Brown-eyed Susan

 Think the thunder woke me around 3 or 4 a.m. and then I heard a whimper at my bedroom door.  Whip wanted in.  She's not exactly afraid of thunder - maybe she just thinks we should be together if there is any danger.  Anyway she jumped on the bed and instantly curled up to sleep.  When the sun came up (well, it got lighter out) I checked the new diverter into the rain barrel.  The barrel was practically full.  I checked the rain gauge and it read a 1/2 inch of rain.   (It rained the rest of the morning.  When I checked in the afternoon we'd had an inch of rain.)  I shut the diverter off.  It had worked just as I'd hoped.  

Brothers Phil & Brent were watching a pre-season game of the Packers in the living room.  I made sure they had access to chips before going into my bedroom to watch Svengoolie and text w/ Friend Kathy.  He showed the original 'Werewolf of London'.  A lot more werewolf lore than I thought - nice touch that it was aired during the full moon.   Anyway, after the movie was over I came back out to the living room and it was dark - Brent was in his bedroom and Phil had gone over to Mjolnir.   Seems the game was going so bad, they couldn't watch past the third quarter.  (And people say the movies Sven airs are bad.)
