What a Summer 2012, or How Those Planets Are Aligned!

Scorching hot most of the summer. Farming has not been fun. Anxiety about our once a year paycheck sitting out there in the droughted fields. Rain has been rare and welcomed with hope and then disappointment at the inadequacy of the amount. Harvest is starting and we will see what we get. Had to laugh about the teacher's strike in Chicago, no such deal for us on the farm. Better to have insurance this year. Enjoyed watching the eclipse events this year. Great skyscapes.

Hope everyone has fun at the LAN Halo 4 launch party. Wish I was able to attend but not this year. Bought a T-shirt. Don't really know how I could pick up my new Halo 4 console on launch day....better to stay home and go get it from Gamestop. It is looking really sweet. My Gears of War SE cracked my Skyrim disk clean through. Sent it in on warranty and got it back in about 9-10 days. Pre-ordered the new console the day it busted the disk. New disk drive was put in, I think. Whatever, it works. Paying attention to the rumors about a new 'box coming in 2014.

Gave blood a couple weeks ago and have been unenergetic since. Blah, nothing fun or inspirational to write about today. Possibly due to the political ads fatigue syndrome; am I really done with listening to them! Need to go out and ride my bicycle. All is right with the world then. Depressing news out of Egypt and Africa. Extremeists, and whats crazy is they knock everyone and cannot take any hits themselves. Feel sorry for the honest, hard working people who have some common sense and have to be embarrassed by their hate crazed countrymen. In some centuries that behavior would be a declaration of war. Never saw the you-tube vid, nor do I wanna. Hope none of my relatives put it up :)   (Of course, not). We grow food, not videos. Plus we are responsible humans.

Well, time to close. Will aim for higher quality content next blog. Told you I was a no good blogger, din I??  Aye!
