All Is Well

So far so good for Sarah's Dad. He is eating normal and already walking around with the joys of his new heart. Thanks to all for their prayers over the weekend for an amazing marvel of modern medicine.

Steve thanks everyone for the prayers, but asks us to also remember that our joy is unfortunately also some other family's loss out there. Please keep that family and their grieving in your prayers.

Also, prayers going out to my uncle Milan in another farming accident. I thought farming was supposed to be "safe" in comparison to other jobs in the world yet I know many people with farming accidents now.... PTO... augers.... damn them all. I do know kind of what a PTO is now after some weekend research.

Speaking of farming - I was watching a special on the GPS tractors from John Deere that make the work so much easier for farmers. The only thing they have to do in the combine is turn it around when it gets to the end of the rows. The GPS tracks the speed, position (within 2 inches), and dictates how much energy has to come from the engine to maintain that speed.... pretty easy, even I could do it!

It was over 90 degrees yesterday here in Taipei... and humid:( Back into the 60s today for a few days with light rain.

In case you were wondering, I'm still in it for a chance to win my basketball pools. I was 14/16 in picking the Sweet 16. I have all 8 of my elite 8 still playing and obviously all the teams after that. I picked Louisville to beat UNC in the final... see how I come out;)

Enjoy your Monday!
