Dothan, where my hotel is, is in Central time. The bank where I'm working - in Blakely, Georgia -- is across the Chatahoochee River. In Eastern time.
So I'm flip-flopping back and forth, trying to stay awake.

Fireworks
Now that its hot we turn the horses out at night and keep them in the stable during the day. So they had a chance to enjoy the neighborhood fireworks on Sunday night.
They are used to guns going off at all hours, but the whistling explosions and flashing sparklers were new. Black Cloud worked himself into a frenzy. As self-proclaimed herd leader he had to take charge and save the rest. So he kicked and bucked all over the place, running up and down along the fence line and snorting.
In his fevered imagination, he took control of the situation, scared off the intruders and led the weaklings safety.
Actually Otis and Angel were fairly calm throughout the ordeal. They seemed more apprehensive of Black Cloud than of the fireworks. Angel squealed every once in a while, probably to egg Black Cloud on. She is a bit of an instigator. Nothing to do with her gender, of course.
After a half hour they all settled down, Black Cloud no doubt under the impression that he saved the others from certain death.
I think they all forgot the whole episode by morning. They're not very patriotic.

Bear Hunting
The other night we spotted a bear across the street. I saw a snake out back. Ferocious birds try to nest in our stable.
I've decided to get a BB gun.I have the right to bear arms. For self defense.
Don't tell T or I'll get in trouble.

Charles City, Iowa
Second time here. Great town, and both restaurants are good.
Tomorrow after work I zoom up to Burnsville, MN -- just a stone's throw from the Minneapolis airport.

Fort Wayne, Indiana
I was in Warsaw for the week -- now hanging in the Fort Wayne airport waiting for my flight home. Since we had a Monday holiday I ended up behind & had to work through Friday.
So I ended up in a Holiday Inn Express near the airport last night. Not too bad, though. There was an Outback Steakhouse next door and the pillows were fluffy.
I'll get home later today, in time to drag the riding ring, whack the weeds, mow the grass, cook the dinner, walk the dog...
...it's a wonderful life!
