USA Wins

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 64 degrees, high 80 degrees, partly cloudy

Have you ever noticed how fast kids seem to be growing up in this day and time? When I was 12 years old, I don't remember even noticing girls, much less wanting to date one. Thomas was telling us today that he was going to ask Ashley (a girl at his school) to go on a date. I asked him why he decided to do that, and he said she was "the hottest girl in school". Thomas is 12 years old, and the girl is the same age. It remains to be seen whether he will lose his nerve or not.

We watched the USA win the Ryder Cup on TV in the afternoon. It was good to see the USA win for the first time in several years, and the win was performed without Tiger Woods, who is injured. The USA had several rookies playing, and they were the players who were the key to victory.

About half the gas stations here were out of gasoline for about a week after Hurricane Ike hit Texas. Slowly, they are being supplied again, but only with regular gas. The prices are starting to come down a little, but I think it is a safe bet that they won't come down as fast as they went up. Diesel continues a slow fall in price.

We had another slow day, but the nice weather we are enjoying continued. According to the forecast, we have another ten days of moderate temperatures and lower humidity ahead of us. Clothes washing day is tomorrow. We'll see what the rest of the day brings.

More later, be safe.
