Roaster Toasty Warm
Seems like the whole country is in a heat wave. Now I know what the warning was for-- temps 105-110 in areas near work... the canyons will get up to 102 which used to be rare. I hope the folks in Queens NY and St Louis get their power back.. We used to get rolling blackouts, but they did increase the electrical generating capacity for So Cal... but the heats gone up. The painter had to slow down, but he is close to completing. The house looks brand new outside... but its too hot for housecleaning, and I'm on standby-- already had to go in once. Vegatation city today....besides, there is a little odor of paint. My house is stucco, and they have to pressure spray the top layer.

Our whole block is filled with trucks for the past week. Seems everyone is getting big jobs around the house done. LOL-- getting a place to park is getting interesting.


What do you all do to keep cool? I get lots of ice for water, tea, soda, and turn on those fans. In the first apartment I had, I lived over the boiler room, and the wiring was so old that we couldn't have air conditioning/ so going to stores, bookshops, anything at all became the rule.

Some AX pictures:One of the funny things from the dealers room-- the manga money grab from Viz:


It did get very crowded, so sometimes going to workshops, or hanging around at the edges and "people watching" was a great thing to do--sometimes it was street theatre. More neat costumes"


Of course I have to include a Vash picture-- I thought this cosplayer did a great job:



Time for some iced tea. Hope you all keep cool-- this is one time where it pays to move slowly!
