Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
We’re he-ee-ere!
. . . And the mercury’s been pegging 107F each day we’ve been here. I’d like to smack the cheery smile off those folks who feel compelled to point out, It’s a DRY heat!
We have limited internet access until Wednesday, when our apartment finally gets hooked up. For now, it’s the $2/hour thing at Starbuck’s AT&T WiFi (or as our GPS’s British voice calls it, Wiffy!) and I don’t know when I’ll make it back.
Meanwhile, I’ve been making daily trips to Target to stock up on supplies, trips to the grocery stores, etc. Not much else to do when you don’t have cable TV or the internet. And it’s really, really creepy to be cut off from the world like this. I only just found out that Sarah Palin will be resigning as Governor some time this month. I feel so cut off. Yes, I know there are these things called newspapers, but they’re so yesterday.
I’ll be very happy when all of the various shopping chores are done and I can hole up all day long in an air conditioned room.
See ya this Wednesday.

Having lived in this crappy climate for several years/summers, I can tell you it’s not ALWAYS a dry heat. However, rule number one…keep hydrated. I don’t drink enough because I’m used to being in CA so much, but even when you don’t feel like drinking water, you have to.
I’m back in Starbucks, drinking a big cup of some sort of supposedly decaf ice tea. Trying my best . . .
