Since Wednesday, we went from living in the Shire to living in the Swamp. This is just disgusting. It's been over 90 for the last 2 days and 75% humidity. The walls are sweating. The Beest has done nothing but sleep and eat and I've done little more. I have got to get the fans out; there just wasn't Gal Friday time this week. Perhaps this will break with thunderstorms promised tomorrow. But I've heard that too many times to believe it. Bratt is a wet gully along the Connnecticut. What makes it somewhat sheltered and so green is what makes it a still steamtable room in Summer. The best I can say is that the wet has cut down on the allergies. I only sneezed a couple times today and the Beest hasn't sneezed at all.
Still, this is doodly compared to what the weather's doing out west.
Well, I hope it's comfortable where you are. Settle in and surf.
Maybe it's the wind?

Loved the Beatles clip. A most practiced group, nearly a single voice. And the Big Bang connection to humanity, to all life forms --we should never stop being astonished at what we are. Hope you get a weather break soon. It was 102 on the pumphouse door today!
Mega thanks for introducing me to Bill Hicks and Robert Webb.
We are going to have to develop a whole new kind of human being if we expect this species to think long term and beyond themselves. Such a selfish critter humans are.
Loved the Beetles clip. They look so young and fresh. Thanks to stills and videos we can stay young forever.
I, also, am hoping that the weather people are right and cool, and more pleasant weather will return. Today is supposed to be better and I hope that is also the same where you are. If it isn't, call the Agency on Aging and see if they can help you out with fans.
Geo.- my friend Paul gave me Shout!, a really good Beatles bio, and I'm always fascinated at how they became Them and changed things. It's been much cooler since the huge storm we had, hallelujah. Hope it's better by you and the fires are nowhere nearby.
EC- Bill Hicks is a hero of mine. I discovered Robert Webb because of David Mitchell, his comedy partner, who's one of the QI regulars. Peep Show is all on Youtube, and very funny.
Arleen- It's much cooler right now, thanks. I hope that building collapse didn't involve anyone you care about. Man! There's too much tragedy in the world.
Lawless! OMG somehow your comment slipped between! Yeah, humans need to do a consciousness evolution pretty damn skippity.
I'll always love The Beatles, and they will stay forever young. As will we.
