I'm writing copy for a Regency-set historical romance today, so now I want to frame the whole dress code document in Regency terms -- "No scandalous decolletage, if you please, and be modest in your presentation of wrist bone and throat..."
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It hit 101 at the airport. Currently claims to be 104 out towards Catonsville. And whoever determines the forecast the weather widget uses had better just be fucking around with the 108 forecast for tomorrow. 108 is bad with no humidity. We have lots of humidity.
edit: airport just updated to be 104. Seriously.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ann, that's a ferret.
100 in DC. Was 102 a while ago.
Thanks to all for the wishes for Max. Still waiting on the detailed report. (Which is actually coming from Colorado, not the West Coast. But time zones still an issue. Also that the vet treating Max is taking an extra-long weekend.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha ha ha! The Globe has a stupid "it's so hot..." blog post, and someone replied "Get over it...it's 119 in Baghdad." [link] People are awesome.

I am amused that after all the dire warnings about how we would shrivel up in the heat (and make no mistake, it's been hot since we moved down, one of the hottest Junes on record) but since it's been Heat Wave Central up north it's been (relatively- 80s) cool and rainy down here.
Rewatching The Wedding Job which I do believe is my favorite Leverage episode.

grammar question:
...., the rising cost of healthcare and healthcare spending has been on the forefront of political and economic agendas...
That should "have" not "has" right? This is my boss's dissertation proposal, and her advisors have read it, so I am questioning myself.
