I agree that i really should not need AC in PDX. If i enjoyed this kind of weather i would have stayed in Va. There was much flaggellation when i purchased the window unit, but i was getting used to night shift and day sleeping and it felt justified.

Breaking news! Many in Clackamas lost power for a few hours today. Old people might die in hot weather and should be checked on frequently. We need to stay hydrated during Hotpocalypse. Yeah, yeah, yeah, i get it.

Did you get my e-mail?

Yes, I did. See: stupid. Thanks much, and if I can get my brain in gear I'll ping you with something tomorrow.

I have probably a dozen personal emails and various projects that need attention, but I'm just...dumb right now. I had to go in to work first thing in the morning to deal with some early-Monday stuff that couldn't be palmed off on anyone else, and then got caught with a couple of phone calls and scheduling snafus that required actual thoughtful, patient work, and by the time I came back home at 10:30 I was practically drooling.

Yeah, it's 102 degrees here right now. Which is just insane hot.

So I went to the doctor and oh yeah, I totally had a concussion. But my brain is no longer scrambled and still spicy. Wicked bruising but that's all. I have 5 mg Flexeril now and have taken one. I'm a little relieved that I passed the spicy brain test. And wear your seat belts, seriously.

Congratulations on your brain spice retention, Cass.

Did you get my e-mail?

Yes, I did. See: stupid.

No stupid; I just wanted to make sure you got it, because I'm happy to help.

That's a relief, Cass. Swift healing to you nd JZ and anyone else who needs it.

Good to hear your pretty head is gonna make it, Cass.

Random political moment. I'm visiting next door with my parents and sister and we are discussing Republicans shooting themselves in the foot. This conversation after watching the Palin reports. So I mention how surprised I was that Gov Crist had come out against Sotomayor when he was likely looking to be the next FL senator. Mom mentions that she was surprised that he got married recently. I say he really had to be married to go further in his party. Then my 88 yo mom says, "but I thought he was gay." Yes mom, gay Republicans have to get married. I thought my sister was going to choke laughing.

Aw, thanks, -t, but this is just your regular garden variety toddler's-daycare-germ-pool cold. Cass needs the vibes more (though, man, it would be nice to go two months without a round of low-grade ick).

Have you heard the latest - state senator who was sleeping with his 22 year old intern? Story came out because her boyfriend tried to blackmail him and the senator went to the cops. [link]

Gud linked to it in Natter, I think Vortex. I particularly loved the bit about his current (second) wife also having been a former intern with whom he worked.

Only way this would've been better is if had been a male intern he was sleeping with.
