We've had a normally hot summer in the Midwest, but thankfully not the extended period of 105-110 (F) temperatures that we had a couple of summers ago. As for rain, Texas has recently had flooding, while California is suffering through an historic multi-year drought. Possible disaster for a state whose principle industry is agriculture. Something like half the total vegetables the country produces and consumes comes from California's central valley. Too bad that the weather can't even itself out. ;-))Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14450203101640592230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-30812235540731153032015-08-14T21:26:55.462+01:002015-08-14T21:26:55.462+01:00Funny story!

The bottom line was he turns up or be arrested.<br /><br />The delays are down to having enough dosh to pay a top end QC. No matter who or what you are, the law applies equally. Princess Anne, if I remember rightly, got done for speeding a few years ago. OK, she can afford the fine, but there was no attempt to get out of it, something I'm sure she could have managed. <br /><br />But many of the establishment always seem to rely on their colleagues to avoid trouble.

My friend in California has had a mixed time, much more than normal, has been cool then roasting as has my friend in Arizona. My friend in Pennsylvania has had it up to the nineties and I am sure she is fed up with my whining, I am fed up with my whining about the rain. Then my friend in the Berkshires tells me the leaves are beginning to turn and they are expecting an early Fall and one heck of a winter.
