I had to take half a day off yesterday to go to traffic court with Jacob. He got a ticket for holding his phone while driving. He swears he wasn't using it, but he was spotted holding it by a policeman. $135 later, I think he's learned his lesson.

Yep, you don't have to be using it, just holding it is enough for a ticket. We will be traversing your fair state on Friday & Saturday on our way to Disney World. I'll need to remind DH & BIL about that law.
 
Well we had about 2 minutes of rain today! We were right on the edge again!! Go figure!

Have a great evening MMC!!!
 
Good evening all

Not much to report today. I spent the first few hours of the day conducting principal interviews for my high school. That is a tiring process.

Beyond that, the day has sped by. My wife is hard at work sewing costumes for PopCon.

It is raining like crazy out at the moment. I am trying to get the energy to do something... anything.... but just feeling tired this evening.
 
Has anyone been keeping up with the news on the Hawaiian Volcano?

I've been watching the volcanic activity on the USGS website and then opening up Google Earth Pro and comparing the two. Before last night, I believe there was like 117 structures destroyed to then, then last night, lava swept across an area called Vacationland and it's adjoining Bay, they were both wiped off the face of the Earth. They say hundreds of homes were destroyed in just one night, a lake completely dried up and a Bay, completely filled up and destroyed. The pictures are mine blowing and that thing is still spewing lava. I feel so bad for all those poor people that lost their homes and business.

Having adopted ohana on the Big Island (Gloria), I’ve been keeping a close eye on the situation. Only about 10 square miles of the island are directly affected; southern and western areas are somewhat affected with air quality problems. Life is normal for most residents. But in the area where the lava is actually flowing, buildings, highways, everything in its path is destroyed. The largest lake on the island evaporated in just a few hours after lava flowed into it. The power of nature is truly awesome. Something like 7.7 square miles have been covered by new lava flow since May 4.

When you visit the island, you realize that most of the ground you walk on is ancient hardened lava. It’s hard to imagine, in a way, but also easy, considering what’s happening now.

Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!

It's been another crazy-busy weekend and Monday, so I'm just now getting a chance to post.

I had to take half a day off yesterday to go to traffic court with Jacob. He got a ticket for holding his phone while driving. He swears he wasn't using it, but he was spotted holding it by a policeman. $135 later, I think he's learned his lesson.

I'm leaving for another trade show today, back on Friday.

I hope y'all have a great day! :D

a friend of mine had her licence taken away for 30 days plus a $499 fine when she got caught texting while driving. She now keeps her phone in her purse.
Have fun at the trade show !

I hope your son feels better soon. If you want him to feel a little bit better, tell him this story; I had (2) impacted wisdom teeth cut and pulled when I was on a ship, half-way crossing the Atlantic Ocean, while I was in the navy. That dentist, was in my mouth cutting while the ship was rocking and a rolling!!

Ohhhhh man, I'll never forget, the ship rocking and rolling, nasty blood taste in my mouth, fighting an infection - not cool!

just being on a ship would be enough to get me sick never mind the dentist thing ! I will pass the story of your bravery on to him .
 
Happy Pines Day! Hope we all can enjoy today. Looks like we'll have a nice day here. The days we don't get any rain all day are rare. We had showers on Tuesday like we did on Monday. Stayed 2 hours late at work yesterday but it's all good cause I only have a 3 day week next week. Have a great one today!
 
Good Morning MMC !

very chilly at only 7c (44f) here this morning....the brrrrs came early this year !

My son has been invited to be on our local radio on Thursday morning to promote speed stacking. He is so excited ! You can go on line and listen at 9am at 107.7 FM (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=229060673782438&ref=br_rs )

But I see by my clock I must leave for work in a few minutes, so I hope you all have a fantastic day !!
