You know, if just you'd stop smoking that stuff it might still be possible to save what's left of your memory. :P


But seriously folks... IS IT HOT ENOUGH FOR YA?

We've had heat indices over 100 degrees F here for several days running as well... in addition to that terrible storm system that moved through here overnight on Friday. Probably the same one that did such terrible damage to parts of the Eastern seaboard over the weekend. Straight line winds, I don't know how strong, I was on the way home and it was blowing street signs off their poles and everything that wasn't nailed down was airborne.

Last night we even had a hail storm.

My refrigerator decided to stop cooling its insides late last week and they couldn't get here to fix/replace it until today. And I was really disgruntled about no ice, no cold drinks, and nothing but takeout food, until I saw all the people without any power at all. At least I still have lights and A/C.
