The ground around here is very dry and the rivers are getting low. Great that a warm summer is upon us, but we need rain. Not rain like we got in 92 and 93, but some wet stuff.
Daily life is improving a little since that last blog I printed about my June glooms, but but the local TV is full tonight of nothing but misery in the local region. There was a funeral for the first woman soldier from Iowa to get killed in Iraq, and she left a 9 year old kid behind. There were at least five car or truck crashes today along the interstate. A football player from ISU died of cancer at 24. A little girl in the metroplex has a rare brain stem tumor which will probably kill her in a few months. And after all that sad news PBS ran a bio of Cole Porter which told all about his life with broken legs and his sinking into depression before he died. And I discovered while shopping for groceries how high food prices are going, and it cost 38 bucks to fill my car tank. And I am having troubles with my landlady. And more small town factories in Iowa are closing, and the Wall Street Journal has an article about the millions of kids in America who are going hungry because their families cannot afford to buy food.
I need to get happy or at least less blue, after all that stuff, and am going to work at it. This will be all for right now, after this gloomy news rehash, and need to sleep on it. So you all wait for my next happy blogging. Di di mau!
