Here’s the deal.  This website has said that every day for two years!  When does longer than usual become usual?

I think it’s called a Neon Skimmer.

They like to hang around sheltered water in the American South and Southwest, Louisiana to California.

Turns out Freddy is a warm weather frog friend.  As the summer heat let up, he came home less.  Now we only see him once in a while.  The fountain is still full of water, but it looks kind of empty.

WingStop can deep fry up a batch of wings for you in 18 minutes.  My grilling method takes 2 ½ hours.  After prep (open air drying in the fridge to dry out the skin, then salt, pepper, and a spray of olive oil.  Chop in some green onions and jalapeno if you like.), the drummies go on the top rack of the grill

… and slow cook for tenderness with only one burner on low, lid closed, at about 250 degrees, for 2 hours.

Then, directly on the grill with all three burners on high to finish, stirring them around for about 15 minutes, until they look like this.

Tender and juicy; serve them up with anything, as long as there is ranch dressing with a squirt of Frank’s for dipping.

Betcha can’t eat just one!

Here is what the local Channel 5 weatherman, Tim Smith, thinks about yesterday’s humidity.

He calls it the “Muggy Meter”.

Funny, but we don’t mind the humidity at all.  Today, cooler and dryer though.  Doors and windows open.  A no-air-conditioning day.  Haven’t been able to do that lately.

Early voting yesterday.  No crowds.  Easy parking.  Walk right up and walk in.  Exchange pleasantries with the folks managing the process.  Punch a few buttons.  Painless.  Satisfying.  Got our “We Voted” sticker.
