Rain and wind up here in Lake Tahoe and Truckee. You can feel Autumn in the Air. They were calling for a light dusting of snow above 7000 feet and I am at 6500' hoping to finish up on Friday and get back home. No chains for the company 10 wheeler and backhoe trailer.

Wayne, the last couple days we had some on-and-off rain and wind but nothing serious. Summer's humidity is still hanging on. Sure would be nice to get some weather from the north. Jo and I are doing well. Our best to you and Vi.

HARRY, that storm coming up the east, is it going to cause you any bad weather, we sure are having our share of bad weather here this year.  All over the world.  I don't think we have had all of this in a long time. Sure don't need any more, that is for sure.  Hope you had a good birthday, tell Jo that we send our best.

I am taking Lisinoprilm also ! Now the big thing is they want to get everyone on Statin for fat in the blood. They put me on it and I ended up in the ER and proceeded to have a $5000. Check up on my heart. Thought it was the big one. Heart is fine they said. Nurse told me some people systems cannot handle the Statin. If what you have does not kill you . The cure will!

Anyone into Ken Burn's new 18 hour documentary Viet-Nam ? First hour & half last night, also showing tonight.
My wife's next door neighbor Dewight Birdwell will be part of this film before it is over. Birdwell was buddies with her brothers and was in and out of their home before he was drafted into the military.
Birdwell is the highest decorated person from our area in the Viet-Nam war. DSC, Silver Star and more than one Bronse Stars.
After his service Birdwell went to school and become a lawyer. He practice's Real Estate Law and resides in Oklahoma city.
Birdwell is a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.

He did okay for a rural boy from the hills whose father had a old rig who drilled water wells. That old rig didn't really drill, it punch them.
