The Sun'll Come Out Tamale
Is anybody else in So Cal pretty sure they were kidnapped and left in the Everglades in a perfect replica of their house?

My pug is not happy and neither is the black Peke I'm taking care of.
We are miserable. We are sleeping in the living room and pugs who are notorious cuddles, won't fucking touch me. I feel like a jilted wife without her husbands affection.
Is he cheating on me with the fan?

The actually unlucky one tonight, now back at his place, is Gregg, who went for drinks with a friend at the HMS Bounty on Wilshire near Normandie, where they have yet to install air conditioning (and they've been open for decades).

My poor puppy is just miserable, I am as well. 102 at the beach is no joke when you don't have AC! My daughter and her boyfriend made a couple of redneck swamp coolers the other day. As someone who likes warm weather, this is too much! If I wanted these kinds of temps, I'd go to the river.

Another reason to move to Florida: we have air conditioning.
And we're only going to barely top 80F today. Of course, in a month, we'll be topping 95F reliably, so...

Yeah, right now in the South, we have jacket weather. It's been years and years since it's been this cool this late in the season. Yesterday on the way home from work, I passed the neighborhood pool and saw the teenagers undergoing lifeguard training in preparation for the pool's opening in two weeks. Those poor kids must have been freezing.

I'm pretty sure you haven't been there. It's one of the more beautiful places, and totally free of drunks peeing on your fence, loud neighbors and postmen who won't deliver your mail.
Suck it up. A little variety might let you appreciate your position more. Oh, wait, it has!

"God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Inda-naplis in the Summertime..."
It hailed on 4 separate occasions this afternoon while I was in the city. We have a frost warning for tonight, and a thundersnow seems likely.
This is Indy 500 time, when we traditionally fry eggs on the pavement.
As a former farmer, I'm very attuned to weather and season. These persistant weather anomalies are making me profoundly uncomfortable down in my lizard-brain. I'm expecting a new "Religion" (or Arts movement) to sprout soon, as the malaise metastasizes.
