          SUMMER: 5 Kalimat (17 July)          

Think cool !

Weather where I am: 101º, heat index of 113º.
Weather in Missoula, Montana: 89º. Party on Party!
Weather in Gabarone, Botswana: 57º this evening. That's more like it for me!

They came out with a list of best cities to live in ... Fort Collins (Colorado State), Colorado was #1.

But ... on a different page they had a way in which one could list one's own preferences! It then calculated a personal list of TOP 10. What it spat out at me:

10. La Crosse, Wisconsin
9. Owenboro, Kentucky
8. Eau Claire, Wisconsin
7. Rochester, Minnesota
6. Fargo, North Dakota
5. Muncie, Indiana
4. Bloomington, Illinois
3. Bismarck, North Dakota
2. Dubuque, Iowa
1. New York, New York

Now, #1 did shock me! I've never been there. Been to Bloomington ... does that count? And I have a friend in Bismarck . Iowa and Wisconsin do NOT surprize me in the least. Except for NY, NY none are on either coast, Hmmmmm.

I was actually the first to comment in a couple. That was a rush!

My BER (ask Party = blog efficiency something or other!) for August '05 through June '06 was about 95% (317/334). Since my new goal is 70%, those numbers will come down. I simply don't have computer access everyday and stressing out over a blue month (I've had 4? August, February, March, April) is way too much for me right now.

Now where are the Images and a Poem? Regular blog will be back tomorrow. Today we raided the Flower Shop and took away some end of season goodies, so my punishment is planting all week in 100 degree heat ... if it doesn't kill me first! Got mint, tomatoes, eggplant, basil, sage, and lots of flowers. I'm happy (I'm also crazy).
