Went with Carla to do a stroll thru a nearby cemetery and found some decent chunks of black tourmaline in the cemetery dirt roadways.  Gave Amber 3 of them, which she happily accepted and I kept 1.  Not bad for a rock huncher!   ;)

With the high heat and vast humidity, along come pop up storms here and there.
They can be quite severe and cover only a small part of a county, but the small storms can kick the shit out of what ever is under the storm clouds. No tornadoes, just straight line wind sheer.

So more free fire wood from the sides of roads. Some of the logs are large from old trees, so I carry a chainsaw and a machete for now to ensure I can get the wood into the back of my car.
I thought last month I had enough to burn all fall and the nice parts of winter, but no settled soul ever passes up oak and maple on the sides of roads for free. None of us settled souls turn that cheek out.
That wood belongs to who ever helps the homeowner clear things or who ever gets there first afterward.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Got Carla's bicycle repaired, chain kept falling off and the repair guy put on a chain guard to keep it on!  8)
