We have discovered that our local media MUST have something to get upset about, and try to get the public to panic. This week, it's the summer weather. The last time I checked, it was the end of August, and if I remember correctly, it's always hot, and the hot weather sometimes continues into September. …

First off this week, I have to disagree with one of the quotes Tina used in her post (link at the bottom). The quote stated that all noise is "waste". In my opinion, it depends on how you define "noise". Is the soft plashing of a creek considered noise? Or is it a pleasant, relaxing …

Here's why. That's what WeatherBug told me. We were very pleasantly surprised to find that the site of …
For the first eleven days of September, Hubby and I drove from our home in Washington State to South Dakota and back. We went through the states of Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota and North Dakota.
