After a few cool days and some rain, we reverted back to stickiness and heat. Thankfully, it cools down a little at nighttime. Daughter #2 and Son #1 spent a few days with us, then tooled off to man a booth at the Woodland Park rock show a few hours away. They've got a few more shows to do this summer and fall. Freya stays with us while they're working, which thrills Ruby to no end.
We have a quick trip to Denver to celebrate the girls' August birthdays, as well as attend an American Society of Appraisers function. Then home to do some more work. Whoo.
Meanwhile:
A South Dakota ranching couple are arrested because they have a fence on BLM land...they can't talk to each other about it, and need separate lawyers (because they were served separately). Oh yes, and the fence has been there SINCE 1950. Hmmm...

A woman tells her neighbors she's got a realistic plastic skeleton on display. Only it's really her husband's skeleton...
VP Harris has a new campaign poster, designed by the same artist who did Obama's iconic 'Hope' poster. Makes me think of Galaxy Quest...
Unusual history tips you may never have heard of, including this one:
Are you better off now than you were, 4 years ago? (From Retireby40)
The squeegee men are back in force in New York City. (The Mayor of NY says he was once a squeegee man.) We have been engulfed by squeegee men in Denver, who don't want to take no for an answer...and it's scary.
Ancient Roman encampments...found by accident.
Dad jokes. These are terrible groaner puns...and funny!
Yes, she WAS asked...
A very funny Ryan Reynolds interview.
An American shows how she was paid thousands of airline dollar and got a luxury vacation -- by being willing to wait!
Dealing with a childhood bully decades later. Sad, but illuminating.
Are CNN -- or any networks, for that matter, objective? Obviously this audience doesn't believe it.
Who let the dogs out?
What's wrong with a simple life? Garth Brooks thinks so, in spite of his big $$. Good for him!
