It was hot.

My part of the world did not experience the heat that the weather dweebs predicted but it was close.

At 2:00 this morning, I was awake and listening to the ac's pumping out their cool air. I decided to see what the outside temperature was so I grabbed my phone and checked the weather:

At 2:00 this afternoon, I decided to see what the outside temperature was so I checked my thermometer:

For the record, the sensor for that thermometer is on the back wall of my porch in the shade. That means that 99° is air temp, not sunshine temp.

When it's in the upper 70s at 2:00 in the morning, you know it's going to be a hot day. Turns out it was a hot day.

No baseball for me to watch tonight so I'll watch a little bit of the opening round of the John Deere Classic and then I guess I'll burn through some DVRs.

Then again, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night so maybe I'll just go to bed early and read until I pass out.

Here are some links:

• The words "forcefully and violently' are a typical Trump minion lie. Sort of like when Kristi Noem called Alex Pretti a "domestic terrorist" after several ICE agents wearing masks forced him to the ground and executed him by firing 10 bullets into his back from close range.



• Give it a few days and I'm betting the Ukrainians return the favor 10 fold.



• Seems to me this was the opening scene to several sci-fi horror movies back in the 60s.



• WTF! Why would they do that?

I need an explanation

How is it that the Red Sox can win 4 of 4 games against the Yankees and then turn around and lose 2 of 3 against the Nationals?

Can any of you explain that to me?

The needle on my hope-o-meter is dipping...

They are off tomorrow while they travel to the west coast where they will play a 3-game series against the Angels.

Since the Angels are worse than the Red Sox, I really hope they win that series.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to watch any of the games because they don't start until after 9:30 at night.

The AC has been running since 10:00 this morning.

If you don't have air conditioning, I feel really bad for you. At my house, the temp got above 96° and the humidity was above 70%.

That, my friends, sucks but it's going to be worse tomorrow. The weather dweebs keep throwing around tempartures like 102° and even higher humidity.

Oh, and they are also saying the low tonight will be somewhere around 75° so none of that "cool night air" for us! Those air conditioners will run all night long.

• Apparently Dementia Donny has decided that his "best and most important trade deal ever" is not quit so best or important anymore.



• Idiots...



• It's my guess that frustrations are running high on that team.
