Mosquito Pools Test Postive for West Nile

"Well CRAP!" or "Just when you thought it was safe to mow the yard......." From: WKRC, Channel 12 - LAST UPDATE: 8/4/2003 6:41:32 PM Mosquito pools off Kellogg Avenue in Anderson Township have tested positive for the virus. Earlier this summer a dead Blue Jay found at Salem and Four Mile Roads also tested positive for West Nile. Health Department officials said they've contacted community leaders in Anderson Township and are taking several steps to remove the risk to humans. It Figures. (Incidently, the people on the newscast, specifically said "Kellogg and Eight Mile Road" last night with a map)

Commercial Drivers License (CDL) Class B

I picked up a temp license for a CDL today. I was told that this will help me in possibily getting a job with Hamilton County. They will do the training if I get the written test completed. Plus, they want it on my resume when I hand it in tomorrow. 0%

The Buddhist Temple and the fax machine?

I just spoke to Hemaratne (HB) and now I know what the Monks said on my voicemail. Apparently they purchased a new fax machine and can't get it to work correctly. I will go over and fix it tomorrow. I am supposed to meet Myles for lunch at noon so I will get there after that. Should take about 15 minutes to fix. 0%

Fast and Testimony day.

We attended Sacrament and it was not because we had to be out and about for the open house. It was "Fast and Testimony day". That always makes for a different mood afterwards.

Open house was a bust

I received a voicemail from Mr. Ackermann. Apparently no one showed up for the open house Sunday. I guess that is to be expected. It was a rather hot and complacent kinda day. Sunny and cloudy, with a cool breeze. Lounging weather.

Another time to mow.

I just quickly mowed half the yard (in 90 minutes). It is easy when your doing about 35 down the straight areas like the lower meadow. The wet parts are still difficult to get through. The rain the last two days are making it difficult. That, and I miss Bree and the kids. :)

Now that is a great "one-liner"!

I know this is a story, but I liked it anyway. At a cocktail reception, my friend found himself in a small group that included an admiral from each of the two navies. The French admiral started complaining that whereas Europeans learned many languages, Americans only learned English. He then asked, "Why is it that we have to speak English in these conferences rather than you have to speak French?" Without even hesitating, the American admiral replied, "Maybe it is because we arranged it so that you did not have to learn to speak German." The group became silent.

The rain keeps coming.

At this rate, I will not be able to mow until it is waist deep again. This sucks. An hour job turns into a 6 hour job because of moisture. Crap. 20%

Nothing much happened this day in history

So, in keeping with the idea, I didn't do much more than laundry and dishes. I also did some job searching but nothing local was found. I have to go back to H&R Block on Tuesday with more paperwork. I am glad that this is almost over. I hate paying to get my taxes done. This is why I also would go for a flat-tax or something that would be more equal. Everyone pays the same percentage. No exclusions, exceptions, (or rebates). 20%

What am I doing?

Everyone stop asking me what I have scheduled and look at my calendar. It's in the left frame, (Look on the left side of the page silly) and it says "My Calendar". Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! 10%
