Mugged . . . By Mother Nature

Yep, that's right, I was mugged by Mother Nature this past week.  Still feeling the effects.  Tuesday and Wednesday were very hot and humid.  The air temperature was in the mid-90's.  The temperature around my mower seat was probably 20 degrees warmer. I sit in front of the diesel engine.  There was a breeze once in a while Tuesday, and a very hot wind Wednesday, but I'm not sure if it helped me much.  I went home broiled well done both days.  Thursday, I wore a long sleeve shirt and my rain jacket to keep warm.  Have no idea where that extra 20 degrees went . . . Yesterday, I wore the long sleeve shirt, a sweatshirt and my rain suit to keep warm.  Each day since Tuesday, I've felt worse -- sorish throat, tired and achy.  Today I have a cough, congestion and not much of a voice.  Haven't had a sore throat or any type of cold for a couple years, maybe longer.  Don't get this type of thing much since I put the chalk away . . .  So I'm blamin it on Mother Nature . . . 

gas price

Stopped for a newspaper yesterday.  The price of fuel had dropped from 3.78 to 3.58.  Today the prices have dropped another penny.  Interesting . . . the price of sweet crude hasn't dropped any, if at all the last few days.  Maybe that Chicago area refinery is back on line.
