The girls came up with a great idea, going shopping without Lloyd and me. We let them take off, we both took a nap while watching the Indians lose on TV, then we went outside and enjoyed the afternoon, waiting for the girls to return. They had a good time, shopping both in a busy Bemus and Mayville, and Vi, of course, picked up a number of items, as she loves to shop up here. Evie got some cool tee shirts as well, so it was a successful afternoon.

I started reading Jon Krakauer's UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN, A STUDY OF VIOLENT FAITH, which I am enjoying. It looks at the crazies who use religion to justify their violent actions, concentrating so far on so of the violent fundamental Mormons. Most of the book looks closely at the Mormon faith, and so far, it's maddening to read about them. especially a polygamist named John Green, who with 10 wives, maybe 25 children, was able to get over a million dollars from the govt through welfare, to raise his family. Our govt is nuts some times, the way it gives a way money. Because he could not marry the wives, they all were unwed mothers, thus qualifying for welfare and other govt goodies. I must be becoming a conservative.
Ron and Linda are coming over for baked ziti tonight. We have not seen them since the 4th of July.
We went for an hour kayak ride early, getting home by 9:00, just as it was becoming warm. As I write this it's 85 in the shade, probably close to 90 in the sun, and humid. We both worked in the water gathering more weeds, then I spent some time watering the lawn, my constant, before lunch, and now I have been just relaxing in the shade, reading, waiting to get warm enough to jump in the water again.
