The strange dreams continue.
In one I had last night, what I remember is being in the front yard and doing some landscaping. The area I was working in was shaded by these lovely trees. What I was doing was making a better pond for some fish that we had. While I was alternatively working on the pond and dealing with the fish, I was fighting with our neighbors. I remember that one of the neighbors was on their porch talking to me and someone was hanging out a window. What I gather is that they didn't like what I was doing with the fish. I told it was going to be fine. At times, someone from my house would come out and impede the work I was doing by trying to argue with me about some nothing issue. That's all I remember about that dream and I now don't remember anything of the other dream. Well if I think of it, I'll post it here.

Got a little bit of rain last night. Rain had been forecast, but it was a slight chance we would get any. Don't think it was more then an eighth of an inch.

The other night I had a couple strange dreams. One included me driving around in an expensive yellow high performance car, like a Porche. That's all I remember about it. The other dream involved me being a parent or a surrogate parent to a bunch of kids. We were dirt poor and it was Christmas time. The kids wanted things we could afford and they didn't seem to understand I couldn't take them to the store to get said items. The only thing else I remember is that somehow I managed to get just enough to buy some of the things on the kids want list.

Last night I had a dream that involved Mom and me traveling. We ended up stopping at a shopping mall to buy some of the things we really needed. Before we split up, we agreed to meet back at the register of this particular store we were at in half an hour. I wondered off and found a couple things I wanted. As I looked around I would see something I liked and wanted to look at again later. The problem was I could never find the item again, so as a result I ended up just wandering around like an idiot. At some point I knew I need Mom's help, but had no clue where she was. After wandering around for awhile, I saw here walking past with a group of parents and kids. I motioned her to come off and she said she would be back in a minute. The dream ended with me just continuing to wander around.

Two sports related stories.

First-Byron Nelson, the golfing legend passed away. Although I have had an interest in golf off and on for years, I was familiar with the name. But I know very little about him.

Secondly, it looks as though Terrell Owens attempted suicide. I hope he gets some help that he needs.

Some deaths I am late on reporting- Mickey Hargitay who was married to Jayne Mansfield. Their daughter,Mariska, is an actress. Tim Rooney, Mickey Rooneys son. Joseph Hayes, who wrote "The Desperate Hours". And finally Iva Toguri D'Aquino "Tokyo Rose".

Heres how my football picks did this past weekend: Idaho and Northwestern lost, Washington St won and Miami had a bye week. Indy and Chicago won, NY Giants lost and KC had a bye week.

I had a couple odd dreams last night.

In one dream I was living with an older woman who I was very much attracted to. We went to bed, we shared a bed for some reason, and this particular night she went to bed naked. Well I couldn't keep my hands off of her so we ended up making love. During the course of the dream our relationship unfolded. We became a couple and made love often. The things that were strange was the apartment was small which didn't bother either of us and that I never really got a good look at her face.

The other dream took place at night and there was some sort of celebration going on in the community. There were comfortable benches outside and people were walking around with smiles on their faces. When I sat down on one of the benches, I realized I had a small bag in my hand that had some fireworks in it. Not long after I sat down, an older woman came along and sat down near me. We talked about everything that was going on and the stuff I had in the bag. I ended up lighting one of the items and a small fireball came out and headed towards a house on the hill setting it on fire. I became upset because I thought there were people in the house had died. The woman sitting next to me joked about the fireworks. A couple minutes later the other item in ny bag caught on fire and flung a fireball towards a shack on a hill overhead setting it on fire. I got up and headed to my room in the hotel close by. When I looked back I thought a zombie was following me and I ran towards the river bank and then darted off. The next few days in the dream seemed to pass by quickly ending my death in the dream. Don't think I actually died though.

We got a little bit of rain yesterday morning, but it wasn't more then an eighth of an inch. In fact, we got just shy of half an inch on Thursday. The strange thing is, we had two bursts of heavy rain. The later burst lasted a few minutes. But that's how strange Mother Nature works sometimes.

Had a dream last night that me a few people I knew, went to this restaurant we had been here good things about. When we got there, a large crowd was in the lobby and we thought we would have to wait awhile. But they were leaving and so we taken to our table. We walked through the main dining area and descended the stairs to this large are downstairs that was dark. The person who was showing us to our table walked so fast that I lost him in the dark. As we continued to stumble in the room, I looked over and saw people sitting in chairs along the wall. Finally I took a flashlight out of my bag and found our table. The person who had led us downstairs and a few of the people seemed a bit perturbed by the flashlight, but I figured we would never have found our table without it. After we had been sitting down in the dark for awhile a projector turned on and some weird films started to play. Without us even having to order, some food was put in front of us. Since the tables in the room were rather large, a couple more small groups were seated with us. None of us in my group were happy about our experience so far. As the films played, a guy at our table started to cry about the gal featured in one of the films. He said it was so sad what happened to her, he was upset enough he couldn't finish his meal. After we eat a little of the bad food, we paid our bill and left. The next day I went to my office writing a review of the restaurant. When it was published, the newspaper got a little backlash from the restaurant and some of its fans about the article. We defended it, because it was all true. Later we found out that if they felt you weren't good enough to be seated upstairs you got taken to the basement dining room. A few days after the article appeared, the restaurant closed for remodeling.

Had some rain in the area yesterday, mostly in the afternoon and evening. Mom worked late last night and we went to pick up some dinner at the store, when we got back home it started to rain heavily. There had been tornado warnings for counties west of us, as far as I know we were never under a warning of any kind.

I have been having strange dreams again and I cant seem to remember anything but have fleeting images of what I dreamt. I wish I could remember more. In one dream I do remember a friend of mine, whom I haven't seen in months, came by with some friends of his and they talked to me about one or more of them staying at my place. They seemed disappointed by me not having enough space for them. That's all I remember about the dream.

My football picks results from this past weekend: College picks- Miami lost, Northwestern, Washington St. and Idaho won. NFL picks-KC lost, Indy, Chicago and NY Giants won. My picks did better this week, it would be nice if just one weekend they all won.

Got an inch of rain overnight. It is cooler today then yesterday. I think yesterday's high was ninety-one. At the moment it is in the sixties.

Had a headache yesterday, it never got really bad but had wanted to see a movie and didn't feel like I could sit through a movie with the pain I had.

So sad that this week two babies were kidnapped. One has been found safe, the other one is still missing.

Ann Richards, former governor of Texas, has died from cancer.

Whitney Houston has filed for a separation or a divorce, it depends on what news service you read.

According to weather forecasters, this past summer was one of the hottest since the dust bowl days. They base this on the average temperature.

Watched Project Runway last night and when they introduced the "guests", it was Vincent and the doofus Angela. The kicker was that if they won, they would be back in the game. Well I was ready to give up the show if the doofus won the challenge. The designers could only use two colors, black and white. I watched hoping that luck would hold out and doofus would not win and that her and Vincent would once again be off the show. Once the outfits had been made, the models put them on and off to the runway. After the runway show and after the judges chatted with the designers, it was Aufing time. Laura won the challenge, which meant adios to both Vincent and Angela for a second wonderful time. The loser of the rest of the designers was Kayne. I can see why they let him go, most of the outfits he made were really just variations of pageant dresses, at least in my opinion. Uli is for the most part also a one trick pony, variations of halter dresses. I think if Kayne and Uli had gone outside of there comfort zone and made something that wasn't a halter top dress or something gal could wear to a pageant, they might have gotten better scores. I am sorry to see Kayne go, not so sorry to see the other two go again. Good luck, Kayne.

My NFL picks were alright this past weekend-KC & NY Giants lost, Indy and Chicago won. Think I would be shocked if all my teams, both college and pro, all won in one weekend.

It has looked like rain the past couple days but didn't do anything. There is a chance of rain for today and then its suppose to warm up the rest of the week.

Have a mild headache today, but I'll take some aspirin with breakfast.

It has been five years since four hijacked planes crashed, two in New York, one in Washington DC and the last one in Pennsylvania. And since that day have we as a country learned anything? NO. Everything is normal, almost like nothing ever happened. Our government hasn't really done anything. Sure we have kids fighting a so called war, but nothing really has come of it. Sure we got Saddam, but look at all of the others that have slipped through the cracks. Gas costs more today then it did before the attacks, but rather then being outraged that greedy oil folks are making a ton of money everyone seems to just be resigned to paying more at the pump.

It is sad to think that all those people died for nothing, but that's where we are.

This week with my college picks- Miami and Washington St. won while Northwestern and Idaho both lost.

Got some rain early yesterday morning and then not a drop after about seven am. Today we have had short rain showers at least three times as the storm fronts have moved through.

Watched Project Runway Wednesday evening and was giddy to see Vincent finally go. There's just something weird about that guy and I'm not sure if I can put my finger on it. But I am glad he's gone.

Mowed much of the front yard this morning. Would have done it earlier, but I had a mild migraine. I began to feel a little better after I had eaten breakfast. The main reason I wanted to mow was there is a chance of rain for the weekend and as I've mentioned before, I don't like mowing during or right after it rains. Just my little quirk, but with our yard I don't want to go to the hospital with an injury because I couldn't wait a day or two.

Will probably watch a movie this afternoon. Still have one more disc of my Ren & Stimpy box set to watch. I bought it a couple months ago and then the heat came and then I didn't feel like watching them.

Miami lost to Florida St. last night. So that puts me at one for four so far. Okay I know it's only the first week.

Steve Irwin Died after a incident with a stingray.

Saw a few minutes of the Jerry Lewis MDA show, seems like they used to have it one the entire Labor day weekend. Guess times have changed.

So far my college picks dont look good-Washington St. lost, Idaho lost but Northwestern won. Tonight Miami plays and I hope they win.

Nellie Connally who was in car when John F. Kennedy was assassinated has died. She was the last living person who was in the car on that fateful November 1963 day in Dallas Texas. May she rest in peace.

Okay, here are my Pro and College Football teams I picked last week. Pro-Indy Colts, NY Giants to keep the Bears and Chiefs company. College-Idaho, Miami, Washington State and Northwestern. Watched the Ohio State Buckeyes spank the Northern Illinois Huskies yesterday.

Will do some chores today and maybe go out and do an errand this afternoon. I need to mow the backyard, but I am not sure if I will do that today or tomorrow.
