So says Joe Jackson in "Sunday Papers".and who am I to disagree? Before I launch into a New Wave reverie, let's take a look at that world outside.
Today my friend Wayne is giving one of his books away with any Kindle purchase of his new title. Details:

It's very moist and the days are miserably hot with no rain.Sleeping patterns have changed entirely. The Shire is home to some new people and they're not like the pre-existing population. There is noise late at night. The Fire Dept was here a couple hours ago. I don't agree with mixed population housing.
However, it's still Summer (holy crap July 4th is a week and a half gone by already) so I can't really give a manticore's scrote.
And Welcome Kick! You found me, sistah!

HA! I like your intros to the articles better than the articles themselves. We finally got some rain here. Late every afternoon for about a week, lots of rain. Everything is green again, our rain barrel is overflowing, and the air is heavy with humidity, but at least the temperatures have dipped way down into the nineties.
Diagramming sentences - Nope! Not taught here. Surprise, surprise, surprise!!!
The story that touched me was about the late, great, Woodie Guthrie.
I love the article on the mind-reading machine, especially this bit:"Sometimes there’s an image that prompts a physical response, such as pressing a button, to show the subject is paying attention."
If paying attention is required for this thing to work, I believe I've already perfected immunity.
Woody Guthrie was a uniquely talented musician.
Sounds like your summer can't end fast enough!
Susan- Haha! Yeah, the temp dipping down to the nineties is why I moved so far north, only for it to catch up here 17 years later! At last you got rain. That helps.
Niecely- I thought as much. How can kids learn anything without the rudiments?
Arleen- Woody was one of a kind, wasn't he?
Geo- Me too, but I wouldn't do it cuz I'm ornery that way.
Susan- Woody had more heart than most religious types these days. And yeah, Summer is a test, only a test... It'll seem to have been quite short come February.
