Minnesota -168, KC +153.
August is pretty much over and with that, so is the summer.
I've noticed - it's hard not to notice - that the days are shorter. The weather has cooled from the heat we had the summer. Mot yet jacket weather, but not air coonditioner 24/7, either. Good for that.
Several years ago, I spent a day, or more accurately, part of a day, in New Orleans. I was at a Bobcat dealership there. I didn't have time to go to the French Quarter, this was a different city every day tour. Business travel at its most grueling.
I was inspecting prototype machines that were out in customer hands. I drove with Jody, who was the top Bobcat salesman in trhe country. We went to a couple of sites in New Orleans and then we drove out to Gulfport to inspect a machine literally out in the back woods. It was hot and humid, and I was tired and sweaty after crawling over machines all day.
Gulfport was a beautiful area, as I remember. I find the view over big water to be beautiful just about anywhere, I suppose. Beautiful, but possessing unbelievable potential to destroy.
That was my only experience in that area. When I watch TV and see the devastation, I am truly shocked. It is certainly catastrophic.
