Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Do you mean the dust storms, Matt? [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I thought dust storms were a normal part of the entertainment?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I'm at the part of my four-day weekend where I realize I don't have any plans with anyone except my mother, and is it too lame to start asking local people if they are in town now?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Holy Fuckarino, it got up to 104 in San Francisco today. That's the all-time record. (Going back to 1874, and the oldest weather station in California.)

Our apartment is relatively cool so when I went outside I was surprised by how quickly I sweated through my shirt. And I remember thinking, "I don't remember it *ever* being quite this hot. This feels like getting out of the car at the gas station on I-5 in August hot."

And it was.

Doesn't it seem like weather would be better if we could spread it out a little more?

Our wings are not tired.

It is supposed to be 36 here tonight. Weather = weird.
