Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Thanks y’all.

Epic- so sorry about your cousin. Glad the chemo remains tolerable and fingers crossed the drain comes out soon

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We have a cherry tomato plant that is now producing ripe tomatoes. So far, two have ripened and been eaten by Mr. S.

Good to hear you are doing well, msbelle.

Epic, I am sorry, and understand your mixed emotions on your cousin. Good that the communication is better with your health care team on the drain.

Mmmm, tomatoes! Enjoy.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Downstairs is 80 degrees and rising because one of the A/C units is out. Thankfully we still have a second story with a working A/C. But I am grumpy.

Further note: When it's 100 degrees outside, it's really easy to overheat quickly.

Is now a good time to mention it was in the 40s when I got up this morning, and is currently 68, probably the high for the day? This is why I leave Florida in the summer. I turn on the space heater this morning and heated the seat in my car when I drove to the gym!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, when it was nearly 100 here on Sunday, I went out to play with my band, carrying a bottle of water. I also bought an iced drink on the way. I basically finished the iced drink before I was done with the 15-minute walk, and finished my water half-way through the session! Luckily, other people had brought water to share, so I did make it home alive. (Do we have any other brass players here? Nothing came out of my spit valve the whole time!!)

Whoa, nothing coming out of the spit valve is scary!

I was kind of under-hydrated all weekend. I chose not to bring an empty water bottle with me to the airport because I was afraid of it getting taken from me at security )a groundless fear, I now know) and then there was no place open where I could buy water once I was inside, but I got something to drink at every opportunity on the plane and went and bought a bottle of seltzer once I got to the city (I also decided to travel with no toiletries which I still think was a good idea, so I needed to get a toothbrush and so forth anyway) but after I drank that I forgot to carry it around with me when I was out and about, but I just took every opportunity to buy drinks which seemed to work out okay. I deliberately did not try to find out what the temperature was and stayed in the shade as much as I could and there generally seemed to be a breeze, which was great. I did remember to bring it to the airport coming home, but JFK does not seem to have those filling stations anywhere so I had to fill it it a drinking fountain like a barbarian. But I do know how to do that. And once i got home my dad gave me a refillable insulated water bottle that can become my official potential sacrifice to TSA for the future.
