More MS News
China has had another exacerbation. The left side is getting number and weaker. I posted a new update on her care page at http://www.carepages.com/ServeCarePage?cpn=ChinaHasMS&seed=773642&ClusterNodeID=jb04&tlcx1=default&tlcx2=3608249 Please take a moment and check it out.
Weather has been nicer. We've finally had some rain but not enough yet. July is supposed to be monsoon season here. Some monsoon! Our skin is still flaking off due to the dryness.
We found an article in Yahoo! News that states that watermelon has a similar effect to Viagra. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080703/ap_on_he_me/watermelon_viagra_effect I also read that purple eggplant is good for diabetics. I can't find the link but when I dig it up, I'll post it here.
Happy Summer, y'all!

The Trigo Fire - Manzano Mts. NM
Hi, everybody. Just an update to let all my friends know that we are safe from the fires for now. The biggie, the Trigo fire, is being held by the fire crews. Severl states sent in hotshot crews to help ours fight the fire when the winds blasted the fire out of containment earlier this wek.
Two villages, Tajique and Torreon were saved by the emergency efforts. The fire was barricaded of by chemicals and new firebreaks and traveled a path between the villages. A masterful job of fire management under extreme conditions. Hats off to the hotshots.
Since then, the winds have calmed down into the 10 to 15 miles per hour. The planes and copters are flying again and once more the fire is under containment. If the crews can make sufficient progress before the winds before the winds kick up again around midweek coming up.
At least I can put the battery back into my smoke detector now.

Howdy, friends!
It is nice to see my pals from idolbloglive coming over to wish me well. Thanks to all of you. I will be posting more recipes in days to come, too.
Mrs. E. and I are deciding where to go for our health walk today. The weather is so lovely at the moment that we just want to go outdoors and bask. We may do some of that as well as walking.
We know that this time of year brings severe weather to many parts of the country and for that we feel for those of you who are suffering the wrath of mother nature. Our prayers are with you all. We are especially disturbed by all the flooding in the Ohio and Mississippi basins.
So with the birds songs in our ears and a lilt in our stride, we venture forth. If anything interesting happens, I will let you know when we return from our walk.
