6:36 a.m. - We need to get through today. The weather is sticky and hot, but the storms are supposed to come through today and cool things off and have things dryer. The rest of the week looks great if the weather forecast holds. Getting through today means getting through a couple of softball games at Davenport North with Steve Cooper. Steve is from Cedar Rapids, and he's a hoot. I never know what to expect from him, so it could be an adventure. We might be dodging raindrops and storms. Then I have to get to Sherrard and do some basketball officiating. I'm not physically prepared for that...I don't have any gear together either, so that's something I need to do this morning.
The camper is still out at Loud Thunder, and I like the spot it is in at the Horse Corral...that may become my favorite spot, but at the right times of the year. And I feel somewhat guilty because I'm taking up a spot that could be used by someone with horses. On the other hand, there is only one other camper there right now, and that camper doesn't have horses, so at least the area is getting utilized. And the cicadas! They are amazing. There are two sounds....one is the sound "up-front" that we generally hear all summer, and that's not a surprise. It's the other constant sound that's special, almost like the constant background sound of bagpipes. It's deeper in the woods. The interesting thing is that both sounds quiet down around 7:30-8:00 p.m., and the deeper sound was waking up when I was outside the camper this morning around 6 a.m., but the up-front sound had not yet started. I didn't hear any cicadas at all from inside the camper while sleeping.
I may not go out to the camper at all the rest of today and tonight...no sense in not being able to sleep because of the forecasted rain/storms. I'll just see how the day goes.
