Today has been fairly uneventful. Becky and I have been reading water meters today. It's a pretty decent side gig and we end up being able to pay our mortgage off of a few (or four) days work. (don't be too impressed. That's a Cincinnati mortgage!) Drawbacks are that it's a really hot job in the Summer and bitter cold in the dead of winter. Today, however, was a perfect day to be doing it. Sunny and warm, but just enough so that we could feel the warmth of the rays. I think it's warmer now than it has been in recent years past. The sun seemed more powerful for May than I remember. Then again, I was listening to Al Gore on the radio. Perception or actuality?
Global warming naysayers claim that their winter was plenty cold or their summer days are plenty hot. That's like saying there's no hunger in the world just because you just ate a big mac. Silly.
One hazard of meter reading is the bird populations. Swans, geese and ducks are all over the properties and are very protective of their young. I don't blame them, but I do have to run from them some times. Swans are huge birds, btw!
