- I know I'm being repetitive, but #%$&!, it's hot. That's really strong expletive there, just so you know. My little garage/office temperature is currently at 88 degrees. I'm trying to only run the AC at night upstairs to save on our electric bill, but I can't take it much longer.
- We got our winter gas bill this week. That's right, I'm just now getting the gas bills for Oct. '09 thru Feb. '10. I told the family they'd better enjoy the warmth now, because everyone is bundling up this winter. Those bills were painful.
- Speaking of gas...and speaking of expensive: I stopped to get gas for the van one morning last week. It was early and I was kind of not totally awake, plus most of the gas stations here are full serve, so I rarely pump my own gas. One moment of inattention and I ended up with 16 liters of diesel fuel in my unleaded van. At least I noticed it before filling up and driving away, but the tow truck and repair ended up costing over $200.
- So far, I hate August. Let's go, September. Hurry up.
- My family is currently working their way through the entire series of Rocky movies. I don't know why. I can't stand Adrian, but I love hearing "You're gonna eat lightning and you're gonna crap thunder!"
- It's almost too hot to enjoy our weekly pizza night. Almost, but not quite. That's why there's gelato.
Don't things like the mistake with the diesel make you want to pull your hair out? I hope September turns out to be a month of perfect temperatures and no calamities!
