Another hot, miserable day in store for us here again today. This of course has prompted the obligatory “news” stories about how to survive in the heat. You know, don’t leave your dog in the car, stay inside if you’ve got a\/c, drink lots of water and avoid coffee and alcohol (why don’t I just shoot myself). It’s been nice and cool inside my house, though I shudder to think of what this will do to my utility bill. I may need to replace the bearings on my electric meter. I think we’ll be taking a pass from the park today. I took the dogs out yesterday, but it was just for a short trip down to the water for a quick swim (for them, not me, unfortunately), and then back home. Neither one of them seemed too disappointed about the short walk. Oh well, I took tomorrow off, so I just need to get today over with.<\/p>\n
