees( gonna feel like fall...<b><span style="color: #274e13;">LOL</span></b>), and a light breeze. We might have a leftover shower or two roll through the area in the afternoon.<br />

This took place in the Winchester Ridge subdivision in the <i>900 block of WInchester Lane</i> ( Off Dinkelberg Rd) around <b>0130 hrs</b> Sunday morning.<br />
Police responded to shots fired at a <i>"house party"</i> there.<br />
At least two people were hit by gunfire. Both victims were taken to a hospital; one in serious condition.<br />
It's a nice looking neighborhood, but, as we often find out, looks <b><span style="color: #274e13;">CAN </span></b>be deceiving.<br />
I find it hard to think that this was <b><span style="color: #274e13;">NOT</span></b> a case of blacks acting up, because this is the typical <b><span style="color: #274e13;">M.O.</span></b> in our area (and especially a little farther north).<br />

Plus, after seeing a spot on the local news channel, a woman interviewed (who asked that she not be <b><span style="color: #274e13;">ID</span></b>'ed - her face was blurred) was black. She said <b><i>"this don't happen in this neighborhood"</i></b>.<br />

I was limping about due to an acute case of <i>Plantar Fasciitis</i><span style="color: #6a6a6a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.02px;"><b> </b></span></span>(really bad timing)...not fun, especially in dress shoes, but I managed well enough, thank the Lord.<br />
Thankfully, it was in my left foot, so driving wasn't an issue going down there.<br />
It wasn't as much a <i>"funeral"</i> as it was more a celebration of life, and Wifey was the primary speaker at the service. It was a beautiful eulogy focusing on strength, humor and love.<br />
She did her dad (and all of us) proud.<br />
I would be honored if she spoke <b><span style="color: #274e13;">HALF </span></b>as highly of me when my time arrives. Don was indeed a good man and lived a good life.<br />

I came very close to breaking down when the last song at the viewing was <b><i><span style="color: #274e13;">"Go Rest High On That Mountain"</span></i></b>, sung by <i>Vince Gill</i>. I <b><span style="color: #274e13;">LOVE </span></b>that song.<br />
I only have <b><span style="color: #274e13;">ONE</span></b> album (cassette) by Gill (<b>When Love Finds You - 199</b>5), and the <b><span style="color: #274e13;">LAST</span></b> track on the<b><span style="color: #274e13;"> B</span></b> side is (you guessed it)...that <b><span style="color: #274e13;">VERY</span></b> tune.<br />

After that, we drove to the cemetery and had a brief service at the chapel, where an <b><span style="color: #274e13;">HONOR GUARD</span></b> did a flag folding ceremony and presented the flag to Wifey. I was not expecting that, but Don had been an Air Force Vet, and his coffin was flag-draped.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5rNWKchVitcENUKf5qLT96ZlTc-AjbfzpGw2AIC8P20nvJAMOcn0qwkCaW4Cb2t3PBwE-GIC6WGzLHg48uzJhlHMhTS15B_VbcNG2cNOaHGuRI_O4gEvnTOnAAiDJJDEHJN5u/s1600/072019_honor-guard01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="480" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5rNWKchVitcENUKf5qLT96ZlTc-AjbfzpGw2AIC8P20nvJAMOcn0qwkCaW4Cb2t3PBwE-GIC6WGzLHg48uzJhlHMhTS15B_VbcNG2cNOaHGuRI_O4gEvnTOnAAiDJJDEHJN5u/s320/072019_honor-guard01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
We then went outside where the honor guard extended a <b>21</b> gun salute and there was also the playing of <b><span style="color: #274e13;">TAPS</span></b>. That really choked me up.<br />
I went over to thank the members of the honor guard, and they presented me with all the brass used in the rifle salute.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wifey and I then went to where Don will rest with his wife, and where Uncle Leo and unt Wanda already are.<br />
We then stopped at <i>Richards</i> in Portland for a midday meal (<b>25+</b> family members) and Wifey's uncle Arthur (Don's last surviving brother of six) picked up the tab (another beautiful soul).<br />
Wifey and I then returned to the funeral home, picked up all the items of Don's that we had on display (along with a few plants). We asked that the flowers that didn't go graveside be donated to a nursing home there. We then returned home.<br />
I didn't know <b><span style="color: #274e13;">HOW</span></b> beat we were until we got back into the <b><i><span style="color: #274e13;">"Fortress"</span></i></b>. <br />
Both my feet were aching, and Wifey was out on her feet.Yesterday was a day of rest.<br />
Today, we get back to our lives, ever affected by those who have gone home before us and we thank God for their time with us.<br />

Yep...have someone call in a <i>"disturbance"</i>. This took place before <b>0900 hrs</b> at a house near the intersection of <i>Bowser and E. Fairfax St</i>..<br />
Up to <b><span style="color: #073763;">TWENTY FWPD</span></b> vehicles were there, including <b><span style="color: #073763;">SWAT</span></b>.<br />

And let's not forget the<b><span style="color: #20124d;"> PEACE TREATIES</span></b> Wayne made with the <i>Cherokees</i> and <i>Creeks</i> (when in Georgia).<br />
Just read his <b><span style="color: #20124d;">WIKI </span></b>and you'll find out he was a very fine military commander, who often held out against superior numbers.<br />

Imagine that...banning a quote from <b><span style="color: #20124d;">St, Augustine </span></b>(considered to be the most significant religious thinker after St. Paul) that is contained within the official Catholic Liturgical books.<br />
After reading the quotation in question, I find <b><span style="color: #20124d;">NO</span></b> <i>"hate speech"</i> ...just a whole lotta <b><span style="color: #20124d;">TRUTH </span></b>about mankind.<br />
Here's the quote:<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #20124d;">"Let us never assume that if we live good lives we will be without sin; our lives should be praised only when we continue to beg for pardon. But men are hopeless creatures, and the less they concentrate on their own sins, the more interested they become in the sins of others. They seek to criticize, not to correct. Unable to excuse themselves, they are ready to accuse others."</span></i></b><br />

Ever since I first met <b><span style="color: #20124d;">Don</span></b> (my then soon to be father-in-law) you could tell he was (above all) a good man.<br />
He (and his late wife, <b><span style="color: #20124d;">Nancy)</span></b> raised a fine daughter and he was an excellent provider.<br />
He was also an avid bird enthusiast (they call them <i>"birders" </i>in Indiana).<br />

For the longest time, he always called me Robert, and although I prefer Bob, it never bothered me one bit.<br />
He had a good run in life, touched more souls than even he would know, and left a legacy that will remain long after his earthly body is interred.<br />
My hope is to get to see him again, as do all the other family members that remember him with such love and fondness.<br />
Thank you for all you've done for us over the years, and may God receive you into his loving arms now and for all eternity.<br />
No long or sad goodbyes...just a heartfelt <b><i><span style="color: #20124d;">"...until we meet again".</span></i></b><br />

Looks like we're in for a few <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">VERY</span></b> hot (and humid) days ahead of us in the Midwest.<br />
After the weekend, we get some relief, but not as much as we should (that will come in November...lol).<br />
Our Hoosierland weather for today brings us mostly cloudy skies (maybe a stray shower early on), temps reaching to around <b>90</b> degrees and of course, plenty of humidity (or <b><i><span style="color: #4c1130;">"humisity"</span></i></b> if you like it steamy...heh).<br />

I like to believe we're <i>"just passing through" </i>this plane of existence. Our time here is like a <i>"way-station".</i>..a place to prepare ourselves for a greater journey, and one not limited by time or space.<br />

It sure doesn't look like we got any overnight rain. Guess we're saving that for today? It's cloudy enough outside this morning.<br />
Actually, it's already quite humid, and I'm not expecting it to get better as the day wears on.<br />
Our Hoosierland weather for today brings us partly to mostly cloudy skies, temps climbing again to around <b>90</b> degrees, and yes, the possibility of rain is in the forecast, which means <b><span style="color: #660000;">LOADS </span></b>of humidity. Enjoy the show, kids.<br />

I know I was still in high school, and it was a much different time in our country. In many ways...it was a better time.<br />
Rather than be united as a people through some devastating disaster, we were galvanized as a nation for a technological and human achievement.<br />
It was a time to embrace the human spirit with this endeavor.<br />

Somehow, I don't believe there was a larger ratings coup in the history of television, and it certainly was one of those "once in a lifetime" moments for all of us who were there to watch.<br />

I will go on record by saying that I've had enough of the heat and humidity of summer.<br />
On the <i>"up"</i> side, the lawns grow a <b><span style="color: #0c343d;">LOT</span></b> slower without rainfall.<br />
As for the down side? Well, there's too many to mention in the time and space allotted here...heh.<br />
Our Hoosierland weather for today brings us (as if we needed a reminder), hazy, hot and humid conditions, with mostly sunny skies, temps climbing into the low <b>90s</b> (again), which, with the heat index, will feel even warmer.<br />

There's not a single day that passes where I don't miss my parents. I could use some of their advice, and wisdom.<br />

Leaving this life is hard on many, but the promise of a better (and eternal) life is there for us who trust in the Lord.<br />

Anyway, she takes it in next Friday, and she was told there's no driveability problem with it.<br />
Basically, the engine was running <i>"lean"</i> (more air than fuel), so the<b><span style="color: #073763;"> ECM </span></b>(electronic control module) added more fuel,. which causes the chk eng light to come on.

So, yesterday was wonderfully oppressive as far as heat and humidity were concerned.<br />
Even in the shade, it was <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">STILL </span></b>damn hot. I really felt bad for the cats, who were lethargic as all get out. Hell, I felt lethargic, and I wasn't lugging around a full body fur coat.<br />
Our Hoosierland weather for today brings us a bit <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">LESS </span></b>heat and a bit <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">LESS</span></b> humidity. Sound the trumpets, right?<br />
We're looking at mostly sunny skies, temps climbing to around the mid-<b>80s</b> (yesterday actually hit <b>95</b>) and no rain to speak of.<br />

Now, tech isn't <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">ALL </span></b>bad, as long as it <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">WORKS</span></b> as designed.<br />
Plus, it has to be <i>"bullet-proof"</i>, as in tested thoroughly, so that it functions (again) as designed for those utilizing it.<br />
What tends to bother me greatly, is this constant roll-out of all this tech that seems barely tested at all.<br />
It's like that commercial where things are <i>"just okay"</i>. Sorry, in today's world, that's not gonna cut it.<br />

Personally, the whole sex-oriented business thing can be dialed back a bit. We've enough incentives for the pervs and dumbasses out there already.<br />
Even strip joints aren't what <b><span style="color: #20124d;">THEY</span></b> used to be either, I'd wager.<br />
(One might argue the presence of the Internet and<b><span style="color: #20124d;"> IT'S</span></b> impact on sexual deviancy).<br />

It would appear that the more we embrace the tech, the more immoral mankind is becoming.<br />
Then, there are those who flaunt their ignorance in spite of everything. We call them criminals.<br />
Yes, from the murderers right on down to the ice cream lickers, as well as those who love to break out in fights in public places, just because they cannot (or will not) control their bestial behavior.<br />
Funny, I thought education was another aspect of <b><span style="color: #20124d;">PROGRESS</span></b> in our society...it would seem that assumption is highly misplaced.<br />
I'm sorry, but to live in a better world requires each of us to become better people.<br />

To settle for less shows that some might not be prepared for today's world.<br />
In some cases, The quote above from Alphonse Karr nailed it.<br />
It shouldn't have to be that way if we're supposed to be moving forward...right?<br />

Yesterday was a pretty good weather day - not <b><span style="color: #990000;">THAT</span></b> hot, and definitely less humid. A good day to mow the back yard (which I did early on). Today is going to be a bit <i>"more"</i> as in temps and humidity (yeah, back into summertime).<br />
It is nice out this morning, though.<br />
Our Hoosierland weather for today brings us mostly sunny skies, temps climbing into the upper <b>80s</b> and an increase in humidity (stay in the shade).<br />
No rain yet, but you <b><span style="color: #990000;">KNOW</span></b> that's coming.<br />

We didn't need school buses shuttling kids all over creation to <i>"racially-balance"</i> schools when the parents didn't want it. We didn't need to change the path of a road because people crashed along it (and went into a creek). We just put up steel <b><span style="color: #990000;">BARRIERS</span></b> at the curves to prevent that, rather than place the road close to houses.<br />

I like to compare what we have today versus what we lost over time, and I have to say, it's astounding as to what we replaced various aspects of our lives with over the decades.<br />
We <b><span style="color: #990000;">USED </span></b>ro rely on ourselves a <b><span style="color: #990000;">LOT</span></b> more. Can't say the same these days. We rely on <i>"things"</i> rather than people.<br />

It sure feels a lot better outside this morning. Most of that crappy humidity has taken some time off, and the temps are actually comfortable That's a decent way to begin a summer day in my book.<br />
Our Hoosierland weather brings us mostly sunny skies, temps climbing to the mid to upper <b>80s</b>, and no rain for the most part.<br />

So, how does one celebrate this? Well, I charged the battery back up and then proceeded to start the car. Had to pump the pedal (no fuel injection) to get the carburetor bowls filled with gas. And then presto!,<br />
It started right up and ran like a champ (for the <b>15 </b>minutes I allotted).<br />
Being a bit of a <i>"gear-head"</i>, I had done some research on my car not long after I bought it.<br />
It was assembled in <i>Norwood, Ohio</i>.<br />
So, let's take a look into that facility:<br />

Built cars there from <b>1923 </b>to <b>1987</b>. That's a pretty good run, but<b><span style="color: #274e13;"> GM</span></b> chose to close the place. It wasn't like <b><span style="color: #274e13;">Camaros</span></b> and <b><span style="color: #274e13;">Firebirds</span></b> weren't selling - they made well over a hundred thousand of each model every year, and dealers couldn't keep the showrooms stocked. They both were popular cars.<br />
(but that was when carmakers Made <b><span style="color: #274e13;">CARS </span></b>and not all these goofy-ass crossovers and <b><span style="color: #274e13;">SUVs</span></b>...aka <b><span style="color: #274e13;">TRUCKS</span></b>)<br />

I can only wonder what my Dad would say. He wasn't into trading in every other year (like some people we knew), but he kept his cars until they started doing that <b><i><span style="color: #274e13;">"dollar me to death"</span></i></b> gig.<br />

They have <b><i><span style="color: #274e13;">"FASCIAS"</span></i></b>. Even my Firebird has them but that was in the early days of bumper elimination (more aerodynamic).<br />
Truth be told, the drag-coefficient of my generation <b><span style="color: #274e13;"><i>Firebird</i></span></b> was the <b><span style="color: #274e13;">LOWEST</span></b> of any production car at the time...anywhere.<br />

Wifey's <b><i><span style="color: #274e13;">Impala</span></i></b> only has a <i>"four-banger"</i> and has better pickup and fuel economy, so they got something right.<br />
Still, look at all the classic cars out there from <b><span style="color: #274e13;">ALL</span></b> those years past.<br />
That speaks volumes as to engineering, style, assembly, and longevity of what we <b><span style="color: #274e13;">USED</span></b> to manufacture in America. It would be nice if the same could be said of cars today.<br />

The sad part to this is that the automobile is becoming a dying breed, because some people <i>"think" </i>we all need to drive trucks (<b><span style="color: #274e13;">SUVs</span></b> and <b><span style="color: #274e13;">crossovers</span></b>).<br />
I'm not buying into this garbage, nor the notion of an electric car,,,at least not until they can get the technology a lot safer (no exploding battery packs) and manage to surpass the fuel-driven autos (range)...and at an much more affordable price.<br />
Personally, I'm still waiting for my car to be powered by <b><span style="color: #274e13;">MR. FUSION</span></b>...lol.<br />

Waterloo Gardens is becoming a new <i>"hot spot"</i> when it comes to fires.<br />
This took place at <i>5837 Bunt Drive </i>around <b>0145 hrs</b>. <b><span style="color: #073763;">FWFD</span></b> was dispatched to the <b>4th</b> fire there in the past <b>5</b> months.<br />
No one was in the apartment at the time of the fire (typical).<br />
Naturally, there was a <b><span style="color: #073763;">NON</span></b>-functioning smoke detector in the apartment.<br />

The right is claiming the question (in question) is <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">NEEDED</span></b> due to the <b>Voting Rights Act</b><br />

Every minority that is a <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">U.S. CITIZEN</span></b> gets counted in the census...that's why we <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">HAVE</span></b> the damn thing.<br />

To me, there should be no reason to <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">NOT</span></b> have the citizenship question...unless a lot of people are trying to hide a lot of things.<br />
This is still the <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">USA</span></b>, and in spite of what others think, the question is more relevant today than ever before.<br />
Hiding the truth is not the answer...pursuing it <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">IS</span></b>.<br />

Looks like we're stuck in the sweatbox here in Northeast Indiana, but a little relief is on he way by this weekend.<br />
Until then, we've have to soldier on the best we can under the circumstances.<br />
Our Hoosierland weather today brings us a <b><i><span style="color: #660000;">"heat advisory"</span></i></b>, so take it easy outside today (or inside a building that does not have <b><span style="color: #660000;">A/C</span></b> (like a lot of factories).<br />
We'll have partly cloudy skies, temps rising back into the low <b>90s</b> again (heat index will make it feel like <b>100</b>), and plenty of humidity added on. There may be a chance of showers by sunset. We'll see.<br />
Guess it'll be easy to figure out which young people aren't using deodorant this week...lol.<br />

It's very vocal, and we have a slight issue with <i>"food aggression"</i>, in that when it's done with it's food, it just wanders over and starts eating the other two cats' food...that's a no-no here<br />

I think it's a male, so that would explain the meowing. Females don't get as vocal.<br />

Sorry, but Walmart does not have a brilliant track record when it comes to such exclusivity, because they seem to have stocking issues...as in not <b><span style="color: #660000;">ALL</span></b> stores get the same quantities, so it's really <b><span style="color: #660000;">NOT </span></b>exclusive to <b><span style="color: #660000;">ALL W/M </span></b>stores, is it?<br />
Plus, the eBay prices are ridiculous out the wazoo!<br />

Maybe they should just make it an <i>"exclusive to Hasbro"</i> figure and stock them in <b><span style="color: #660000;">ALL</span></b> stores that carry such action figures.<br />
Might wind up a longer summer than I planned for along these lines. We shall see how this pans out.<br />
Collecting <b><span style="color: #660000;">CAN</span></b> be fun...but, it can also be frustrating...just like life itself.<br />

But I did manage to tucker myself the hell our walking from car to store, through store and back to car again...(whew!).<br />
I got back to Glenbrook<b> 15</b> minutes before Wifey was done (told her it wouldn't take me long). Considering I have never driven to either <b><span style="color: #274e13;">W/M,</span></b> I think I did okay w/o <b><span style="color: #274e13;">GPS</span></b>...heh.<br />

If you enjoyed the heat yesterday (I and our community cats did not), then today (and the next several) will make you smile.<br />
Our Hoosierland weather for today brings us much the same as we had yesterday. We will have mostly sunny skies, temps again climbing to around the <b>90 </b>degree mark , plus a rise in humidity, which will drive the heat index into the low<b> 90s</b>, so it <b><span style="color: #073763;">WILL</span></b> feel a bit more uncomfortable.<br />
Take the proper precautions and don't spend too much time outside, if you can help it.<br />

On the whole, I would agree, but there comes this <i>"void"</i> in the supply and demand aspect which craves to be filled with (who else?) more drug dealers and their subordinates.<br />
And that alone will breed more violent crime.<br />
Whatever good is done can be easily undone unless the pressure can be maintained on these pushers, and, like the story says...it costs money.<br />

Yeah, but the difficult thing is trying to find replacement <b><span style="color: #073763;">PARTS </span></b>when needed, because, we all know that things <b><span style="color: #073763;">DO </span></b>wear out.<br />
And such costs are traditionally <b><span style="color: #073763;">HIGHER</span></b> (than in decades past). The typical <i>"inventory"</i> for parts that older cars would require is about <b><span style="color: #073763;">TEN YEARS</span></b>.<br />
After that, you play the <i>"hunting game"</i>.<br />
I agree that repair shops might be seeing a potential gold mine with these statistics...and maybe they should cater to folks with older cars.<br />

Truth be told, we are a <b><span style="color: #073763;">VERY</span></b> charitable people. Look at all we <b><span style="color: #073763;">GIVE</span></b> to other nations (who don't even comenear our borders at all).<br />
We provide food, water, and other forms of aid whenever there is a catastrophe...that's what we do.<br />
We likewise do the same <b><span style="color: #073763;">HERE</span></b> in the <b><span style="color: #073763;">USofA</span></b>, often without a second thought.<br />
I find it virtuous to be charitable whenever we can, but I don't believe we should become anyone's doormat in the process, to be taken advantage of <span style="color: #073763;"><b>BECAUSE</b></span> of our charity.<br />

Yes, more heat and more humidity. We knew this was coming, but it seems a bit of an abrupt change (to me).<br />
You might want to think about these conditions, by dressing properly (ditch the long underwear for light clothing), keeping hydrated (alcohol isn't the best method...trust me), and making sure you don't overexert yourself (heatstroke can be a bitch).<br />
Our Hoosierland weather for today brings us partly cloudy skies, temps climbing into the low <b>90s </b>and if you can find a breeze, out there, enjoy it.<br />

This was spoken by someone I came to know well in Philly, even though he passed <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">LONG</span></b> before I came along...one <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">John Wanamaker</span></b> (<b>July 11, 1838 – December 12, 1922</b>), who was an American merchant and religious, civic and political figure.<br />
And here is his <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">WIKI</span></b>:<br />

A remarkable establishment that had everything (and on <b>11</b> floors at that). There was even a restaurant near the top floor.<br />
Most notable was the beautiful marble <i>"Grand Court" </i>atrium, the renown <i>Wanamaker Organ </i>(great Christmas light show) and the bronze <i>Wanamaker Eagle</i> created by artist <b><span style="color: #4c1130;">AUGUST GAUL</span></b> (no direct relation that I know of).<br />

Sooner or later, we will have a ban (within city limits) of such mortar rounds and loud aerials...it's just a matter of time, considering how our population has grown over the last decade.<br />

Yes, friends, we are definitely into Summer, as the heat (and humidity) continues.<br />
And here I was liking that <b>70 </b>degree stuff just fine. Fireflies are already active at night, so you know it won't be long before those damn cicadas start their noise (like I need any more down here).<br />
Our Hoosierland weather for today brings us partly cloudy skies, temps climbing to around <b>88 </b>degrees, and don't forget the humidity coming along for good measure.<br />

This took place this past Saturday evening in the <i>2800 block of Broadripple Drive </i>(that's off of <i>Old Trail Rd</i>. behind the cemetery).<br />
A homeowner reported someone shooting at her house.<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #20124d;">((When police arrived, they found multiple shell casings in front of the home and bullet holes outside and inside the residence. The department said some of the bullets ricocheted inside the home. A neighbor told police he heard gunshots and went outside to see a silver Ford Escape quickly driving down the road with three people inside.))</span></i></b><br />
As usual, this is under investigation. I'm glad the occupants weren't harmed, but I'll bet their mental state took a big hit.<br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><b>*** </b></span>Next...A final tally on the string of this past Sunday's shootings:<br />

If you like your summer days a bit warmer than they have been, then you should enjoy today. I probably won't...lol.<br />
At least there's no rain, so you can stow the umbrella for the time being.<br />
Our Hoosierland weather for today bring us sunny skies, temps rising to around <b>82</b> degrees, and maybe a slight breeze. It's actually nice out there early this morning.<br />

This doesn't affect any of us in <b><span style="color: #660000;">OUR</span></b> particular neighborhood, but this is kind of a sudden project.<br />
Standing water? Try getting the mook on the <b><span style="color: #660000;">SE</span></b> side to remove all the dumped <b><span style="color: #660000;">TIRES</span></b> in the area for starters.<br />
This is closer to where <i>Glynn Hines</i> lives (better area of the ghetto with less crime).<br />
Naturally, anything <b><span style="color: #660000;">WE </span></b>need where <b><span style="color: #660000;">WE</span></b> live goes ignored (as usual).<br />
I can't even get the city to ticket chronic wrong-way parking, or get overgrown foliage trimmed back!<br />

Yes, the fun <b><span style="color: #660000;">NEVER</span></b> stops in <b><span style="color: #660000;">FTW</span></b>...does it?<br />
It's like you just can't sit in your <b><span style="color: #660000;">OWN </span></b>vehicle at a coin laundry these days, can you?<br />
Police did get the car back...down in the <b><span style="color: #660000;">GHETTO</span></b> (that's the <b><span style="color: #660000;">SE </span></b>side for the uninitiated).<br />
Naturally the suspects are still at-large (to jack another vehicle at gunpoint).<br />

What I did while reading this was substitute the word<b><span style="color: #660000;"> STREET</span></b> for highway.<br />
At least <b><span style="color: #660000;">SOME</span></b> towns <i>"get it"</i> and are doing something to enforce the littering laws.<br />

The kids had a nice day, doing cat stuff (that means napping and looking outside).<br />
They do take turns following me about the house, and that's fine, as long as I'm not tripping over either one.<br />

And when civility becomes a stranger to any people, that's where the problems begin.<br />
As a city boy, I always did like the allure of farms - plenty of room to roam about, lots of open spaces (the kind of thing that was at a premium in the city), and the ability to <i>"chart your own path"</i>, as it were.<br />
We have this Latino neighbor who <b><span style="color: #660000;">BELONGS </span></b>on a farm, and with good reason...he has <b><span style="color: #660000;">TOO MANY VEHICLES </span></b>in his possession. I mean, even <b><span style="color: #660000;">Jay Leno </span></b>owns a warehouse for <b><span style="color: #660000;">HIS</span></b><i> "collection"</i>.<br />

We live on a residential street, and yet, every day, this guy's got up to <b><span style="color: #660000;">FIVE</span></b> trucks parked along the street, often in front of our place. Plus, he's got that <b><span style="color: #660000;">ATV</span></b> and dirt bike in a garage.<br />

This is in addition to the his driveway, which is also <b><span style="color: #660000;">FULL</span></b>.<br />
Now, it's fine to own as many vehicles as you can afford, <b><span style="color: #660000;">BUT</span></b>...take into consideration the <b><span style="color: #660000;">OTHER </span></b>people that live close by, who maybe don't share this passion for acquisition.<br />
The guy has a <i>"work crew"</i> that comes by every morning, and <b><span style="color: #660000;">THEIR</span></b> cars and<b><span style="color: #660000;"> SUVs</span></b> also park along the street, which only turns our two way street into a one lane street real fast.<br />
It's ignorance such as this that is the problem for me.<br />

(to me, that's a matter of public safety)<br />
This person (and his crew) would be a <b><span style="color: #660000;">LOT</span></b> better off on a damn farm with <b><span style="color: #660000;">PLENTY</span></b> of parking available.<br />
Our street shouldn't become a parking lot-daytime storage area for his vehicles and his friend's vehicles..<br />
A little courtesy for others and civility on his part would go a very long way.<br />
