The love of my life has arrived home and is now asleep in bed!  Strange, but Boots is still down with me, guarding my rear flank.  I was so sure that he would be off to bed with Susan, once he had his first breakfast.  Especially when she gave him a midnight snack, upon her arrival last night.  I guess Boots is showing us he cannot be bribed.  Ya, right!  She should have used his cat treats, instead of regular food.
  After opening the two blinds for Boots to guard our yard, I noticed the weatherman had it wrong again, it's still overcast and threatening to rain outside.  So once again I brought up the forecast on my i Phone, and to my amazement (sarcasm) it had changed, another day of rain!  Previously on this channel, as late as midnight last night, it was supposed to be sunny all day today.  How could we get It so wrong?  We have the most advanced equipment that money can buy.  Which in turn produces computer generated models, and we still get the weather wrong.  This just proves to me that all this equipment does not replace the men and women on the ground, but are an aid to improve their productivity and skill level.  When will politicians figure this out!
  At times I think our forecasting skills are even worse at predicting the weather than they used to be.  We did a little experiment up here at the lake.  From early May until the July long weekend.  I took data from several sources, including the intensity of my headaches.  I was far more accurate at predicting the weather than what was provided by environment canada on the iPhone.  And it is updated regularly.  Possibly the government should have kept more localized weather people in the west, rather than having all of western Canada's weather coming from Winnipeg.  After all weather patterns do travel from west to east, not east to west.  Something our current government could rectify.  Yes let's all hed for the hills because someone is looking at a computer screen in Winnipeg, that says Saskatoon is getting the storm of the century. And we are all looking at each other and saying, there must be another Saskatoon, because it just isn't happening here!
  So today it look's like our deck relaxation time will be spent indoors.  I think I will flip some burgers on the barbecue, for a late lunch and then we can eat them indoors.  Not sure what the rest of the day might bring, that's what playing it by ear is all about or what we like to call it around here Building the Simple life....................................
