Oh lord, it is hot. Seriously, if Al Gore had won that ever-elusive ninja vote in Florida, we'd all be driving our hybrid cars to see Bush's new movie where he explains how to eat a pretzal without dying. And we would need hot chocolates because it would be SO DAMN COLD.

Also, Marley, my pet ghost, has traded his Labor-Day-white for a paisley sheet. He doesn't match anything in the living room anymore. This summer bites.
