Good morning!!!!

Happy Fathers' Day to the Dads. A special job. Children need a father figure as much as possible.

Foggy still, and 67, going to 87 with storms.

LS, beautiful sunset. The sunset I remember more than any other in my life was northwest of you near Chaco Canyon/Nageezi. The most incredible colors, lots of pink and purple.

Kyle, I think you're right on the money with your covid prediction. Maybe that's the way it should be. We've always had a tendency for those most susceptible to a disease to take the most precautions, and others try to lead a more normal life. But a vaccine is a necessity in that type world. Even my 89 year old mother told me yesterday she had finally gone to get her hair done and then to play bridge friend's house with other ladies her age. But afterwards she was quite worried and said the pleasure wasn't worth the risk, and she would not go again.

David, so glad Sophie is out of surgery...maybe you can think of your extra night as a Hawaiian vacation...oh yeah, you live in a Hawaii vacation every day. :)

Ken, when I told my wife about your thirsty hose-drinking hummer, she joked she might stand outside all day with the hose running just to see if one of "ours" would do it.

Mostly, sorry your wife is dealing with family issues. They can be so stressful.

When I was out mowing the frisbee field, a red-headed woodpecker perched in the black walnut tree and watched me, like the hawks do sometimes...I went past the tree and sure enough it dove down and caught an insect I had stirred up...then later followed me to the other side of the field. Never seen one do that. They nest in our pines each year and then migrate somewhere in the winter. Since I can't take pix like Ron, here's one courtesy of the internet...

Happy fathers dad to my Dad, who won’t be reading this, and to all the other fathers on TBN that will.

David, hope surgery is successful and sorry for delay. I wore an old tee shirt from Waikiki yesterday to honor you. Forget when I got it, but I did see Pearl Harbor on that visit.
My oldest sister, now passed away, lived in Honolulu for a year back in the 70s.
Drew, I’m sure the plants needed watered.
Top pop, hope all is well with you.
Buppies, you were up early, I was up till about 2 am, so I will want a nap later.
I have song leading at worship today. Then will order some takeout lunch.

Saw a ruby hummer the other evening, usually I just see the green one.

There was mention of a study about why some die or have a very bad encounter with it. It said there was a Chinese (IIRC) study coming up with data showing that those with O blood types were less likely to have extreme symptoms. It was the other blood types that get the worst cases of it.

I'm sure glad to hear that, since I'm O positive.:laughing: Of course I don't put much faith in such studies. And I'm sure I've posted before that when I donated blood, they used to have all my records marked "Rare Donor" or some such, and they'd periodically call me on the phone to tell me they sure did need my type blood. They told me I had certain "antigens" whatever that is, that meant I was a "universal donor" that my blood was good even for babies.

Happy Fathers Day to all Fathers

I'll second all the above comments except one;
even though the lawn needs to be mowed I am hoping for some light storms or showers for this region,
corn is curling, no second cutting is growing, new seedings are burning down, chemical applications are losing all effectiveness.

Happy Fathers Day to all the good Dads out there. To all the deadbeat dads, get your heads on straight.
(No deadbeats that I know of here).

David, sorry about your overstay, but glad you're focused on Sophie's outcome.

I知 not even going to try to catch up, just let me say Happy Father痴 Day to all of you.
Hope your weekend is going well and you enjoy your day.
God bless.
Hope you are doing well Randy.

Thank you for your gift of life to humanity.

My mom gave over 2 gallons. I used to wonder if giving so much blood might be detrimental to her at life's end? She is going to be 91 August 5th, and she still drives.

Drew, I can tell by your writings that you are getting better day by day. Glad your helpful friends are getting to benefit.

Buppies, how are you feeling? I over worry about things. Lose way too much sleep. Not good.

Billy, hope coco is getting better.

Lou, we need rain badly. Been a long time since any significant. I remember hoping that tropical storm would come over us that long ago...

Prayers for our team.

My daughter is going to play her guitar and sing in church today. She's shy about singing.

Billy, my 90 yo mom is venturing out for hair appts. I told her to stay in and use curbside service.

Boy, I sure hope it ain't detrimental. I guess the last pin they gave me was for having donated 7 gallons. Of course a number of times, I did the "double red" donation and that counted as two pints instead of one. However, I haven't donated blood since 1/28/2016. I guess I ought to check and see if they still want old folks' blood.:laughing: I did, years ago, ask them to quit calling me, after one call came on my cell phone when I was out in the middle of the lake fishing, and I think 2 calls came while I was driving, and unlike a lot of people, I DO NOT answer my cell phone when I'm driving. I wait until I find a safe place to stop, then check to see if it was a call that I want to return.
