Exploding Tables and stomachs

Thanks all for helping out with the RAW Madison event - it's going to be fun.
----------------------------------------------

We got home from work yesterday and I looked onto the deck and - HOLY COW what happened.    Having the AC on for what I believe is a record ninth day this year you lose track of what is happening outside and it seemed we left the deck umbrella out.

The wind caught it and it sort of tipped over and bent.  But that was the least of our problems.  The glass table that it was"inside" exploded!  Not just break as I assumed glass tables would but exploded into thousands and thousands and thousands of tiny pieces.  The biggest  being perhaps the size of my thumb but 95% were as shown in the photo. It was the opposite of car glass. 
 

  
And being on a wood deck you could not just sweep them up as they were glass and sharp and did not just "sweep" but caught the wood.  Well, DJ is starting on the deck and I have to go let Blake out who now just walks out and goes straight for the road.  Wherever there is cement he will walk and being 90% blind he just walks where it's hard.  If there is no wall to follow he'll get lost so in the past month he has become pretty much hands on whenever we let him out.

He USED to have boundaries but . . . no more.   

So I corral him back into the house and go help DJ with the piles if glass.  I get the hose and am washing the shards off the deck and DJ goes inside and sees that Blake has now pooped all over the dining room!   sigh!    And that is how our night began.

BUT wait.

Finally we get the world back in order and I take out some leftover little cruller donut things and munch on one and an hour later I feel my stomach about to explode.  WTF!!!   I felt horrable all night but at least the Brewers were going to win 2-0. 

BUT WAIT!

John Axford enters the game to get the SAVE and . . . . oh know!!  He walks the first batter and the announcers, with dread,  say "that's never a good sign".    Five batters later the Brewers are losing 3-2 and I'm sitting on the couch holding my exploding stomach.

Feeling horrible I don't get to bed until 12:01 and at 3:00 Blake wakes up and has to go pee.  I take him for his 3:00am walk and go back to bed until it's time to wake up at 5:45.

FEELING GOOD!!!!

Remember when "we" got KRod last year for insurance for Axford, just in case the Axeman became ineffective?  I think it's time to install KRod as the closer.  At least we know he is effectively wild as opposed to ineffectively wild.

Did you know that Wisconsin and the MidWest is setting weather records as 2012 is having the calmest weather conditions ever?  In Wisconsin there has only been 41 sever weather alerts so far compared to the typical 100s.  So the argument that global warming is bringing more and more dangerous extreme weather is sort of falling by the wayside. In fact 3 of the last 4 years has seen a mammoth drop in sever weather.  Well, there is this heat grass killing thing going on.

El Nino is starting to show it's head which means less hurricanes and sever weather.   OH - I believe there is global warming but I do not believe it is all man made.  I believe a lot of it is natural.  MAN has done a fantastic job in the last 40 years - remember the mammoth smog problems in LA?

 Lastly - another shot of Aluminum Overcast (sort of a dumb name I think).  I was looking up other B17 names and found a list.

Ain’t Miss Behaven
Cow Town Boogie
Grusom’ Crewsom
Kickapoo Joy
Juice Mon Tete Rouge and so forth.

Aluminum Overcast sounds so . . . . generic.

ANYWAY.

Lake Mills Art Fair is this Saturday.  Look for me on the north side under a big shady Oak Tree.

BTW - anybody Electric City by Tom Hanks?  It's a animated show on the net.  5 minute episodes - sort of interactive and very interesting. 

Electric City

Also - I have purchased my very last lens for my camera.   The 3rd generation cameras are starting to come out making all current digital cameras obsolete.  No more shutters, mirrors and so forth. These cameras are just as good as our old clunky Nikon's and Canon's.  The Sony NEX-7 is already on the market.    

Cheers
