fishy problem solved

I went to orchard supply hardware and bought some plastic wire looking stuff to put over the top of the barrels. I also moved the fish up to the middle barrel. The water stays colder there cus there isnt as much direct sun hitting it. the water in this barrel is always full, as opposed to the bottom barrel, it gets empty real fast due to evaporation and splashing. We tried covering the barrel, and that design didnt work well, more water escaped. Yesterday john cut a circle and fastened  it to the top with zip ties. I am happy with this now.

I am also happy that the storms in the southern part of our states didnt do the damage it did last time. New Orleans was spared this time, or so it seems at the time i am tappin this out. They are saying on our news that texas may get hit with a bunch of rain. I am just hoping everyone is safe. If you live or you know anyone that lives in the path of these storms, do what needs to be done to keep yourself safe. That is really what is important right now. peoples safety.

I think it was last year, or maybe two years ago. a young man of about 21 ran for city council of a county a short drive away from us. He is the youngest person to ever run for city council and win. He truly cares about his community and the people. He was working on projects to reduce gang violence and make his community better. Well, last night he was shot and is in critical condition. He is 22 years old and fighting for his life. he is from Fairfield. His name is Matt Garcia. I am writing about this because it makes me so upset that guy was hurt. they have no clues as to who shot him, if it was an intentional shooting, or if he was collateral loss. I hate gangs, gang members, and anything having to do with gangs. They are a problem out here. I hope its not that bad in your part of town. If you have one more prayer in you, can you send one to Matt Garcia from Fairfeild. He is in John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek.

I want to tell you about the Shark steam floor cleaner i bought, but now Im all upset so Im gonna go for now. I just had to get that out of my system.
