Monday, Monday...

 Where to start?

Start with politics?

The Emmys?

or

the latest attempt on TFG?

For me, it starts with those infamous Watergate quotes...

What did he know? And when did he know it?

He being the shooter this time, and not TFG, because while I'm no conspiracy theorist, I find it too intriguing that the alleged shooter sat waiting for 12 hours, and would have had a 50-80 yard shot at the tee box on the next hole TFG was going to be at! Now all of this is based on news reports and my own active imagination that comes from reading far too many mysteries and spy novels.

(The above was written to allay any possible thoughts and/or considerations of any culpability on my or any of my known associates' part.)

On a happier note, the New Orleans Saints beat the fuck out of the Dallas Cowgirls Cowboys in DALLAS, 44-19!!!!

Oh, and I didn't watch the Emmys.

September 11, 2001

9/11 

I hope you'll click on the link above because Bob listed all the reasons why we should always remember what happened 23 years ago.

Even stupider hot!

 It's Monday and we can expect a high of 103 with a low of 78! September can be hot, but this is crazy weather. Fires have names, the Line Fire has exploded in San Bernadino County (not close to here), and the Bridge Fire in San Gabriel Canyon has caused road closures and evacuations (not far, but also not close). On Saturday there were rolling blackouts in Pasadena (close by, but didn't affect us) caused by higher than normal electrical usage due to AC use. We'll see how things go today. Tomorrow should see a slight dip in daytime temps, and hopefully will start the gradual decline in temps, so that we're closer to normal Fall temps in SoCal. 

Until then, I'm going to continue to talk about the weather.

Yeah, I'm going to be that lame-ass bitch.

it's stupid hot here!

 Since this heat wave started, I have been outside for exactly 10 minutes. To be clear, those 10 minutes were NOT consecutive. In fact, they were not even on the same day! I take heat advisories from the county very seriously, I even carried my emergency inhaler in my pocket when I did venture out! When they say "Stay the fuck inside" I do and happily. Not even the birds are flying! We usually have a flock of green parrots going back to their trees every evening to roost, but they've even checked into the cooling centers!

We can only hope this is not a trend that will be repeated soon, but I fear this is just the beginning of extreme weather everywhere.

Today marked the Opening Day of (American) Football!  My favorite team, the New Orleans Saints beat the Carolina Panthers, 47-10! Today we'll also be cheering on the Las Vegas Raiders in their match against the Chargers (formerly of San Diego and now taking up residence here in Los Angeles) (Can you tell they aren't a particular favorite of mine?)

****************

That's it for me today. I'll continue to hide inside. Stay cool and comfortable, sweetpeas! xoxo

It is H-O-T here in SoCal

 I haven't blogged in ages, so here I am whining about how hot it is here! Compared to Phoenix with 100 straight days of temps over 100F, I really have nothing to complain about since we're only on day 2 of temps over 100F. We do have an indoor temp of 72F thanks to air conditioning, which negates whatever is happening outside. The weather advisory has extended the higher temps into the weekend and issued an advisory regarding air quality that will affect children, older adults, and anyone with "respiratory illnesses" so I'm in the two strikes category.

When you weigh high temps against hurricanes down South, I'm happier where I am now!

So endeth my whine.

***********

Today's agenda is a series of indoor chores that have to be completed today because tomorrow will be highlighted by the delivery of a new washer and dryer set! Yeah, life is certainly different these days regarding highly anticipated events! To be clear, I'm not complaining, just sharing the highlights of my retiree's life. Where am I going with this today?

I'm guessing this might be a good place to end today's entry...

or come back later today in a less whining mode!
