I had a somewhat restless/wakeful non-sleep a few days ago, and
that was around the time of the full moon. I doubt that the
full was the cause and effect, but thinking of that folklore
didn't help either. I am sure something else was "off" or
different to make sleep no happening - maybe it was the
culmination of too many non-decaf coffees, or cheating with
breads or sugar from candies that I was having around that
time.

Sleep and I have a loving relationship.

But, L. Armclock and N. Somnia are trying to break us up...the jealous whores!! <G>

To make matters worse, earlier today...my headset mic, the sound card,
the ThumbDV, and the BlueDV program (all that I do D-Star with), decided
to join my web browsers, and all crapped out.

So, I'm off the air, net wise, until further notice. I uninstalled
Firefox, Opera, and Chrome...but was able to get Chrome back on (I
didn't want to use Edge).

If that wasn't enough, I likely am going to have to sell my car within
2 weeks to pay some bills.

I was up at 4 this morning, while I was asleep I thought I heard the
old broken doorbell ring, then I wondered if it was a dream or if I
actually heard it. But I didn't feel like getting up to go look. And if
it was real important they would have knocked on the door.

Glad to know I am not the only person that hits the grocery store early
on Sunday morning. Seems like the best time to go to avoid most
peoples. Except I can't buy beer on Sundays till after 12 noon.

I generally do not like going on Sunday myself, much prefering Saturday
morning (even less people). However, I am at the mercy of my ride since bus service is nearly non-existant after 6 PM weekdays or on weekends at all.

It's mixed here. The building I am are all one-bedroom apartments but there
is a standalone building behind me with two two-bedroom apartments.

Usually everyone is too hung over or outside to care about shopping. Though
I am not an early riser normally, I will make an exception to be able to
shop in peace. Besides, since a lot of stores in my area either have one
day set aside or everyday at an early time for "seniors and vunerable
people" to shop in peace so once I get a car, I will start doing that.

As I have aged, I have started to have panic attacks in crowds (I found out only recently that panic attacks run in my mother's side of my family; nice
to know after twenty years of suffering with them) so I try very hard to
avoid crowds these days.

I am not sure if we had that hear, but it would be a good idea, even
now after the pandemic is settling down. Give people that need more
time to shop and look around time for themselves with people rushing
them and things like that.

I will admit, I am in a similar situation, not sure if it is age or
what. Not crowds, but any significant medical issue has spawned panic
attacks in me. I had a really bad thigh cramp one night that started an
attack and when I was passing a kidney stone, I had a couple of them.
At first I didn't know what was going on, but my ex-wife recognized it
and told me.

I went through last summer with an A/C that would lose all of it's refrigerant within a day or so of being charged. Was going to have it fixed before this summer, but then I ended up selling that car and buying another one (which the A/C works VERY WELL in.)

I work overnight, but lately it's been plenty hot during the drive to work and home again after work.

Autumn is fine until rains start. Then the pastures get flooded and they are stuck in the barn for longer.

Hello Arelor,

Thursday July 28 2022 07:51, you wrote to me:

Autumn is fine until rains start. Then the pastures get flooded and
they are stuck in the barn for longer.

Areas just north of me in Virginia received eight inches (20.3 cm) of rain overnight. Here, we can get heavy rains any time of the year and often do!

From the US National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland, in today's national short-term weather discussion:

"The second half of the week continues to be headlined by a seemingly never ending fire hose of monsoonal and Gulf of Mexico moisture that is
producing a conveyor belt of heavy rain and thunderstorms from the
Southwest to the central Appalachians. After multiple days worth of heavy rainfall in parts of the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys and central Appalachians,
the prospect of additional heavy rain and thunderstorms makes these
regions more vulnerable to flash flooding, as well as rising creeks,
streams, and rivers. The steady onslaught of rich atmospheric moisture and potential for training thunderstorms makes it likely that additional flash flooding is anticipated in these areas. As a result, a Moderate Risk
(threat level 3/4) is in place for eastern Kentucky, southern West
Virginia, and far southwest Virginia. It is here where flash flooding is
not only likely to unfold at times today, but flash flooding could be significant to even life-threatening in spots. The threat for flash
flooding extends as far west as the Middle Mississippi Valley and as far
east as the central Appalachians where Excessive Rainfall rates may lead
to flash flooding in these areas as well. By Friday, a cold front
approaching from the north will push this conveyor belt of rain and thunderstorms a little farther south into the heart of the Mid-South, but
parts of West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, and southwest Virginia remain
under a Moderate Risk for flash flooding."

Luckily I am just south of SW Virginia and in a much lower risk area.

That looks bad enough.

The problem I have around here is that whatever rains takes long to disappear, so if an area gets covered in water it takes ages for it to evaporate. For a pasture area, it means the place is unusable for quite a while. You cannot take the horses to wet pasture because they stomp the grass into a mush and ruin it, so even if it is no longer flooded, as long as the soil is too wet, it is a no go.

We have that problem around here with an above-ground water table and hard-packed rocky clay soil. Some places stay flooded for months
during the rainy season. Heck, at my parents' place, I remember in
January 2019 the creek rose eight feet above its flood level and made
everyone go 10 miles out of the way to get to town...except me. I
drove ovwer the little flooded bridge in my 4WD Pathfinder. :D

The good thing is that the engine is a V6 from an '88 S10 and has the
mounting bracket for an A/C compressor and the additional space on the
pulleys for A/C. I will eventually get one of those kits when I can afford
it and have another vehicle to drive.

Hello Arelor,

I like summer, because grass gets tall and horses love it, and you get
to see foals running around playing their silly games.

Here in the US South, thanks to a massive natural tropical maritime air mass that hangs out in the Gulf of Mexico that constantly blows humid air, it's miserable due to high humidity even here in the Appalachian Mountains.

Our local Koppen climate classification is "humid subtropical climate" but we are right next to an "oceanic climate" and a "humid continental mild summer, weat all year" climate so we always are damp around these parts.

It sounds like the sort of place where grass grows really tall so foals get to grow big and strong playing silly foal games.

I believe most of Kentucky is in the same climate classification but yes, horses do like it here I'd suppose.

I should go visit. A friend used to tell me it is the land of Corn, Bourbon, Horses and Firearms. What's it not to like?

I think most of it is also, and it is certainly horse country.

It used to also be a land of tobacco. Not so much for several years.
I have traveled through Indiana and Illinois enough to know you will find a
lot more corn there than here, but you can find it easy enough if that is important. :)
