Another wintry summer morning here in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Ohio. No matter how Steve baits me I will not be criticizing any pending legislative efforts, no matter how disastrous -- I know the Stasi has eyes. And hey, we're all in it together!

Just brought Da Chimpz to their day camp. Out the window I see my lawn is just about completely brown. Mid-summer norm, but I always thought it was the heat that does it. It'll pick up again next month -- just as the weather gets even cooler and we have even less desire to be outside. That's when the grass will be lush. Figures.

The weather stations haven't reported any atmospheric disturances on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. But have they measured for psychic disturbances? Someone, please report...
