not dead, yet, etc. ...

   don't think I haven't noticed how inconsistent I am, regarding blog updates ...

   nope, I'm not dead, and haven't quit the blog again, anything like that ... 

   my last couple weeks have been occupied with worry over a family member ... other than sad drama, literally nothing interesting has happened with Sybil & I, and it has been so hot, I haven't left the trailer before dusk, during these last few days ...

   and, I mean HOT !!

   our weather isn't showing any sign of easing up, either, with more heat wave days ahead ...

   

      no worries, I'll still be alive & well for Opening Kickoff !

I root for 'da Bears' early, to avoid the rush ...

   by this mid-season, EVERYBODY will claim to be a 'longtime Bears fan', just watch & see ... it's gonna be a great year to be a Bears Fan, so I won't pick on the newbies too much, for jumping onboard late ... 

really poor internet strength ...

   it's been almost impossible for me to get online lately ... I have long suspected the tree growth over the years, between the tower and my campsite, has gradually blocked the signals ... after camping in this same spot for about 6 years, I am seeing the pattern ...

   this morning, it's fairly cloudy, which helped me get online, for the first time in a few days  ... AM radio transmissions are held down by heavy clouds, and tends to boost the signal ... I don't know for sure if the cellular signal is like that, but it does seem to be ... 

   it's supposed to be 100 degrees again, today, so a nice cloudy sky that holds down temps and boosts internet, sounds like a good thing ... a nice rain (with no lightning) would be VERY nice, too ...

   my internet is so weak, I am unable to post up my usual BEARS picture, so, hopefully, you've already printed one off, to admire at home ... 

   (Sybil has a framed pic of 'da Bears' in her doghouse, of course)
