best!

The halo, as seen in news pics of politicos, has been commented upon in these pages before. This would appear to be the post-modern culmination of the art.

Water

I am loving this rain. Supposedly we’re in for 23 mph winds later – man, I hope so. The air is still not clean from the heat wave this weekend.

Cool

Remarkable. It’s barely 55 degrees Fahrenheit and raining under cloudy skies. This installment of the two-week summers looks closed.

Heat

SOL INVICTUS has banish’d FALSE WINTER at long last.

LET THE PROLETARIAN RESISTANCE TO HEAT BEGIN!

I mean, I’m ready for the sun and all but my mist-clad veins prefer the wan light which heats with gentility and manner, in opposition to the wanton, savage rage of the flaming orb currently wilting plants to the far-flung corners of my very yard. Well, this heat can’t last, right?

Booger.

RIP, George Carlin.

I originally constructed this post with no content but the Words proper. Then I thought of the 69 year old I am corresponding with concerning genealogy who complimented me on my website. So I’ll wait a while.

On the other hand, Mr. Carlin was 71 when he died.

BLIZZARD

OK, in the past ten minutes, half-an-inch of snow has accumulated, and if anything, it’s snowing harder.

Obfuscatory elisions

Certain of my esteemed readership have decried with confternation a recent addition to this publication, viz. In particular the emotive and affected tone of urgenfy, in combination with a most genteel lack of germane or illuminating detailf, has raised alarums in the heartf of certain more senfitive personf among the readerfhip.

Thus, a clarification: neither illnefs nor emergenfy has afflicted the persons of thif houfe, or indeed thif family. A life-event conferning a friend fimply caught me unawaref.

The editorf of this publication regret any public difcommodation or diforder prompted by our refent reportagef.
