Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's bright and clear, no morning mist or clouds today. It's going to go into the upper 90s, and not much chance of storms (although they will be back tomorrow). We didn't get any rain yesterday; a few storms passed through the state, but none close to me.
I didn't get as much done as I hoped last night; but a little cleaning, and straightening a few "hot spots". Today will be a bit easier at work (end of month reports are finished!), so hopefully by tonight I'll feel more productive! :)
Today is "U.S. Coast Guard Day" ... "Friendship Day" ... "Champagne Day" ... "National Chocolate Chip Day" ... "Twins Day" ... "American Family Day" ... "Colorado Day (Colorado)" ... "Independence Day (Jamaica)" ... "Youth Day (Zambia)".

"An intelligence test sometimes shows a man how smart he would have been not to have taken it. "
