I have finished my glazing - yay!!! I left the fan blowing on all the pieces to make sure they dry completely before I load them in the kiln tonight. If I recall correctly, the cycle takes about 13 hours, and cooldown can take at least that long, so I don’t expect to be able to unload till Thursday. Here’s hoping nothing explodes… Since the summer Olympics coincide with US presidential electioneering, would it be redundant to include poo-flinging as an event?? ---

They need an archery event where the targets are moving. They have moving targets in shooting, they should have it in archery as well Put baseball/softball back into the Olympics A focus on more types of martial arts other than judo and Tae Kwon Do. I’d love to see Olympic Kickboxing, Kung Fu, or Ninjitsu Javelin should have an event where its not about distance but accuracy ---

The sky has opened up here - I haven’t seen it rain this hard in months! Lots of thunderboomers, too, but no power farts yet, so that’s good. I think this calls for ice cream!! 😃 ---

The professor who is giving me a hard time about giving me an incomplete continued to put me off again today. This man is a psychologist and actually works at the same mental health place where I go. Wouldn’t you think that someone like this would have knowledge, compassion, etc. to understand where I’m coming from? I called and left a message for the administrative assistant for the department because she was very helpful yesterday. Otherwise, just got done eating N.O.L. and now I suppose I’ll get to work.
