RECORD HEAT POSSIBLE TODAY

Where in the world is fall, it looks like we might set a record for a high temperature this afternoon, it feels like it's the middle of July instead of early October. The record for today is 92 and they are calling for it to be 93 or 94 today. The 2nd round of the MLB playoffs are now set since the Indians beat the Yankees last night 6-4, in the AL it will be the Red Sox vs Indians and in the NL it will be the Rockies vs Diamondbacks. In case you didn't see the end of Monday Night Football the Dallas Cowboys is 9 points in the last 20 seconds of the game to beat the Buffalo Bills 25-24, I hate to say it but the Cowboys are pretty good. I have enclosed a few photos of what they did in the new room yesterday, as you can tell we now have carpet in the new room but no furniture yet. My AIP is up a bit again this morning because I now have a blister on my big toe and my arm is once again sore. MICKEY

You sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.
