The rains have stopped and summer heat and clear skies are here for a while. The water is now along Old Man River and is making things wretched around St. Louis. It will take a very long time to rebuild Cedar Rapids (93 thousand tons of stuff that has to be disposed of. Iowa City and the U. of Iowa also got flooded bad.
I forgot I think to mention that a while back that old Robert Mondavi the wine emperor has died, and George Carlin died at the beginning of this week. I was never a Carlin fan, but many many people loved him, and he was a cultural icon, so rest in peace, George. The clock seems to be ticking on whether the US or Israel does the bombing of Iran's nuke facilities. Something is building up toward a showdown with Nejad. Oil prices are still 4 bucks or more a gallon (ethanol is still about 3.90, but could go way up). I am hoping for a dry warm winter next season, so that people will not get crushed even more when heating oil prices are piled on car gas prices. I am going to wind up this blog entry for now. I am not going to get into the daily doings in the Campaign and I am having some family matters that do not need to be sent into cyberspace and retirement as a long-term lifestyle is beginning to weigh heavy, but I must role manly with these personal matters. You all take care, and we will blog again. Di di mau1
