I’m pretty sure there are no longer any 7-Elevens around where I live anymore (a quick search tells me the closest one is about 10 miles away from me). But if you have one near you, you can go get a free Squishy<\/strike> Slurpee today, because it’s 7\/11. It also happens to be my anniversary – 18 years. I’m celebrating by being back at work after 10 days off (though I was on call this weekend, so I was only “off” in the sense that I wasn’t getting paid). Fortunately for my wife – this, coincidentally, is her anniversary as well – and the dogs, she’s off today. <\/p>\n
We had an unusual day yesterday – for the first time in longer than I can recall, it was actually cool out and it rained (a little bit – just enough to make the weeds reach for the sky – the grass is still brown and brittle, especially over the leach field). It felt very strange (and enjoyable) to be cool for a day. Sadly, it won’t last long. Today is supposed to be normal (mid eighties) and then it’s back up into the nineties again for the rest of the week. And no rain, except for maybe a pop-up thunderstorm here or there, which will just make it even muggier out.<\/p>\n
We’re not really used to things being this hot and dry around here. I mean, if I wanted this nonsense, I’d move to Texas or something. But I think I’d stay away from Texas ‘cuz I think there’s gonna be a race riot down there (but not limited to there, unfortunately) pretty soon.<\/p>\n
Of course, once President Trump takes over, he’ll clear all this nastiness up. I hear he’s a race uniter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
