Sam... breathe deep..... breathe again..and pay CAREFUL attention to what whitey just said.....yah..we have ALL screwed up calls that went uncorrected. Seems like its time for you to learn the WHY.

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Meanwhile, Dave, here I am sitting in one of these signature white rockers at CLT and it is awfully chilly and overcast. I thought this was the south.

Yeah, I'll see what I can do. Might make the hamsters that generate our electricity run a little faster down here.

It's been cool (okay cold) in the mornings and hot in the afternoons for several days. I'm not sure what's up. I just hope it's clear down in Summerville today.

Yah, well I was hoping for a little warmth before heading over to the Ozarks where it is supposed to be a bit on the brisk side in the mornings.

Actually, last night was pretty nice. Wife and I left the windows open and didn't have to turn on the heat or AC. It was quite comfortable.

And what good does that do me, Mr. Peabody? Not like I have a WayBack Machine that will allow me to enjoy the evening

Well, not to worry, I'll be leaving in about 90 minutes, so you can bet by 11:00-11:30 it will be clear with a warm sun shining brightly.

And that normally would be me, when the Big Dawg is talking. But, you know, Mike and I could be interchangable in this case.
