What's Up Zeus?

I've seen the magic of the Thunder God twice in the last week. The weather continues to be weird out there, hot and sunny then cold and rainy. This upcoming week is going to be strange after the last one. There are projections for a sub zero day coming up. At this time of year? In this part of the country? Yes, it is true. I was working land a couple of days ago and now it's all watered right up. I wish we could ship some water to California. I know the US government has tried to manipulate the weather but some days I wish mankind had mastered that. Is that the last thing in nature we have left to master? I think not, I suspect we still have our work cut out for us in the deeps of the ocean. Actually I'm not even sure we have all the deepest spots quantified yet. If we could breathe underwater we'd probably have the ocean floor mapped and have cities down there. That would be wild. I'm not sure I could handle it, I'm not a huge water guy. I love being in it up to my knees on a hot day but anything past that just seems frivolous to me. I'm weird, deal with it.

The last of my summer assistants started today. I spent the entire day orienting them to my site, I guess re-orienting them since they worked for me last year. I was lucky enough to have all my people return to me. I was the only one that was this fortunate. Partly due to clever planning when I started by picking a relatively young crew and partly due to my creation and maintenance of a fun but effective work environment. It's a balance I yearned for in my years as the assistant and  now that I am the master I strive to implement as many pieces of my plan as possible. So far, so good. It was a slow day with a lot of computer based training which made posting tonight especially unattractive to me, but here I am, a trooper.

I should add also that I clipped a couple of movies off the list yesterday but taking some time to myself to relax. I crossed two off my lifetime list. The one worth mentioning is Charlie St Cloud. This is only because it was eventually used in the "Do you want to see .... with my friend" game. The original might have been African Cats, which some will recall was successful for a certain brewery employee. The next film in the game was Salt. It was easily the worst. I'd say it really salted my game. Whoa! Yeah, well I think I've given you enough for today. Come on back now ya hear.
