And our central AC fan decided to die last Sunday. Aside from the heat, the humidity from all our rain yesterday is turning the basement into (a relatively cool) swamp. Gah.

Trust me, the dry part makes a huge difference. But yes, one it gets above 108-110 it's just damn hot. You can bake things on the sidewalk, burn yourself severely touching anything metal or dark colored (like a steering wheel) and the streets actually start to melt

oh, just small,elegant and sharp. like something you'd imagine juliet would stab herself with (i think someone bought it for me as a theatre memento - tho way too sharp to be used on stage...)

six letters: ORD TSA

(actually it's not like we need letter openers any more... we just think it's odd - and not a little alarming - that a five year old palmed this thing out of drawer, snuck it upstairs, hid it in his luggage and - apparently - brought down five TSA agents and three chicago cops on his hapless father.

fortunately - as they are MN white and look like norse blond gods - the authorities could clearly see it was An Accident).
