Somethings you just can't invent!

In Virginia's 5th Congressional District, Bigfoot erotica has become an issue.

I'm serious. I am not making this up!

And to show you now naїve I am, I didn't even know there was such a thing as Bigfoot erotica!

err... a correction

It is day eight, not seven. I am delrious!

day seven over 90°

It is 96° right now.... high is supposed to be 99°.

Help, I am melting!

Forgive me, for I have sinned.

Late yesterday, I turn on the air conditioner.

I was hot, I was sweaty. It was our sixth day in a row of 90°+ weather. The house was hot! As I lay, near comatose on the floor, I thought to myself, “You have the power, you have A/C, use it!!!”

I dragged myself to the closet where the remote is held… pulled the instruction manual off the table. Damn near pulled the table over, but at the last second averted disaster. A few quick hitting the tabs, and presto.

Life is good.

Temporary relief!

I was actually cold this morning.

But that is all coming to an end! The nine day forecast!

Hell is coming, and it is coming soon!

And yes, I know how to use the AC now!

Day six.

Today was supposed to bring relief.

It did, slightly!

6 degrees less than 100 is still hot.

Bring on the ice!

It is official!

Well, technically it is unofficial. But 100° in the Upper Valley. Fifth day in a row above 90°!

This too hot for reality! It is like a scene from crossing the River Styx. There is no valid reason for it being this hot…. By 11AM I had to evacuate the yard!

And no…  still no AC.  Does that make me a Viking? They never used AC!

Scorcher in the Upper Valley

Today was my fourth day in a row with high temperatures above 90°. I wilt at 74°.

I don't know if I am proud or ashamed to admit that I haven't turned on the air conditioning yet. Would that be a sign of toughness or senility? Or both?

Praised be the mighty ice cube!!!

I's going to Carhenge

Karla & I made our reservations today. Watch out Alliance, NE... we are on our way!

Parents missing: children missing.

This is an atrocity. Our government (yes, us… the good guys!) ripped children from their parents arms, then misplaced them!

Do not let this fuck up die!

Until every child is reunited with a parent, scream out loud!

Damn, and I don’t even like kids!

Happy Birthday, Wayno

I miss you!

20 years ago

I married this man.

Okay, not technically.

But in reality.

I still love you Richard!

Adjusting to life with Billie Jean

Billie Jean is a sweet kitty. She is beautiful. She is remarkably good about playing without spilling blood on the floor. Yes, she has drawn blood, but rarely… and just when we both went over the top!

She’s not a lap cat. Although, she did jump up onto my lap the evening as I was sitting on my (some-assembly-may-be-required) Adirondack! Shocked me! She demands a clean litter box. She grooms herself like it is going out of style.

And she loves it when I get down on the floor with her.

And she loves my hair. More than once, she has pulled my hair, tried to eat it and just generally enjoyed her time playing on the top of my head!

No other sentient being on planet Earth likes my hair. Damn, that cat is good!

According to NBC News:

A church in Indianapolis, Indiana has a tribute to our Zero Tolerance program at out southern border!

Technically, it is kinder than having baby Jesus in a cage by himself!

But good god…. there is some humanity in the Christian Church!
