Dorothy, thanks for the reminder! I have some whole grain crackers with flax seed and that is a great one for the gut. (Straight flax can overwhelm). Those crackers scooping up my homemade hummus would be a wonderful evening snack. (And congratulations on the weight loss!)
It's Tuesday evening, regular training night, so the volunteer fire department is outside in the street using the hydrant at the corner between my yard and next door to practice filling the various vehicles with tanks. They're training for off-road driving (to deal with grass fires) and the difficulty of driving with the weight of 500 gallons or more of water. They use this hydrant because we have the highest water pressure in town here at the bottom of the hill, and it speeds up filling the trucks. I loaded a dishpan with all of the cold cans of sparkling water from the fridge and walked out and handed them out and talked with folks for a few minutes. I fought fires years ago (in the 1970s) and one of the things that was always great was if someone came along where we were working and handed out cold drinks. I can finally return the favor. At 9pm it's still 98o.
