Today Black Beauty discovered the fish! What a fun time watching her pace around the pond, attempting to catch one of the little golden beauties (and getting her front paw wet).
Yesterday I had to rescue a fish (have you ever rescued a fish?). One of the really big Koi managed to swim into the shallows that surround the sunken pond and was flopping noisily. I had to scoop it back into the main stream (so to speak).
Now to the topic at hand - FALL! It is about noon here in south-central Illinois and today (I have checked three calendars to ensure accuracy) is JULY 17! The temperature is now 67 degrees Fahrenheit. There is a good breeze from the north-northwest. Good day for being outside - like taking a run on the country roads (or even sitting on a mower riding around the yard).
Job statistics have been met for this week (in fact, a recruiter/contracting firm just called with a couple potentials - will have to put on the sheet for next week). Blog is now updated (I think I am almost back on track), and I hope to get some writing done.
Other major achievements: ordered "high-speed" Internet connect for new desktop, should be installed on Monday, reduced phone bill by almost $20/month by revising service, and about to review the TV situation for additional reduction in cost.
Did I mention that FALL is my FAVORITE season? That said, it is a very good day here.
"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air." - Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 - 1864)

That's not Fringin fall! It is winter time! Makes me want to run to my closet for a sweater or a jacket. I say take the bike for a ride. You can go faster and further and as I have discovered you have plenty of low traffic roads to choose from:). High speed internet! What a concept! Do you folks in the great white north have bundle packages that include cable, internet, and phone all for one low price:). Have a great day!
No cable - too far outside of anywhere. Reduced TV bill today by ~$13/month. I am happy. Phone will be reduced by another $20/month (or so). This should make up for the $5/mo increase for the Internet. Good trade.
