I’m very tired today and am wearing heat-related malaise like a heavy blanket.  I’ve not even caught up on the news yet, and right now I have no interest in doing so.  I will grab some lunch in a bit, but for now I’m going to get a beer, go sit in the bedroom with The Kids, and watch the avian menagerie and squirrels I’ve enticed to visit us with a plethora of goodies.  Thus far, we’ve seen some mourning doves, a male cardinal, mockingbirds, starlings, sparrows, and a few squirrels.  It’s better than television and sure as hell a lot more relaxing.  That’s what I need right now: something wonderful and beautiful that requires no thought.  For that, nature’s the best show in town.

I’ll be back online a bit later this afternoon or evening and will post a few things then — perhaps.
