We're likely to be setting temperature records here in Central Texas. Hitting the century mark and keep on going - the only good news is the air is drier so the heat index won't be making it too much worse.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Our wings are not tired.
I have to say I have been super impressed with how Tesla has handled my DIL's pregnancy. First, when she told them she was pregnant they moved her from outside in the air-conditioned, but really still hot, outside service area, to inside. Then last week one of the sales staff tested positive for Covid and they sent her to work from home until they were sure the workplace was safe for her. That and the awesome health insurance and maternity/paternity leave policies have me very grateful. They also sent all the sales staff home, but she is in service.

ION, the governor of my state may be an idiot, but my county, and Miami-Dade county both said they will only have virtual school in the Fall. (also spell check tried to make Dade Dada, which works for me)

Candidate for Buffista compound?
(My summer vacation plans depended on being allowed to cross the Canadian border and I am looking for alternatives. This one is too expensive but I think someone should buy it for me and we can all move in.)

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Ooooooooh. And commiserations, Jess - we were going to Victoria for our anniversary and instead spent the time in Balcony Vale.

That would make a fine compound! Sorry about the closed border, Jess.

Timelies all!
My parents are visiting this weekend(Mr. S's birthday is on Monday), so much cleaning needs to be done tonight.

What I need is something that's as healthy as the apple slices, and gives me the same pleasant mouth-burning feeling as the ghost pepper corn chips.

Have you tried just eating straight peppers, chrismg?
My laptop kindly informed me that it needed to plugin or it would hibernate, so I stopped work for a moment for that, fed the cat, and opened a beer. Am also congratulating myself on not answering "that sounds like a you problem" when someone in another department asked how I'd like to handle a shortshipped order. I really don't see how that's any of my business, I though.

I actually like the dried bell pepper chips they sell in the salad section, but they have basically no kick to them. And I don't like the texture of raw peppers - the crunchiness of the apple slices is part of the appeal. I suppose I could try soaking the slices in chili oil or something....
