We had a very nice day until the wind came up. Joe mowed the back yard this morning. Then later was doing something in the garage - remember he moved the big livestock truck in there. Well he ran into the side mirror with his head and it knocked him to the ground. The cut isn't bad. We washed it up and put some Mercurochrome on it. I guess he had a pretty good pain for a while but that got better. I had just been walked out there earlier myself and saw the mirrors sticking out and thought that was an accident waiting to happen, but expected it would be to me. And by the way, he's about finished cleaning up the garage and it looks really nice. Some more stuff to get rid of and then it will be great. He did get all the stuff he had in the middle of the floor neatly stored.
Don't think I mentioned that I bought quite a few books from a sort of estate sale/yard sale. Most of them are art books. Judi helped me get them because she's helping the daughter sort things out in the house. So today I weeded out enough books to get the new ones on the shelf. The books I removed will go to the Museum of the Mountain Man next time I go to town. I checked on amazon.com and abesbooks.com on some of my favorites and as usual came to the conclusion that books would make a much better investment than stocks. Some of them are quite valuable so it's probably a good idea to take those to the museum instead of leave them here. I wouldn't want the house to burn down with them in it. Gradually, as I can part with them, all the books will go there.
I did watch the Ruffian (horse) movie on ABC last night, and, although it was quite good, thought it was way too graphic when she broke her leg. They sure didn't need to do that. For that reason I don't recommend it to anyone. I watched the real horse race in the '70s and can remember that awful experience. They run those horses way too young for them to be developed.
