Any suggestions? I'm sorry to hear that. Of all the people on the Porch, I don't think I've ever noticed you as being blue or down or sad. (Actually your tied with several people like Hammering Rick, Dealie, Volty, and a few others.) You are always quick with a joke or a smile. Even when we are beating up Clown Killers, you always remain friendly and happy. That's a nice quality to have. Hopefully these summertime blues blow away quickly like an August thunder storm. (My dog hides under the bed until it goes away. I count the time in between the lightning and thunder... If it's really loud, I hide under the bed and count with the dog. I never tried it with the blues though. However, I don't suggest you hide under the bed until your blues disappear... Try counting instead...) I wish I had an answer for you.
