    57 degrees when the orb arrived at the bachelor pad this morning high 70s expected. Traffic and crowds at the Kroger store tell me that the mass exodus hasn’t started yet. Brides health took a couple steps backward so # bachelor life sucks continues for unknown duration.

    This Love's is under destruction. Whilst there is non-free coffee, that's about it.

    The OM has authorized an emergency sandwich.

    Do a little weight calculation on the load. I make 9 sacks long, 4 high. Assume 3 wide.. 5th layer is a tie off of lower 4, 2 wide x 9 long. Then say the 2 side by side on top, are only 6 long. Assume 100 lb bags? Lets hear some totals.

    9 x 3 = 27 by 4 high= 108 2 x 9 = 18. 2 x 6 = 12.
    Add up 108 + 18 + 12 =138 X 100 lb per sack = 13,800.
    Figure at 50 lb per sack = 6,900
    Either way. that is a load...

    Was no problem in our day, doing all that calculation. Drove up, what's to load? Put it on, drive off, take it there...

    Me too (also). 2 daughter in KY, me in Tupelo, MS. Fob on neck good on campus here and will work about 3 miles away. Have a directive in office here of what to do in emergency here, then call them to come take over. I have bumped the thing a few times in dressing or reflex on about to drop something. BINGO.. In a moment my phone (land line in apt) rings. If in bedroom or bath, and do not reach promptly, cell rings. On either, this live voice ask. Mr. Johnson, Are you alright?. I reply and they ask for reassurance long enough to know I am responsive. Comforting to have in case of a none fatal fall...
