Should we call the police or a fireman? does it make you want to retire man?

Retire man has the ability to move to Florida but his weakness is he loses the ability to THINK sensibly. (maybe too political let me edit that... much better. )

It's a very tragic back story for sure.
Most of the day ahead of me is sleep so YES! oh and then when I get up time for my pathfinder game!
It's been hot out here for days. Today I can at least exist in my room without keeping the fan on.

I would sell you all for a week above 80 degrees and without a drop of rain.

Well here in TN our weather is Bi-polar. Cold and rainy to hot and parched at a drop of a hat. It gets so humid.

I was about to start rousing people from their slumber to get ready for work and school and then I remembered school is over for Crookshanks, the General is on vacation, and Tiny T-Rex only has today.
So, someone else can walk the dog today.
Solid rain? Sleet, hail, snow?!?!?!?

Just one single sheet of ice.
The temp is supposed to be 15-20 degrees (F) cooler today than it has been, and I was going to open the house before I left for work. Then I saw it's supposed to rain for just about the entire stretch of time I'll be in the office today. *sigh*

Some pretty solid rain here today.
A colossal puddle, or two-dimensional pond, falling from the sky

Please don't say things like "colossal puddle" around Drejk. He'll get ideas.

Only if you sell us to a place with sensible weather.

Nope, I sign off as soon as the kids get out of school for the summer.
Well, after three 90°F+ days in a row, today we're supposed to be back down to 76°F today. Does that count as "reasonable"?

If I were capable of dark magic, one might well accuse me of sending our horrid Texas weather to California and exchanging weather patterns with them. It's been 70's and breezy here since the storm hit on Sunday, no more rain, absolutely lovely.
And what am I doing with it?
Killing myself with yard work.
I'm seriously considering taking a second Allegra today, the histamine reaction is so severe. But I've got to get this done by the 19th to avoid getting fined.
It would have been nice to know, when we moved in 10 months ago, that were were responsible for the service alley behind the back fence. I don't even know how long ago any work was done on it before we moved in. It's bad.
So instead of doing a couple of hours a day and continuing to have my allergies eat my soul, I'm just going to take advantage of the weather and try to knock it all out today so I can be done with it. Then I can move on to the garage.

Well, I might end up being pretty noisy today.
The "three sentence summary" of my job is:
(1) The IT team provisions me with a development image.
(2) I spend 2 hours prepping the image for my work.
(3) I work.
The IT team won't give me a dedicated image; instead they give me one that gets wiped every Monday and Wednesday, meaning I'm doing that 2-hour prep work at least twice a week; a massive waste of my time.
And both yesterday afternoon and this morning the image crashed, meaning I can't work at all.
I've notified my manager, but sitting around doing nothing because other teams are preventing me from working is... irritating to me...

In a bit of a plot twist I believe the younger mowers might be planning on hunting one of the Tylers in the cornfield.
In fairness, he is pretty lazy and treats his workers like s*$!.
I know if I had to work with him he wouldn't be coming back (he can Uber a ride back).

I suddenly have an urge to wipe the computer *right* after they tell you it's ready.

image files sound familiar!
But for different reasons than you might think.

Oh, noes! My spam e-mail was hacked! Three times by three different hackers! They want a few hundred dollars in bitcoin... And they kept a note of pornsites I frequent!
...
I am sort of sorry for them, for if they think what I watch on internet is shocking, they must have a very bland life.
Funny, each one of them claims a different password to my spam e-mail, though...

One of those "think it through" moments:
(1) GothBard noted that traffic was extremely light this morning.
(2) NobodysHome commented that it's because school is out, and traffic always lightens up dramatically during the summer when school is out
(3) NobodysHome opined, "Who the **** drives their kids to school on the freeway, anyway?"
(4) NobodysHome realized that it's not that the people driving their kids to school are missing; it's that now that the kids are out of school, large swaths of people are taking summer vacations and are therefore not on the road.
A big "oooooooh" moment.
(Yeah, I won't be cluttering the pathway between my computer and the kitchen in July, so I'm sure Redheaded Girl Next Door will be delighted not to have to run into me. (She's housesitting/catsitting for us.))

My drive to work is a lot easier in the summer. No school buses stopping every 32 feet. The road I live on is 3 miles long between stop lights and nearly all of the streets coming off in between are dead ends. Once you get stuck behind the buses, you're just stuck.
Edit: The only two streets that are not dead ends that come off my street...one is 1 block from the northern stop light and the other is 1 block from the southern stop light. So yes, 3 miles of street with no escape.

All I know is, Bambi and The Lion King are pretty much the same movie.
I beg to differ. I know the Lion King has a plot. The plot of MacBeth, in fact.
I can't say the same of Bambi.
I'm not sure it doesn't have a plot because I gave up 40 minutes in, but I can't say that I know it does.
Huh, wonder if that explains my commute this morning being pretty light.
They added another construction zone between our job site and the shop this morning (bringing the total to 5).

Different colored concrete in the roads would be my guess.

Dear Friend/Relative/Acquaintance,
It has now been 3 years since I started begging everyone to STOP giving me physical presents of any sort, especially t-shirts or mugs.
In spite of these repeated requests, I find that you have "gifted" me with yet another mug/t-shirt/trinket because, "I thought it was cute/it's small and harmless/you can always use another mug/t-shirt."
So, congratulations. I have given your gift an honored place in my trash can, unused. You have contributed to global warming, the global landfill problem, wasted your money, and pissed me off, all in a simple stupid gesture because you are incapable of listening to your supposed "friend".
Please never attempt to give me a gift again. It will receive the same treatment.
Sincerely,
NobodysHome
EDIT: Yeah, with June being Father's Day and my birthday, people cannot resist sending me mugs or T-shirts. In the last 2 weeks I've thrown out over 60(!!) mugs. And they STILL give them to me. this article did a so-so job of it, but really:
- Take me out to dinner or see a movie with me
- Do the chores and don't ask me for anything so I can have some free time
- Pay attention to what I *do* buy and get me a gift card or something
The whole, "We're going to ignore your desperate pleas and keep shipping you crap," has got to stop.

You sound like the General's dad.
Apparently he likes me the most because I've never gotten him a single thing.

Well, we have a TINY house and I've spent the last month dealing with the storage facility of 50 years of family crap that no one else in the family wanted to deal with. Add to that that I'm over 50 and well-off enough that when I really want something I buy it and I just don't feel the need to get anything.
My dad was the same: The best gift we ever got him was an empty box.

Oh, I agree with you 100 percent, which is why I respect her dad's wishes.

Speaking of which, I think I just got my best travel advice ever:
"Just take all those clothes and socks that have little stains on them, or that are a little worn out, or that are missing buttons, or are otherwise decent but you hardly wear them because xxx, and pack all of them, and then just go on the trip and throw out the clothes as you wear them.
That way, your luggage has room for the crap you know you're going to buy there, and you get rid of all your old clothes at the same time."

Just roads, nothing special.
In Wisconsin summer is also called road construction season, unlike in Illinois where they set up a bunch of cones and then just leave it like that until October.

"You can never drive in Wisconsin, in winter the roads are covered in ice or cracked and breaking, in the summer they're being rebuilt" - The General, on why she prefers living in the city.
Last year for Father's Day my kids gave me a penny taped to a banana with a paper plate on which was scrawled, "We love you Dab!" in crayon.
I was delighted.
But I did throw out everything except the banana, which I ate.
