Well, that Happy Independence Day was my post.  I don't know what happened to my name.  Sorry, but I hope everyone is having a great day.

A Happy Fourth of July to all.  I'm hoping I get to watch "1776", one of my favorite musicals.  Everyone be safe!

John, I hid my jewelry recently and can't find it.  However, I am hopeful that I will stumble across it in some housecleaning frenzy.  Unfortunately, those don't come along all that often.

Memo To S. Reeves:  Thanks for the tip about the guys in the U.K. who discovered 50,000 Iron Age coins with their metal detectors. Too bad the USA doesn't have that same rich history.

My metal detecting club was discussing this recent story about "buried treasure" in Florida. I think the lesson to the story is to have a small backyard if you're going to imitate this lady:

On a similar note, just today our club was contacted by a woman who lives in The Heights area of Houston. She claims she has lost a bag she hid in her home. The bag contained jewelry and watches. Her best guess is that maybe it is in the insulation in the attic, but could be hidden in one of the walls. She thinks someone with a metal detector might locate it. So far none of the members have volunteered.

Lynell,  Thanks for posting the obit for Mrs. Vessels. By coincidence the obit for Glenn Linden, an S.M.U. professor, and a close friend of ours was also published.   My condolences to Jerry and Pat and their family.

I was sad to see the online obituary for SOC '61 friend Charles Wayne Liles, who passed away in Houston on March 13, 2012.  Charles lived on Idaho, next door to my friend Sandy Hentchel.

I believe this is a link to Mrs. Vessels' notice in today's paper.

Jerry Vessels' mother died last night. There will  not be a family visitation. The funeral will be Thursday but do not know any details now. They are being worked out. Please be in prayer for this family - so much to deal with.

Charlotte, I wonder if they didn't plan to make Savannah Guthrie or Natalie Morales the morning anchor all along. The ratings dropped but the Today Show is still number one.  Ann Curry handled the situation with grace, dignity and like the lady she is. Even though you could tell she was terribly hurt by the way she was treated.

My cousin is still safe and so is the beautiful Biltmore Hotel.  My cous is up hill from the hotel.

John, I don't watch silly shows...just silly or feel good movies like Salmon Fishing in Yemen....great movie if you have a chance to see it.  TV has gone away for me...except for Netflix....I read where the notorious Today show is licking their wounds of not being number one.  Firing one anchor for a looker will help????....shame shame.....Those morning veriety shows try to call themselves morning news shows...ahem!  Puleeze!

Did anyone watch Charlie Sheen's new show last night ("Anger Management")? I had the feeling I'd seen it before only now Jake is a girl and a black neighbor has replaced his brother Allen.

Charlotte, I heard that 100's of houses were lost in Colorado, Springs.  Did your cousin loose her house?  Does any one know if the fire effected the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs?

Thanks, Charlotte for the comments to Barry..
I have a cousin who lives in Denver. Don't know if there is a threat close to his house. He'll be in Ft. Worth for a week. His older brother died yesterday.. James Neal 'Corky' Gammon.  I'll be in Ft. Worth by July 4th or at least I hope so...

One summer we were in Taos when the wild fires were burning out of control.  Our motel was filled with firemen who spent everyday going out and fighting the blaze.  I couldn't breathe and my eyes were red and burning.  I felt sorry for the town people who had been exposed to the smoke for days.  We had to drive back to Albuquerque to avoid the smoke.  All I can say is I would avoid Colorado for a vacation this year.

My cousins live near the old Biltmore Hotel and I think I will hear quickly if they are threatened since the Biltmore is such a land mark.

The whole state of Colorado is in a draught situation and the high winds are keeping everything so dry dry dry. 

I am thankful that rains have quenched the thirst of my little ranchett near Brenham and has replentished the ponds.  We may get two or three cuttings of hay this year.  Last year Texas was buying hay from Colorado....wonder if it will be the other way around this year?

Charlotte, I have many friends in that area. So far, all are safe. Five have been forced to evacuate, and one has lost her house. It is very similar to Bastrop!

Barry...stop yourself....and please....NO ONE respond.  Go to FB to do this discussion.  We all have opinions, but PULEEEEZ keep it off this GB. 

I am worried about the fires in CO.  My cousins live in Colorado Springs and so far they are safe, but soooo many people there have lost everything.  It reminds me of Bastrop last year.

Kathleen:

I have become a kinder, gentler person and will not respond to your last post in a "political" way.  Well, so much for that idea.  I agree that the EPA, FDA and labor unions were founded for the common good, but they have run amuck. The EPA is controlling things that they have no constitutional power to control.  Have you heard that they are considering the control of the amount of "dust" that farmers generate?  This is just one example of the crazy ideas that they come up with. 

Wonder why other countries have access to "miracle" drugs years before we do?  The FDA causes delays in the introduction of new, life saving drugs in the US and drives up the cost.  Have you compared the cost of common drugs in the US, Canada and Mexico?  Pharmacutical companies often sell drugs in other countries for years before they can sell them in the US. 

Labor unions improved the working conditions of countless workers in their early years, but today they exist mainly to make labor union bosses rich and to exert political power that may or may not agree with their rank and file members.  And, most of their contracts make it impossible for companies to compete with non-union companies or to even survive.

Now, that wasn't so bad was it?
