Sometimes it's good to be single and childless...

Man's companion
I went out of town for business, and things were terrific! Everything related to work went right. And on top of that...I got 2 marriage proposals!
I took notice that even though the proposals were joking, they both only did so because I was doing some kind of service or kindness to someone else. One time was because I offered to get drinks for everyone from the kitchen, the other was because I was emptying the trash. I think this is rather telling of the behavior of the modern woman. As I offered to get drinks, the other women in the room were saying the guys could get their own drinks.
When did we as women lose the unction to serve and help? I feel happy when I can do something, even as little as emptying the trash, to make another person's environment better. I think it's a real tragedy that in today's society that women believe we are equal to men in all things. I support gender roles...I personally think we got the better end of the deal!

Flooding in Middle Tennessee
So everyone may be aware by now that Nashville is under water in many places. The rain just won't stop. We have gotten 25% of a year's average in 2 days; 18 inches...in two days...
Fortunately for me, I am still dry with power and clean water. I was wise to cancel all my weekend plans and just stay home. From the time it started raining until the time the rain had pretty much stopped, I only stepped outside enough to walk Titan. When I finally did venture out a short while ago, I saw plenty of areas where there had been high waters, but the water had receded in most of the roads and parking lots leaving behind the debris, sediment, and destroyed pavement.
I have been a bit surprised that CNN and Fox have not covered this story at all, at least not from what I've seen. I understand they are covering the oil spill in the the Gulf and a car bomb that didn't detonate in Times Square. Interesting...I guess they just all know that Tennesseans are resourceful enough to take care of ourselves and don't need to plea to the nation to take care of us.
