Dog Days


Along with the stifling heat that has settled like a lead balloon on our little burg this past week,has arrived the much anticipated and refreshing Delta Breeze.Whipped up through a fortuitous barometric miracle that occurs points South,and carries with it some small relief from the oppressive Summer temps here in O-Town.
Still,the days are long,and there are times when the second hand on the big clock at work seems to edge backward,as if to mock my impatience.
Bastard clock.

All clocks are bastards. It's hot as blazes here, too, so I hope that Delta Breeze is headed my way.

Serena Joy-It's hard to generate any kind of enthusiasm when the air,and the clock seem to stand still.
I watched Gizmo the cat laying in the shade while blue jays raided her food dish.She was all like ,"Screw it..It's too friggin' hot"..

Poor Gizmo. I feel her pain. And I know exactly how she feels. Sometimes you'd rather starve and stay cool than move and risk generating additional heat.:-)

All I get out of this post is that there are bound to be more shirtless photos. To which I say a resounding WOOHOO!

It's hotter than hell here and all the breeze dose is make the steam blow into the house. I hate winter, but this is a close second.

It's been unbearable in the desert of Las Vegas. 116 the norm nowadays. I did my first podcast check it out here...

It's sleight-of-second hand with the clock. It's drawing your attention to the seemingly faulty second-hand while the Hour-hand is spinning backwards fast enough to make Rod Stirling dizzy.

serena joy-Plus!..she knows she has a self-replenishing food dish.

Hat-How did I know that you'd break a post about the weather down to it's most prurient interperatation..You Rock!

horizon-I really do think about y'all in the southern half when I get cranky about the weather.4 months ago I was griping about the cold.
I am keeping well,and trust me,drinking plenty of fluids. :)

rube-..and yet Gizmo always seems to know when it's naptime.

lorraine-SEE!...That's why I keep you around..more ice cream please.

Rosie-That's not steam,..that's secondhand smoke ;P

danielle-Holy Crap!..116?..just shoot me now.
Hey,I went to your podcast,and internet nazi's said I couldn't listen to it...I think it's 'cause I ndon't have an I-pod..

allan-..shit...and I'm so easily distracted,you're probably right.

The rain followed me down to the beach while it stayed dry here. Now it's moved west and is raining here. Something's not right.

Well...(chuckles) I am nothing if not prurient right?
Now if you'll excuse me, I must away to find out what prurient means. (stupid smart Sling and his stupid dictionary breath...hmpf!)
