Missed 114

Missed the 114 and had to settle for the 106.

Do you know what happens when you walk in another man's shoes, that is when you change your thinking to see from his view? You no longer think for yourself.

We all start somewhere. That location or state of thought at the beginning is important, but not so important as where we end. Immediate corrections and on-going corrections are often needed.

The conventionally powered US aircraft carriers must be refueled every 3 to 5 days. Oil, oil, oil stuff. Millions of gallons transported all over the world so these behemoths can stay on course. Of course, there is an alternative. The alternate is the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. They need refueling of their 4 reactors about once every 7,300 days, say 20 years. Think electricity for our country.

Okay, smiles on these two:

I Pledged my office area. (No, I did not give it away, I cleaned it.) In the process, I moved the computer, its key board, and mouse. After all was clean and done, I could not find my remote mouse. Looked and looked. Story about not seeing the snake in front of you because you are looking for something long and serpentine but it is neatly and tightly coiled -- well I was looking for a black mouse. (Recently my son had been using my silver remote mouse, and I got used to the tethered black one.) No mouse. Asked my dog who is good at sniffing critters out. He said it was right there. I looked and did not see it. So I began to simply move everything on my desk. Pick it up and move it. You got it, one of the things I picked up was my mouse, my silver mouse. Mesmerized by color was I.

I was really looking forward to this weekend. It was to be 114 degrees, maybe 112. GREAT! We had a hill climb road bike ride planned for this Saturday. Couldn't be better. Bummer news. Saturday came and so did the hills, but the temp was only 106. Oh well, there is always next week.
