Oh, I hate when that happens!

yeah our humidity right now is killer.

The ice cream truck did actually stop outside our place tonite but we passed. You heard me, I PASSED UP ICE CREAM FROM THE CREEPY ICE CREAM TRUCK! It would have been soup anyhow.

Did I ever mention my cat Twix is terrified of the Ice Cream truck? She hears the distant nursery rhyme tinkly noise, her eyes grow big, the stops, thinks, then buggers off up the stairs like a bat out of hell.

One of my cousins went to the Banksy exhibit in Manchester this weekend. I'm so friggin jealous...anyway here's another creepy scaresome ice cream truck pic they took there

If you find any photos of ice cream trucks self-immolating, that would be awesome.
We're finally over our brutal heatwave in Portland. The one small thing that truly helped maintain my sanity was eating bowls of frozen blueberries. Frozen grapes might have been just as good, but that's what was in the freezer.

No heat wave here, maybe just a bunch of rain tomorrow but since this thread has goofy pictures, here's the statue of David after spending 2 years on loan to the US.

DC is a wall of heat and humidity. Walking outside is like getting slapped in the face with a hot water bottle.

I thought we were going to get storms last night as relief - but we just got heat lightning as far as I can tell. Walked the dogs at 6:30 am this morning and returned drenched. It's nice in one way, as the distance related to dog exertion is shorter, which means they're mellower all day for the Mermaid. In the winter you have to go further to achieve the same effect.

that's my favorite thing about the heat, squid. yesterday was so disgusting that i took harvey in the morning to run errands with me at petco and lowes (he walked once through each air-conditioned store) and he was exhausted for the day. in the fall we hike for hours and he's still rarin' to go.

egh. it was gross all day here, then i went to boston where it was also swampy (i think the heat is so much grosser in the city- too many bodies)
and didn't get any relief until the skies opened up on my way home. which made for a delightful ride home through the downpour in the middle of the night.

Bump



For those triple digiter's.







From time to time, the usual moment seems terribly beautiful.

Getting a bit self centered are we?
