P.F. Chang's
The Mrs., and I had lunch at the new Chinese bistro today. Nice building and decent atmosphere, crappy menu selection though the hot teas were pleasant.
We both ended up ordering "Crispy Honey Chicken" ... by chance mind you ... the only item that did not have onions in or on it - I am in a hate/hate relationship with onions ... they hate me and I hate them so I always read the bill of fare and discount any items listing onions out of hand - several items had onions listed most did not, which can be deadly to those with allergies to onions.
It is the mark of a horrible cook to use onions of any kind in any dish at any time - strictly low-brow and peasant - even if one does not have allergies to them
The hot tea selection while extremely limited was pleasant enough and I had the "White Tangerine" with my meal and it complimented the entree nicely.

Jump Into It
Jump into it!
Whatever your desire is, jump into it.
Nothing is worth doing halfway.
This is not to say to throw caution to the wind or to do something harmful to yourself or others - don't be stupid about it.
Just jump into what you feel will improve you, be it school, art, theater, science, hobbies, gardening, etc.

Sunshine and Thunder
Bright sun shinning and loud thunder sounding!
Like John Fogerty asked many years ago "Have you ever seen the rain coming down on a sunny day?", I ask the same thing as I watch a thunderstorm drop torrents on my lawn in front of my house while I sit in the warm sunshine on the back porch.
This happens daily to thousands of people (there has to be an edge to the storm somewhere you know), yet it is one of those things nobody says they have witnessed first hand and express disbelief when others say the have seen it.
I have witnessed this "phenomena" (as I recount them in my head), eleven times so far in my life, from a drizzle to a deluge.
The one time that stands out in memory the most is the time I was 15 and visiting my grandparents and literally stood by the house and the left side of my body was soaked from the rain coming down and the right side was dry in the sunshine (well, sweaty ... it was better than 90F in the sun that day - the rain side felt 20 degrees cooler though).
So, how many of you have seen the rain coming down on a sunny day?

(Of course John was alluding to bombs dropped from airplanes during the Vietnam War in the lyrics to "Have you ever seen the rain ..." and "Who'll stop the rain ...", but that's beside the point.)
The Amazing Maize Maze
From August 25th to October 21st Historic Rural Hill Farm will be hosting the Amazing Maize Maze. Come and get lost wandering through a cornfield ... and no you can't walk through the rows - there aren't any.
This year the corn has been planted to be in the shape of the Liberty Bell which should make it easier than last time when it was planted to be in the shape of a cannon. Still it can be an all day experience.
Check out Historic Rural Hill to learn more about the Amazing Maize Maze and Scots heritage in the Carolinas.
It took me and the youngest grandkids 3 hours to navigate the cannon, by the way.

Morning Funny
Barely, but it is still 'morning' anytime before noon.
