I largest fish Ive caught was a halibut up here and it was only 90lbs. I we dippnetting for Copper River Reds (sockeye salmon) on Tuesday and we ended up with 36 fish. These fish are sold for as little as $20/lbs up to $50/lbs. You do the math. What a great time and a lot of hard work. As for you Janice, I totally hear what you are saying about being ask about the weather all the flippin' time. I just smile and tell them, I'll try to feed the weather mouse a little bit more to get the wheel spinning again. That usually gets a smile. But what are we gonna do? Check out this artical. http://www.elmendorf.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123154964 That's me! Take care Hey Tony great fish story. I largest fish Ive caught was a halibut up here and it was only 90lbs.

Go figure! Perhaps JD demanded the rain to stop directly in Ottawa itself. Some 30-35 thousand people went to Parliament Hill to take in the celebrations, speechs, preformances. In Kandahar Afghanistan the men and women played some good old fashioned ball hockey while sipping some Tim Horton's coffee and donuts. A great day for Canada and Canadians no matter where they may live, all Canadians feel the beat of the Maple leaf in their hearts.

A strong thunderstorm rolled through last night...w/heavy rain and wind. Lightning struck my brother's house and caught their dryer on fire, and the dryer wasn't even on. He said it burnt several wires up. So he is working on getting that situation fixed today. I'm just glad they were awake and realized something was burning, and put the fire out quickly. Happy Birthday Canada! :) Have a great day everybody, Deb...for some reason it feels like a Friday??? Good Afternoon All,

I'm glad you responded earlier so I didn't wind up talking to myself. I hope you get some rain for your crispy grass! I'm glad I don't live in an area that gets long stretches of hot, hot weather. We have some hot stretches but nothing like triple digit temperatures for days on end. Hang in there! Margie Hey Gina,

Sorry to hear about your library woes. People just think, it's a library, throw up some bookshelves, you're done. While I was a library volunteer in a local middle school a new library was built as an addition to the school. The librarian was fortunately able to give her input from the beginning as the plans were drawn up by the architect and during the entire process, which resulted in a beautiful, well-organized space. It was a very enjoyable place to work. One of my favorite things was a built in viewing screen that came out of the ceiling with the flip of a switch on the wall. It always impressed the 6th graders! So, anyway, I understand your frustration - good luck getting those medical tomes on shelves meant for paperback novels!! :O I'll give everyone three guesses what the weather is like here in San Antonio . . . and the first two don't count!! Actually, they are say we might get a thunderstorm and brief cooling today, although the triple digit highs are still forecast for the week. We'd appreciate the rain on our crispy grass.

Janice, I hope you have fun celebrating with your little guy. We have beautiful sunshine this morning but there is a chance of showers in the forecast for today. Yesterday was interesting. We had a little rain as I headed to the new hospital for my tour. Well, right after I got inside the office building where our group got together, the skies opened up and we got over 3/10 in. of rain in a short period of time. All I can say is that I'm glad I had sneakers on. We couldn't get in the entrance we planned on going in because of high water so we took a side door which landed us in a stairwell. It was rather interesting when we couldn't figure out how to get out of the ICU area! Poor Jo got disoriented with all the construction but when we walked by some windows we were able to signal one of our guys and he was able to come up to rescue us. They better put plenty of signs up to direct people once the construction is done. I found out none of the shelves are right where the "library" is supposed to be in the physician lounge. I was promised that our maintenance guys would take care of that once the major construction is finished. Whoever designed that obviously had never been in a library and the slanted shelves are too shallow and the flat shelves are too close together. They got it all wrong! Oh well, as long as they fix it I'll be happy. Now I'm running out of room so I'll wish everyone a great day! Margie Good morning everyone,

Happy Canada Day to Janice and Peter! Janice, I hope you have fun celebrating with your little guy.

Being the old lech that I am, I thoroughly enjoyed both.

Its officially CANADA DAY as JD says, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA. :) You don’t look a day over a 100. :)

Tuesday I enjoyed the rain off and on, didn’t do any bike riding.

If we have a nice day later today, I might go look at some fireworks if it’s not raining.
