We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Black coffee:

Random work stuff. I exported my email contacts to clean it up before importing them to new mail client. How do I have 3 completely different contacts named Daniel Cohen. Also, good grief. What a chore.

Also, how bad a person am I that I wish a hurricane to hit Jacksonville during the GOP convention? Not a bad one, just a good downpour to prevent the new hairbrained scheme of having thousands of people gather outdoors in August in Florida. Enough to force them to cancel this madness.

I've seen things where people point out that Jacksonville, in August, is less than pleasant outdoors. Hot, humid, frequent rains ... I think a hurricane might be redundant.

There is tropical messiness almost every day in August. It doesn't even have to be a named storm.

I just googled it and average temperature in August 91F with average rainfall of 7.08" in Jacksonville. Sounds about right.

They have lost their minds, but we already knew that.

Toddson, that reminds me of a discussion from a while back...on Livejournal maybe?...of what a zombie movie would look like if it was clearly a metaphor for climate change. The consensus was something like, "People keep denying the slooooooooooooowly rising number of zombies are a problem."

Because that's what this is, of course. It's the whole climate change denial thing all over again, with the timescale compressed to months or weeks instead of years.

You're absolutely right, same thing, just slower and with much higher stakes.

Not to worry, when it gets warmer it will go away.

Well, we have a hero ... with his own theme song.

"General, the Zombies have overrun Houston and Dallas isn't far behind. The situation isn't much better in Florida and Arizona. Where is the President?"

I can't take much joy in knowing that so many of these Denialists are going to get sick sooner than later. Because they're going to take so many with them.
