Heart aching
Such a day, a bit cooler than yesterday, only 83; it gives us hope for a few more tomatoes to ripen in time. Saw a delicious-sounding recipe for green tomato soup, which appeals to me much more than fried green tomatoes or pickled ones.
We get in our walks, and all is well. We caught the last quarter of a hard-fought football game, and I was disgusted to hear the freshman quarterback of the winning team blathering on like this:"First, I gotta say, 'Praise God'!" Then more about his wonderful team, and then more praise gods spewed out. Guess his parents brainwashed this little 18 or 19 year old golden boy real good. What if he'd lost? Would he have thought god hated him, or that evil was at work? Politics and religion mixed are terrible, but sports and religion stink, too.

Religion just plain stinks. Monotheism is the worst fiction ever.
We're up in Grass Valley and had the most wonderful night of rain. Could practically hear the earth drinking.
I saw your post; what a cool-sounding area!
