A busy day

We got up fairly early.

We had a double bed due for pick up by freecyclers. We helped a young man and his friend who are just starting out. Cute boys.

Then I had to make a decision. It was 108 degrees at 6 PM, 115 with heat index. An outdoor ritual would be death.
I went to the Academic Reception at work and then Mudd took me out for dinner.
Yellow Tail Chardonney is quite good. The Shiraz is not my favorite.

Had a cognitive dissonance moment in BookStar. On one side of the aisle How Homosexuals Saved Civilization. On the other Liberalism as a Mental Disorder.


Did some laundry
Watched Young Frankenstein with Mel Brooks commentary. It's not really hilarious, but has its moments. The movie is gorgeous. Gene Wilder was MADE to be filmed in B&W. And he and Terri Garr have fabulous chemistry.

An open letter

Dear God:

Please explain the necessity of 108 degree days with 115 heat indexes.
Please explain why our poor butterburs flop limply along the ground, panting.
Please tell me why the hostas are burning the shade.

Most of all, please tell me why it is necessary for me to live in this overheated gulag with strontium-90 water, air that reeks of dogfood, people who are sweet to your face but mean as snakes behind your back, and a general idiocy level that approaches infinity.


Too hot and cranky.
Me.

A silly story

The phone rang. I put down my sandwich, and answered it.

"Yes?"
