we've had a bit too much of the above.
temperature has been in the triple digits for ten days in a row.
everybody is lethargic and irritable.
My thermometer is hitting mid 90s in the shade here in the afternoon. It's killing my tomatoes.
It'll be cooler in a couple of weeks once the summer rain pattern sets in. We usually get a t-storm overcast form overhead at my locale during the hottest part of the day during that season (2 PMish), we get a cooling downpour, and then the T-storms track west towards the coast with the sun, which means it is likely to stay shady until sunset.
Something creepy here.
you see all those people affected by these terrrible storms.. it makes you think that thanks to mitt romney's statewide health care plan, at least the people in mass.
were better off when they had to go to the hospital than the folks in the south.. rub a dub.

If they don't die waiting! Good use universal coverage will do if you're dead.
The average wait times for appointments in Boston for cardiology are 21 days, dermatology 54 days, obstetrics-gynecology 70 days, orthopedic surgery 40 days, and family practice 63 days.
The average cumulative wait times for the 5 specialties just mentioned are,
Boston, 50 days
Philadelphia, 27 days
Los Angeles, 24 days
Houston, 23 days
Washington, D.C., 23 days
San Diego, 20 days
Minneapolis, 20 days
Dallas, 19 days
New York, 19 days
Denver, 15 days
Miami, 15 days
Portland, 14 days
Seattle, 14 days
Detroit, 12 days
Atlanta, 11 days
Boston is dead last. Looks like you'll have a better chance of speedy care in one of them Southern places.

Best think again.
State Insurance != better health care delivery.
Simple economics.
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/opinion/op_ed/view/2011_0510romneycare_proves_failure
...a new report by the Massachusetts Medical Society finds that “more than half of the state’s primary care practices are closed to new patients, while the practices that are still accepting patients have increasingly longer wait times.”
.... Generally speaking — and it varies based on the kind of doctor — our wait times are about twice as high as the rest of the U.S., and the problem has gotten worse under Romneycare.
“Massachusetts is learning a basic lesson in economics,” Peter Suderman of Reason magazine told me yesterday. “More coverage does not equal more care.” Suderman, who has been covering Romneycare for years, says nobody familiar with simple economics should be surprised at the results.
i was reading my new w7 manual, and thought the following paragraph was hilarious!!!
others fear that microsoft will somehow exploit them through automatic.

That's why I quit giving free tech advice to anyone other than family and very close friends. I refuse to take the shit without some dollars to go with it.

Reuters has some crack headline writers.
This one is a real weinner:
How do you know Anthony Weiner is in trouble?
The liberal media has started to identify him as Republican.
He is now officially toast.

If I had any illusions left about fair reporting from the main stream media I'd be furious. But I don't!
This is hilarious!
If he was hacked, why isn't he having law enforcement investigate? Hacking a congressman's accounts is a crime.
jesus lived in heaven as a spirit person before he came to earth.
god used him as his chief spokesman.
that is why jesus is called "the word.".
So, a person cannot inherit sin from their mother?
since you all are a critical thinking bunch...i thought i'd put this question to you.. i'm a born and raised us citizen as is my husband.
ever since we left the borg almost 2 years ago (wow, time flies when you're finally having fun!
), we've paid more attention to politics.
Where do you think the US is headed?
This is well, well worth the read (30 pages). It seems to hit all the major points, and some minor ones.
