volleyball went well. Word has apparently spread of our victory Friday night and tonight's opponent called in as a no-show 30 minutes out. No one bothered to tell me (captain) so I could tell team. Probably all would have been on the way anyway.

So we played four on four during our time slot which was great practice (and fun) since four of the people hadn't played.

So we are 2-0!

What's your team name? Must have missed that earlier.
 
Sets On the Beach. DH says not original enough. I see another team used Bump in the Night. I really like that.

Like this? Movie set on a beach?

Random odds and end from stuff I heard on the news.
1. Bull won a bull fight in Spain, widow is attractive.
2. Priest got busted for solicitation.
3. Dumb *** John Sears didn't have Georges contract info right on 10 pm news. Lazy *** poor job of reporting.
 
In law extended family member has received 6.5 inches of rain today at their cabin near Aitkin, MN. That is a lot of water.

Yikes, explains all of the multi-county flash flood warnings up there. Your post prompted me to check the weather station at Brainerd Airport, over 6 inches today.

Phones will be ringing later this week as everyone calls and blames the Corps of Engineers dam operations for high water on Cross and Gull. Ah, no people, it rained ( a lot).

And, damn, can't look at radar with surfing south to see BCC Land is getting hammered again. That's some small but intense looking ****.

Good for the bull.
2. Priest got busted for solicitation.
Sad that he struggles with his vows. IMO, no different than a married man cheating. But I do question if celibacy is an effective vow...

Not lazy. He just flat out doesn't want to say that Georges is actually on a roster when his Hawkeyes are not even sniffing the sneakers...

Won't stop raining here. We were told to be prepared for a drought. Think they gave the same advise to Noah when he was on his ark.

I always enjoy with hydrologists do the math and figure out how many gallons and what not fell over the area after stuff like that. Just an insane amount of water.

The outflow boundary is set up just west of CR...should make things interesting this afternoon.

One inch over one square mile is 17.5 million gallons.
 
My son had a doctors appointment recently. Doctors always complain about patients being late and messing up schedules. We were the first scheduled, Dr was 25 minutes late to see him.

We have regularly showed up 15 minutes early for our kids' pediatrician appointments (also first of the morning) and seen a parade of doctors coming in 5-10 minutes after the first scheduled appointments while the waiting room is full of waiting families.

That is weird. I'm not sure I've ever heard a doctor complain about a patient being late. I'm like you. I always end up waiting at a doctor's appt.

Now my dentist is another story. He only works M-TH and the last appt they take is 3:30PM. I always schedule their latest appt and you'd think the ******* world was coming to an end if I run five minutes late.

One time, I had a 3:30 appt on Thursday. They called me at 2:15 and asked if I could get there at 3:00 because they wanted to leave early. I was like, "Um, no. I'd have to leave in the next 15 minutes to make that." They ended up rescheduling me. And this was an appt that I set up 6 months in advance.
 
Anyone ever deal with plantar fasciitis? I've had a lot of pain in my feet over the last few months, hoping that maybe stretching and doing exercises for it might help.

They just got tired of you showing up 300 seconds late. Show a little respect for others, ******!

I had it once. There appeared to be no cure for it but rest. If I thought it was going away and started working out again it would flare up again. I had to rest it until I made sure it was totally gone before getting back at it. That might have been just my experience, though.

You need a new dentist.
