Yuck

 Orange heat warning. The weekend was hideous and today is no better. The warning has to end soon. I hope we have all found cool shelter. Meanwhile, the test driving continues. I've tried out a Sentra, a Venue, and a Niro. Soon I'll be revisiting the Civic. The last time I settled behind the driver's seat of a Civic was 2008. I'm hovering between the Venue and the Niro.

 Been doing a lot of reading. Have any of you read 'Notes from underground'? The protagonist must be having a midlife crisis and everyone else in the story is a jerk. The protagonist whinges a lot too. Russians. Brushed some nasty matting out of the beast's fur yesterday. She purred the whole time. I hope I didn't hurt her any.

 Ugh. This perkele humidity. That's for the Finns in the audience. I love knowing bits and pieces of other languages. Pretty weak polymath, no? Okay. Hope my few crew is keeping cool.

BYE. 

91 year difference

 July 1, 1867. July 4, 1776. A difference of 91 years. The last province joined Confederation in 1949. The last states joined the Union in 1959. Canada was born later but fully formed earlier. Just a few factoids on this July 4th. Reading a grotesque romp called "Quackery". All kinds of fun stuff like Radithor, bloodletting, and of course; the labotomy. Among other things.

 Did you know that Spanish fly, besides being a legendary aid for sexytime, was also used to raise blisters on the skin? Blisters supposedly drew out the infection. All kinds of lovely stomach-twisting shenanigans. I had to take a break from reading about antimony because the emetophobe in me started shrieking.

 Halfway through this fantastic account of some very dangerous stuff that we thought could help. Oh, and heroin was once used to stop morphine addiction. Ya learn summat new every day, don't you? Relaxing and test-driving vehicles. Buy or lease? So much to consider. So that's what's going on with me. Hope my few but fabulous are having a good day.

BYE.
