I just blocked off my vacation time at work. Three weeks, August 29-Sept 18. Now I need to figure out where to go.
West coast tour! Seattle and San Fran and LA!
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Best entry from the Police Beat in the local paper this morning:
Rick, we had one this weekend of a man who had escaped from the police running down the street, naked, with a baggie of cocaine hanging out his ass.

But obviously I'm just not a real man and don't give a fuck.
I'd be far more interested in a smart, snarky guy like you than the ideal described.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Thanks to the internets, I'm now a little worried about the social construction of felinity. I mean, are our cats feeling pressured to conform to unrealistic expectation of jumping into boxes or riding Roombas?
Well, nobody can beat Maru at the whole jumping-into-boxes thing.

Some place cool and foggy in the summer.
Emmett's school year ended on June 10th. Matilda's is ending this week, but it just rolls into summer school for her. Matilda's Kindergarten starts in mid-August, though.
In Florida it was already quite hot by March, so when school let out (usually second week of June) it felt hot, summery and free. School never started until after Labor Day because they were trying to avoid A/C costs. I think they took off more time in the summer, and there was less time for xmas break, and there was certainly nothing like Emmett's mid-February week off.
Anyway, it's a rare hot day in SF today, supposed to get into the 90s.

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

Awww... thanks!

And it's a cool, stormy day in NOLA - cloudy and only 88.

I love SF weather. Such a tiny city (eight miles by eight miles, I think) yet the weather can vary quite a bit depending where you are.

Art Crawl!!!
It's sunny and warm here.
And I have today and tomorrow off!
It's beautiful. And I will admit to not getting up until after 10. Ah, the beauty of getting back to my actual natural sleep cycle. . . only to have to get up and go to work too early on Thursday.

Yup. Not uncommon for a fifteen degree difference between The Sunset and The Mission. Two of the biggest factors in real estate here are how much cold fog the neighborhood gets (undesirable) and how much of a view you have (since there are so many hills). These are not real estate concerns in Jacksonville.
