in the past (blog # 1) and just doing that ain't going to work because I believe
you would like to hear about the present, too.
You see, I've completed over 198 stories (blogs), and do two blogs a day.
You can get to the remainder of my stories thru Weebly.com, Facebook
and Twitter.
Thanks.

Ryan is doing well after being in the ER last. I asked him just a while ago
if he took his 10:00 AM Tegratol before he had his seizure and he said yes
and he don't lie to me.

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
"More selective ringing methods were introduced using various
technologies. In the system of divided ringing, the ringing circuit was
separated from the talking circuit by adding a ground connection between
the central office and the subscriber stations for ringing. On the same
subscriber line, one party used the tip side of the line and ground for
ringing, whilst the other party on the same line used the ring wire and
ground for ringing, to achieve full selectivity for two-party lines, in which
only the selected station would ring. These names for the wires are derived
from the paired cord plugs—used on a manual switchboard—composed
of three parts: the tip and the sleeve separated by a narrow metal band
called the ring, each of these three
components being insulated from one another.[39] In the Bell System, the
two stations were thus called the tip party and the ring party, In combination
with code ringing, this method could be extended to four and eight
subscribers to reduce the number of disturbances. In several variations of
divided ringing, also called grounded ringing, the bells were activated
with polarized current, so that full selectivity was achieved for up to four
parties."
Mother Teresa
"Mother Teresa was a saint during her life and before she officially becomes
one this weekend, a representative of the Holy See told Newsmax TV.
Msgr. Hilary C. Franco of the Office of the Permanent Observer of the
Holy See to the UN told host JD Hayworth on "Newsmax Prime" Mother
Teresa was an "extraordinary human being."
"You can imagine how I would feel when a person whom you already know
is a saint because she was a saint to us even before this coming Sunday
being proclaimed by Pope Francis," said Franco, referencing Mother Teresa's
upcoming canonization. She died in 1997.

Tropical Storm Hermine
"Deadly Hermine regains strength on holiday-wrecking march up Eastern
Seaboard.
Tropical Storm Hermine regained strength Saturday as it moved slowly up
the Eastern Seaboard and made a mess of the holiday weekend.
Hermine has already caused two deaths, damaged properties and left
hundreds of thousands of people without electricity from Florida to Virginia.
It also spawned a tornado in North Carolina. "This is not a beach weekend
for anyone in the Mid-Atlantic to the Northeast," said Eric Blake, a hurricane
specialist at the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Hermine rose up over the Gulf of Mexico and hit Florida on Friday as a
Category 1 hurricane before weakening across Georgia. By 2 p.m. Saturday,
Hermine's top sustained winds had increased again to 70 mph as it moved
east at 10 mph . The storm was centered 90 miles east of Duck, N.C.
Tropical storm warnings were in effect as far north as Connecticut, with
dangerous storm surge expected along the coast from Virginia to
New Jersey. Governors all along the coast announced emergency
preparations.
The winds and rain were so strong Saturday in North Carolina that all
bridges to the Outer Banks were closed after a deadly accident over
the intracoastal waterway.
Tyrrell County Sheriff Darryl Liverman told the Virginian-Pilot that high
winds tipped over an 18-wheeler, killing its driver and shutting down the
U.S. 64 bridge.
And on Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks, a small tornado spawned by
Hermine knocked over two trailers and injured four people, authorities
said.
Forecasters said the storm system could strengthen back into a hurricane
Monday through Wednesday as it moves on an offshore path from the
waters of Maryland to Connecticut, before weakening again off New
England.
The timing couldn't be worse for communities along the coast hoping for
revenue from Labor Day celebrations.
In Rehoboth Beach, Del., where the beach was closed to foot traffic and
swimming prohibited Saturday, traffic was lighter than normal, said Jim
Derrick, whose family businesses include a mini golf course, sea shell
store, indoor bounce house and ice cream shop.
"This weekend would normally be a parking lot," he said in a telephone
interview. He called the weekend "definitely disappointing," although
his bounce house was packed.
Elsewhere along Hermine's path, people were having decidedly less fun.
In Savannah, Ga., the Bacon Fest was canceled Friday and Saturday's Craft
Brew Fest was moved indoors.
In Virginia Beach, the storm forced Bruce Springsteen to move a Saturday
night concert to Monday.
Swimmers were ordered out of the surf in New Jersey.
Joyce Harper of Township, N.J., said her family canceled a barbecue Monday
and took their three young daughters to the Seaside Heights boardwalk to
"burn off some energy" ahead of the storm.
"If it's as bad as they expect, then we're all going to be indoors for a couple
days. I love my kids, but two days is a long time to be together in close
spaces," she said.
Amtrak canceled or altered some service as the storm approached. And
Gov. Andrew Cuomo activated New York's Emergency Operations Center.
With about 300,000 Florida homes still without electricity on Saturday,
Gov. Rick Scott said restoring power is his state's top priority.
"I want everybody to have their power. I want them to be able to take a hot
shower," he said.

Mother
During Mother's morning nap of about one hour, I wait for the Meals on
Wheels meal to be delivered. The have a monthly menu and the food is
cooked at James Madison University and then delivered to the Senior
Center located at the park (I forgot the name) after the intersection of US
Route 33 and Waterman Drive going east and then a right turn to the park
entrance and then a slight right into the parking area.

Marco Polo Jones
numerous matches from Google.
I failed to say last night after typing the above quote that, Marco Polo Jones,
sure has a lot of followers.
I fell down today and it was the first time all summer. I like working hard, so
I got right back up and started working again. I'm moving a 3 foot diameter
garden of about 30 flowers to a garden in the southeast corner of the property.
I dug up the ground in a curve-like way so that whoever mows the grass can do
much easier. I also made three lanes of grass leading from the outside curve to
the property marker. Did not get finished because I went along with Bill to Boston
Market. Boy, was that good. I you've never eat there you ought to try it sometimes.
