Golf Course

We had 4 1/2 inches of rain yesterday. We had another 1 1/2 inches today. Our golf course is just one huge lake of water. We have never seen anything like it. Levees are breaking in nearby towns and they are having to evacuate people. They can't drink the water because the water plant isn't working. I wonder what they are doing with the people in nursing homes and the hospital. All restaurants are closed there. Other towns are closed to traffic and campgrounds in a town farther out is under water, trailers, vehicles and all. I saw a deer being swept downstream. Poor thing. What a sight.

NBA Playoffs - Lakers vs Celtics

The Celtics beat the Lakers again 98 to 88 in Game 1. Paul Pierce, who used to sneak into Lakers games as a kid, came bounding out of the tunnel from the locker room after leaving with an injured knee. He led he Celtics to a tense victory of the Lakers in Game 1 of these tradition-soaked finals. An excited crowd of more than 18,000 screaming fans watched as Pierce made two 3-pointers in just 22 seconds to give the Celtics a 75-71 lead. What an exciting game. My son, the Lakers fan, had to be disappointed though.

Severe Weather

Why is it everytime it rains this year, we get severe weather. Several towns SE of us have been blown right off the map. They have been totally demolished by tornadoes. And today is another of those days. Severe weather warnings for half the southern part of the state. It thundered half the night here and we got 1/4" of rain again. Fields are flooded. The new corn is drowning. It isn't good at all.

NASCAR at Dover

Kyle Busch revels in his role as NASCAR's villain. As the top driver, he enjoys his role so much more. He was simpleysensational again. He dominated the second half of the 400 mile race Sunday at Dover International Speedway and racing to his Spring Cup series best fourth win of the season. He has a total of 10 victories this season. He won for the third time in the last five Cup races. But watch the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Although he didn't find himself in Victory Lane he's pretty close. Kyle Busch earned his fifth straight top three finish and has not finished outside the top 10 in any of the last seven races.

Sex and the City

The movie "Sex and the City" made it big at the boxoffice this weekend. They made $55.7 million. That just shows that Sarah Jessica Parker and her gal pals have not lost their sex appeal. This weekend "women Power" was outstanding. Some called it a "Chick Flick" but it appears men and women both went to see it. They had forecasted it to take in about half that amount so I am sure they are really happy with the movie.

June 1, 2008

Can you believe it is June already. The weather has been at least a month behind. It is quite normal to have nights in the 40's and that is too cold. Now suddenly it is summer. Have to turn off the furnace and turn on the air conditioner. So much for saving any energy or chance of lowering the light/gas bill. We kept the windows open as long as we could but enough was enough. When it gets 85 in our house, we need air and the wind has almost quit altogether now that we need it.
