JSS: Boating-- Last Gouge?-- Rain-- Poinsettia-- Blow-Outs

JSS--  Just Some Stuff


1. BOATING-- Boated over to Electric Harbor yesterday and sat out at the tiki bar out by the lake and enjoyed the $2 cheeseburger and fries.  This was the 31st time out boating for us.  We always have a goal of 40 outings a season, so most of the way there.  Not bad considering we were out of the lake for five weeks because of low water from the drought.


2.  LAST GOUGE?--  The GRBs had the gall to raise gas in Fox Lake from $4.10 to $4.16 this past weekend.  Don't they know the price shoould be dropping, not going up?  Somebody go tell the jerks.


3.  RAIN--  A welcome relief after this summer's drought.  We had rain Saturday, Monday night, last night and another storm just rolled in.  We sure needed it, but could have used it a month ago.  Unfortunately, the grass needed cutting yesterday and really needs it now.


4.  POINSETTIA--  We had a short, mean little storm comethrough last night which blew my prized poinsettia of the table on the front porch and broke just about every branch off.  I've had it for four years now and it blooms with those neat read leaves every year.  Hope it comes back.  Mean Old Storm.


5.  Blow-Outs--  Rough time for our Chicago baseball teams last night.  The Sox were blown-out 18-9 by the Twins and the Nationals beat the Cubs 11-5.  Oh well, if I'm going to lose, I'd rather it be a blow-out than just one run.
