A guide to my emotions

Summer is here for reals!

It is HOT in my little ol' town. Well...right at this moment it is not hot, but it will be. I am dreading the rest of the week. On these hot days, I love going to work because there is air conditioning. At home, we are without A/C.

Here is an image I just got moments ago for the current temperature. There is a severe weather alert in effect stating we will met and immediately burst into flames if we step outside.



Here is the current weather for Dubai, one of the places I hope to visit some day.No severe weather alert for them even though the temperatures are about the same. They have solar-ray flame shields there.

4th of July

It's that time of year. People have been playing with their fireworks at all hours of the day for the last couple of days. I personally don't mind it. In fact, I look out the window to see if I can see what the neighbors are setting-off so I can enjoy it too.

I an attempt to not repeat last year, we are going to the St. Paul Rodeo. I have no idea what to expect, but I have heard it is fun. It's about time we go, too. After living here for about 9 years, you'd think I've made it out to this event. Other than Zapote in Costa Rica, this is the first real rodeo I've ever been to.

Hopefully it will be fun. There is a chicken barbecue this church is hosting out there; we're going to try it to see if it the meal is really as memorable as "they" claim it is. And I mean: memorable good--not memorable bad.

We'll see.
