<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
We got a couple of light showers on campus yesterday, my daughter says
it POURED at McDonald's where she was working, and we got <u>not a
stinking drop</u> at my house where I was really hoping it would rain
to help revive my poor drooping plants and refill my water barrel.
Lately the drip from our air conditioner has been supplying more water
for watering my plants than my water barrel. I've kind of been
conserving the water in my barrel, not knowing when we'd get more rain
to refill it, and the air conditioner drips constantly when it's
running, so I keep a 5 gallon bucket under it to make use of the water
rather than let it run all over where it's of no use and evaporate.
Yesterday evening was wonderful though. It was at least 20 degrees
cooler than it had been for weeks before, and it really felt good to
sit outside and enjoy it without sweating to death! I could go for
some more of that!<br>
<br>
And please remember in this extreme heat, to leave plenty of fresh
water out for any pets or other animals that may have to stay outside.
With temperatures like we've been having, a source of drinking water is
a MUST, especially if you have to be out in it for any length of time. <br>
<br>
Happy Birthday wishes go out today to Mr. Roland Newby, evening
librarian and receptionist at Eastern's McAlester campus, (as well as
being a published author). Cafeteria worker, Sandra Kuykendall, is
also celebrating her birthday today, and she probably really is
celebrating, as she's off on vacation this week!<br>
<br>
