Thank God, that 20 year old war has officially ended, and our troops are out of there!
It actually ended a few hours before I was expecting. I hadn't taken into account the difference in our time and Afghanistan's time. So it totally surprised me when mid afternoon our time, it was going into the 31st their time.
Now the parents of American soldiers can sleep a little better now.
And now the Taliban can go back to fighting Isis and Al-Qaeda. And any other tribe or warlord they've been fighting for 1,000 years.
Ida left a mess, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been, and the levees held. It's not going to feel good in the humidity and heat with power out for quite some time. Even much cell phone service has been knocked out. That's going to turn many people's lives upside down. Especially the ones that can't stay off those phones for 15 minutes. "What do you mean, I can't text???"
So much fun reading your posts every day and seeing what each one of you are up to.
For me, I've got a morning doctor's appointment to check out this possible urinary tract infection. It sure hurts a lot when I go to pee.
Our lawn crew's mowing day has been on Mondays for a while. So when they didn't show up all day yesterday I figured they weren't coming. Wrong. At 7:30 PM they pulled in. As it was starting to get dark. When they left here, I bet they didn't go anywhere else, except home.
