Boy, Is It Ever Hot..























The Second Day Of July And The Heat Of The Summer Is With Us. This Is Not The First Batch Of 90 Degree Temperatures This Summer. It Is My Hopes That The Hot Weather Starts The Season, Then Get's Cooler, And Stays Cool Until Fall. Today I Worked All Afternoon In My Hot Truck. Having No Air Conditioning Is Ok, But When I Get Out Of That Hot Truck And Work In The Back In The Big Box, It's Almost Intolerable. After I Am Finished My Clothes Are Soaked With Sweat.
I Remember As A Teen Some Friends Invited Me To Their Private Swimming Hole. They Had A Tire On A Rope That Swung Over The River. We Had A Blast! It Wasn't A Bad Fishing Hole Either.
I Remember Another Good Fishing Spot. It's Name Is Bryers Beach. Recently A Friend Mentioned Bryers Beach To My Surprise. Only A Handful Of People Knew Where It Was. It Had To Be The Best Fishing Hole I Can Ever Remember. My Uncle Introduced It To Me When He Worked For A Golf Course. You Had To Go Through Nearly Seven Holes To Reach The Spot. My Grandpa And Uncle Rick Taught Me To Be The Very Best Carp Fisherman. It Took Me Awhile, Along With Some Experimenting, But It All Worked Out. We Always Talked About Landing Big Bertha One Day. In My Opinion We Caught A Few Big Bertha's Over A Number Of Years. Never Ate The Carp. I Sold A Few When I Was A Teenager. My Grandpa Said If You Can Land A Carp You Could Land Anything.
It's Been Awhile Since I Last Fished. I Think I Need To Find The Time To Go Fishing Again. Last Time I Went I Got A Ticket For Having No Fishing License. Good Grief, It Was A Lot More Enjoyable Being A Kid. Someday I Wish I Could Go Back And Relive Those Days Again. Memories Are All I Have Left Of Those Good Times I Shared With My Friends. Is It Normal To Do So Much Reminiscing? Some People Call It Day Dreaming But I Find Myself Going Back In Time Often. Maybe Because That Is My Comfort Zone. I Go Back To A Period Of Time When I Felt Good About Life.
I Really Do Hope This Is Normal. It Comforts Me, So It Really Doesn't Matter If It's Considered Not Normal.
I Hear Firecrackers Going Off. That Reminds You Another 4Th Of July Is Approaching. Unfortunately I Don't Enjoy It As I Had In Years Past. I Never Thought A Year Ago I Would Dislike The Month Of July. There Are A Couple Dates That Stir The Emotions.
I Know It Will Be Difficult For Me, But I Will Get Through It.
