Rainy Night in Georgia 

Driving back to Augusta from Rome last night, not far from augusta I noticed the cars slowing down in front of me. So I slowed and shortly after doing so drove into what seemed to be a solid wall of water. I won't say I've never seen it rain that hard, but I don't think I've ever driven in rain that hard. Visibility dropped to about a car length. Not a terribly exciting story, but it was impressive, thin air sure can hold a lot of water.

Don't fall asleep in class unless your professor is Paul (shiny) 

Acts 20:7-12

7) On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. 8) There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting. 9) Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story window and was picked up dead. 10) Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his arms around him. "Don't be alarmed," he said. "He's alive!" 11) Then he went upstairs again and broke bread and ate. After talking until daylight, he left. 12) The people took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted.

Boggle 

So I'm really starting to worry about myself, I've started picking up a liking for country, and not just the old country I've listened to for a while, but all kinds of stuff. Maybe its moving out here in country again or the fact that my job is so much more redneck than I would have expected. Maybe there is no reason. Anyway, here are a couple of the songs I like.


Artist : Sara Evans
Title : Suds In The Bucket

She was in the backyard - they say it was a little past nine
When her prince pulled up - a white pickup truck
Her folks shoulda seen it comin' - it was only just a matter of time
Plenty old enough - and you can't stop love
She stuck a note on the screen door - "sorry but I got to go"
That was all she wrote - her mama's heart was broke
That was all she wrote - so the story goes

Now her daddy's in the kitchen - starin' out the window
Scratchin' and a rackin' his brains
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line

Now don't you wonder what the preacher's gonna preach about Sunday morn
Nothin' quite like this has happened here before
Well he must have been a looker - smooth talkin' son of a gun
For such a grounded girl - to just up and run
Course you can't fence time - and you can't stop love

Now all the biddy's in the beauty shop gossip goin' non-stop
Sippin' on pink lemonade
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line

She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window
And they're headin' up to Vegas tonight
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line


Artist: Reba Mcentire.
Song Title: Somebody.

At a diner down on Broadway they make small talk
When she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup
He jokes about his love life
And tells her he's 'bout ready to give up
That's when she says,"I've been there before
Keep on lookin'
'Cause maybe who you're lookin' for is..."

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody

Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
But today he reads a strangers face instead
It's that blue-eyed girl
From two floors up
Maybe she's the one
Maybe he could fall in love with

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there
Is somebody

Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
A moment they'd both missed until that day
When he saw his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why
He searched so long
When she was always there at that diner waiting for

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there
Oh somewhere out there is somebody

Murgle meh meh
Work is still good, yesterday was working on/with the furnaces which contain thousands of pounds of liquid iron, it was fun, one of them boiled over, that was not fun, but no one was hurt, so that was fine. Its been ver hot, and I find that I'm really unused to this much real work. College prepares you to sit at a desk... thats not what happens in the real world, or at least not the chunk of it I see. Worked 11 hours today, very tired, going to bed.

Moo 

Howdy frozen bodies. So I've started my new job and it seems like its going to be really interesting, I'll have to write more about that later. Just wanted to say that I'm back online for the first time since I left home. Set up in a new apartment and just got the cable modem today. Also this is the latest I've been up in about a week and a half, by about an hour. So I'm going to bed. Hope everyone is doing well.
