Soft tonguing, “Sasanach santach,” new shoes, etc.
Well, last week’s heatwave peaked right on schedule on Monday afternoon, and it maxed out at 108 in my town instead of the predicted 111. Granted, whichever spot in the blazing sun on my concrete patio that has the outdoor temperature sensor that’s connected to my central air system...
July 1st
Ahem… *clears throat* “Fuck Canada! Fuck Canada! With all their beady little eyes and flapping heads so full of lies… It seems that everything’s gone wrong since Canada came along… They’re not even a real country anyway!” The flags in the park across the street are at half mast...
