TOO HOT TO FEST
I think this was the first year, since I've been back here, that I didn't make it to Riverfest. I wasn't the only one who was kept away by the heat. Riverfest revenue was down 40% this year due to the miserably high temperatures.
ANOTHER BIRTHDAY TODAY
Kathy isn't the only one to add another candle today. Ed Ames (of the Ames Brothers) is still alive and kickin' at 85.
THERE'S A GREAT OLD PHOTO IN THE LA CROSSE TRIBUNE TODAY
It's a photo, taken in 1939 (the summer before I was born) which shows the area just south of Riverside Park where the new LHI Insurance campus is nowadays. What a change! CLICK HERE FOR ARTICLE AND PICTURE.
THE BIRTHDAY GIRL RETURNS
According to Rita, Carl and Kathy return to La Crosse today after their family visits in Great Falls and Superior.

ANOTHER GREAT ONE GONE
Who could forget Ernest Borgnine? Sad to hear of his death at the age of 95. There was "Marty" on the big screen in the 50's, for which he won an Oscar, and "McHale's Navy" on the little screen in the 60's and the long list of other great films he appeared in during his long career.
WHAT LOVELY GARDENS IN RAPID CITY
I got some pretty pictures from Ron and Penny today.
Ron Said, "Penny and I took the garden walk, today, and thought you might enjoy seeing the garden photos we took."

IN CASE YOU MISSED THIS ON YAHOO!
I ran across this article on where the big bucks the Hollywood studios are raking in are coming from. It isn't coming from the theaters anymore! It leads me to wonder if there could come a time when the movie theaters are no more? Nothing is forever, you know. Not even me so you'd better enjoy me while you can. READ THE ARTICLE HERE.
STUCK AT THE GATE
How about the USAir aircraft that got stuck at the gate at Reagan International in Washington yesterday? The tarmac got so hot it started to get soft and one of the wheels held the plane in place when the tow vehicle tried to push it back from the gate. Took three hours to get unstuck! I'll bet that was a cabin full of happy campers!
HERE'S A GREAT EXERCISE FOR MY KIND OF PEOPLE
THIS IS NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS ...
Pass to all 50 yrs and older.
Cardiovascular Exercise
The older we get the more important it is to incorporate exercise into our daily routine. This is necessary to maintain cardiovascular health and maintain muscle mass.
If you're over 50, you might want to take it easy at first, then do more repetitions as you become more proficient and build stamina. Warning: It may be too strenuous for some.
Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program!
Scroll Down.
NOW SCROLL UP..
That's enough for the first day. Great job.
Have a beer as your reward.

A COUPLE OF OLD CROONERS ARE CELEBRATING A BIRTHDAY TODAY
Jerry Vale celebrates 80 years and Steve Lawrence hits 77.
I WAS JUST LOOKING OVER THE CALENDAR OF EVENTS FOR TODAY
I can't decide between the horseshoe tournament at the Hog Wild Bar in Onalaska or the belly dancing lessons at the Moonlight Dance Studios in La Crosse.
I'll bet Roger, Carl and I could give a whole new meaning to a belly dancing class.
A PERFECT DAY TO BE OUTSIDE
The forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with a high of 83. Conditions will be much the same tomorrow. Carl and Kathy get home, from their latest trip, and they're bringing the better weather with them.
But, is the weather ever perfect? I guess not. After the miserable heat wave, the plants are starting to wilt. We could use some rain and I don't see any on the horizon. Just a lot of sun all week.
