Our wings are not tired.
TV Land is running a Night Court marathon.
Oh fun! I have lots of sitting on my butt work to do today. That should help.

According to the NYTimes, yesterday was the hottest August 13th in recorded NYC history (which began for temperatures in 1869). It was the hottest day period since August 9th, 2001, and the longest string of 95+ days since 1955.

Here in MA we're at 77 degrees... with a dewpoint of about 76.
Really? Cause it was still stuffily miserably hot in bed. But I guess it'll take some time to seep all the way into my bedroom.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm watching 84 Charing Cross Road (bizarre things OnDemand gets me into) which makes quite a point of Londoners being rationed in 1950, which surprised me because I thought it was a war thing. Then again, what the hell do I know?
