Ahhh Friday Afternoon...

There is almost no better feeling than Friday afternoon around 4:00pm. The day is almost over and the weekend is here. This is the time my brain usually turns off for the week. So its that time right now and I am feeling good. Its been a long week as usual but a good week. Not as crazy as the last few weeks I have had. So now I am thinking about the weekend. I guess I will be playing tennis Saturday and Sunday morning. Then... I will take some friends shopping.

I have some friends from Tokyo staying at my house this week. Its been fun to see them. So I am their tour guide for the next few days which will be fun. They will fly back to Japan next week. I will be going also for business so kind of crazy.

The weather here is really really hot. As I said in my last post. But this year across the United States we have been having a heat wave. So Utah is not the only hot place around. Other areas are even hotter!! But it's still hot here and tomorrow will get even hotter. So that means lots of ice cream for me!!!

I have been in our cafeteria for the last 25 minutes watching a car chase on CNN. A guy robbed a bank and the police have been chasing him. We have been watching it live. Pretty exciting actually and now its finally over. I am glad no one got hurt. But the robber is going to be in prison a long time I think. He even shot at the police while driving. So that made my afternoon a little exciting...hehe.

Well its about my favorite time of the week... I guess I will enjoy it. Monday is here toooooooo sooooon....!!

Hotter than Hell!!!

It is hot!!! I really like summer but not when its 40 degrees everyday. We are having a major heat wave here now. No rain, no clouds, no wind, nothing. Just blue sky and heat!!! I played some tennis yesterday and today in this weather and it almost killed me. I was sweating so much and drinking so much water. But hey its better than snow right?? Anyway... its tough to do anything outside in this heat. Tennis is about all I can do. Also work in my garden. But thats it! After that its inside with the nice air conditioner. Oh yea and don't forget the ice cream!!!

But one problem is the mountain fires. Its so dry now that we are having a lot of fires in the mountains. My house is at the base some mountains and last week we had our first fire. There will be more. But this year seems early. Usually we don't get this hot weather until mid August... So its going to be a long summer I think!! A long hot summer!

Air Show:

I had a chance to go to an air show with my dad. He is retired military so we had VIP seating. It was really awsome to see the airplanes and military jets. Check out the video above of this air show taken.

Also here are some pics I took.


This is part of the crowd at the show. There were about 100,000 people who attended. I had front row!




Here is a picture of the famous F-16.

Here is a picture of a Japanese Zero Fighter from World War 2. There are only 4 left in the world that actually fly. This is one of them.

This is a piicture showing the history of Americal fighters.
