Weather, lunch, and fire

Highs from 88-80 predicted for the next seven days. It's WAY too early for temperatures that high. John's doing the happy dance, and I'm sulking. I guess the a/c will be turned on this week. A sudden, strong, and thankfully brief line of thunderstorms went through late this afternoon. Then it was gone, and the sun came back out.

The Thursday lunch bunch went to a different location today. The food was great - I got a veggie plate (fried green tomatoes, pinto beans, turnip greens, potato salad, and a big cornbread pancake. It doesn't get any better than that! But it was terribly noisy, making conversation impossible with anybody except the person sitting next to you. And, since the whole reason for this group is the conversation, I don't guess we'll stay there.

We got haircuts this afternoon, too - and that always makes us feel good.

Remember the big fire last week at the Dollar General store? The fire was started by a 9-year-old who was angry at his mother. He was caught last night lighting a match near the gas pumps at a convenience store across the street from the previous fire. This is a seriously disturbed boy - to say nothing about his parental situation.
