Because sometimes it needs to be said.

...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...

John Donne, "Meditation XVII", Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions

Happy birthday, brian1789! Whatever you do, don't freeze! :)

It's too darn hot...

An hour ago, it was 104 degrees F in our side yard, and 94.6 in our living room, and 93.3 in my room.

My room has dropped a whopping ... .7 degrees, and is now at 92.6. It feels to be about 95 outside.

Plans to grill outside (because cooking indoors was not feasible in this heat) have been scrapped as being too hot as well, and we are going to eat inside a nice air conditioned fast food restaurant.
