It seems that a certain thread in the general TCL section has drawn in all the crazies. Their arguments are senseless and their opinions are just that, opinions, not at all based upon fact. It's truly sad to witness such a lack of faith as that.

The thread was created for that purpose. You know it was they way the first post was written.
Then I can't believe the one guy is a Pastor? He is one of the reasons we view his synod the way we do.

Glad to have shared some of the rain 
At the moment, it is 63 degrees and 94% humidity.
Will be spending some of the morning with a friend.

63 degrees with 94% humidity??? Yikes. The first number sounds good...the second, not so good!
It's been raining here on and off all day with high humidity. I've been doing chores around the house but honestly I don't feel like doing anything today! Not even hop on the bike.

Well, in a few hours, the humidity has dropped to an acceptable level. It is now 77 degrees a and 54% humidity. Much better and much nicer out.

I had to come to Texas to cool off. It was warmer in NJ this morning than it was in Houston this afternoon. Go figure.

I was shocked at how much colder it was in Ethiopia than in St. Louis. The temp would get to about 80, and then at 2:00 every day it would rain and then the temperature would drop to the 50s. I wore jackets more often than not.

Gotta love the combination of tropical latitude and high elevation. I think San Jose, Costa Rica would be a great place to live - 60 to 80 degrees year round.

Things have been a bit busy around here lately. We had a special event here a few weeks ago. Penny delivered twins! A buck and a doe.
Sadly, the buck only lived a day and a half. Penny has mastitis and it was painful for the kids to nurse, so she wouldn't let them. Seems the buck was a bit more insistant and Penny trampled him to death two Sundays ago. I came home to a dead buck and a little doeling that was dying of starvation. Thus, a battle royale ensued with Penny and I was able to force her to let the doeling nurse.
Part of the problem was the quantity of milk Penny's udders had produced. They looked like two gallon milk jugs suspended in a rubber bag. Poor thing could hardly walk. Milking her was a real fight, I can tell you. She would kick, strike and bite whatever she could reach. Suffice it to say, none of the milk that was produced made it into the fridge. She would kick over the bowl constantly. Once the volume was reduced, she got a lot better as it didn't hurt so much. Penny still has to be restrained, but she at least doesn't fight so much.
I was able to beg a Stanchon from a neighbor then (goat) milk and colostrum from another. Hence, the Doeling survived. Mum is on Penecilin (for the Mastitis infection), so little Turtle has to be hand fed. Thus, she's very people oriented.
LOL, as if this wasn't enough, I was also in the middle of thoroughly cleaning out the house for possibly the first time in recent memory and re-assembling one of my cars! Oi, vay! As they say, 'when it rains it pours,' you know?
Here's a few pics of the new little sweetie, and sorry about the long dissertation:
With Momma at a few days old.
I took these two this morning. She's named after the Tortise-shell markings on her legs.

Hi Stude.....I was about to come on here and send you a PM, as I had not seen you around for such a long time....and there you were! Welcome back.
The baby goat is very cute, and I like the name. I used to feed baby calves when I was a kid. Oh they were so dumb to train to drink. Nothing dumber than a holstein calf. Dairy calves get taken away from their mothers just a few hours after birth. So the training was all on my shoulders. Some days I just wasn't up to the task!

I'll try. They stuck us at the Hyatt Downtown. Nice hotel, but everything's expensive and it's about 10 blocks from the GRB center.
We get to the meat of things tomorrow morning.
