Terreiro

The drag of winter has me thinking about our summer vacation, I know the wife and kids will want to go some place crowed and filled with the scent of humanity. I thus will opt for a secluded cabin with a fly fishing stream close by. Of course everyone knows where I will wind up this summer. In a crowd of people seeking the same thing that I am a clover filled field with running water close by. Looks like Disney will win again.

It is never to cold to fish, I mean folks cut holes in the ice to go ice fishing. I am not that much an avid fisherman I guess, but I will go out when it is snowing and try to catch a few. Right now is the perfect time to go fishing and one thing I love is that many of the casual fishermen and women do not do out after the last of September and that leaves a lot more room on the lake for the rest of us. Today it is 47 degrees and I might have the lake to myself, I love this time of year. The fish are biting good right now too and that is a bonus.

Hurricane Ike looks like a huge storm that could cause havoc to the oil supply chain. If a lot of damage is brought to the oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico the price of gasoline here in America could shoot up close to $5.00 a gallon. Plus add in that the refineries near Houston could be affected thus driving up the price of gasoline and heating oil this fall. Let us hope that Hurricane Ike just dances around over open water and does as little damage as possible.

Today we had a very nice summer storm, we were getting pretty dry and needed some rain well we got a bunch today and it was accompanied by a lot of thunder and lightning, some hit very close to our house but we never lost power, one good thing about living so close to the airport, they get our power back on very quick when it does go out. Diva our smallest and youngest dog was very unhappy with the thunder, shaking and wanting to be held she is pretty fearless but today she really was the baby of our family.

During the summer months I try harder to drink more water, it keeps my hydrated and makes me feel better at the same time. I cut down on the sodas and only try to drink water and juices, I do not always keep to this regime but I try. I also try to eat more salads and stuff not as filling in the summer. Again I do not keep to this as well as I should but I try. We walk the dogs early in the morning and late at night to beat the heat as much as we can. Just remember it is only 3 more month until winter then we can complain about the cold and not worry about the heat as much.
