Sorry to ave taken so long to answer but all I saw was Mikeyy and he is on my ignore list so I thought it would be a waste of my time.

Yea I and the wife with her sister and their family went to Chattanooga and a few other places in Tenn. for weekend stays.

Lovely people and some very nice towns, it is just on the highways where (see my wife fears driving fast) I would have some problems, as a lot of drivers know where they are going and do speed.

Alone I would keep pace with them. But with the wife and her son I had to watch out behind me as much as in front of the car.

I wish I could remember all the places we went to. One up in the country with long curving narrow roads was so beautiful..

Two more Indiana counties declared primary natural disaster areas

By Fox59

Indianapolis

Two additional Indiana counties were declared primary natural disaster areas Wednesday.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture/Farm Service Agency have added Warren and Jackson Counties to the list of Indiana counties devastated by this summer's drought.

The USDA also declared Scott County a contiguous county.

The declaration makes the farmers in all three counties eligible to apply for low-interest emergency loans through the department's Farm Service Agency.

Currently, 81 counties are eligible for federal aid. Of that, 66 counties have been declared primary natural disaster areas. Fifteen contiguous counties are also eligible for aid.

Lt. Governor Becky Skillman has asked the USDA to declare all 92 Indiana counties as natural disaster areas. It's not clear when the USDA will make a decision about all 92 counties.

Sorry to hear this.......

A bit off topic but why wait on her if you both have agreed as you might do a bit better if you file first.

But it is none of my business.

Young and old I hear the same refrain, "It hurts to walk outside some days."
It's a swelter that is for sure and hotter than in my lifetime except once in Vegas which is supposed to be hot.
