the heat is on

The valley is sweltering under triple-digit heat this week. It seemed even hotter than the thermometer said because of those dread North winds that stir up the dist, dessicate the new plants, shake all the leaves off the trees. And our house is located such that everything that's falled on lawns and streets to the west of us ends up in our driveway or on our steps. The removal of this mess is, I like to think, good exercise for the Patient.

"Ha, ha, ha kids. See 'ya at Bemont!"

Is that a smile on Big Brown's face? I think so. What an animal. What a horse race.
