6/26-it's been roastytoasty out there with high humidity and temps in the 90's. And, lots of thunderstorms with the atmosphere being so juicy. Of course, they all seem to miss us. One aspect not only here but across the Eastern half of the country, is that because of the heat, the rain has been intense, dropping inches at a time. Flooding is a serious concern.
C out for a quick dip before a storm came-with little rain.
6/27-finally, we got some rain...2.30 am this morning with lots of thunder and a good downpour of .65". Yay!

We were surprised she sampled the chicken shawarma-we knew she wasn't totally vegetarian-she eats insects, grubs and snails-but chicken? Maybe it is the spicy seasoning-after all, she devours the snow-on-the-mountain which contains an substance that can cause irritation in humans.
Damn! that's tasty |
6/28 Summertime! A cold front came through and the day was pleasant with low humidity with temps around 80°. After a dip in the pool, C on the deck catching some final rays and hanging out with Buddy:

I had a CAT scan which involved injecting a radioactive isotope into my veins. After the procedure, I was encouraged to drink a lot of fluids in order to pee it outta me and to avoid coming into contact with children and pregnant women. I can confirm that my pee did not glow in the dark.
I am Radioactive Man!

Music vid from French/Armenian group Ladaniva from 2023 filmed in Armenia when warm weather has arrived. The title Saraiman in Roma culture, refers to the overwhelming feeling of being in love akin to the Portuguese Saudade.

Roach, cabinet members and MAGA surrogates publicly attacked the press who questioned how successful the Iran Nuclear facility airstrikes actually were.
In a typical fit of narcissistic hyperbole, Roach tells the Iranian ayatollah: "I saved your ass (from being bombed)-you owe me!"
Meanwhile, jumping on a comment by the NATO secretary-general about his use of the F-bomb, Roach wants to be referred to as "Daddy" and of course, there's merch already for $27:
Daddy will reward those who are good,Daddy will whip with his belt those who are bad.
After all, Daddy knows best.
An ode to MAGA, from The Beatles Hey Bulldog 1969:
Sheepdog
Standing in the rain
Bullfrog
Doing it again
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
What makes you think you're something special when you smile?
Child-like
No one understands
Jack knife
In your sweaty hands
Some kind of innocence is measured out in years
You don't know what it's like to listen to your fears
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me, if you're lonely you can talk to me
Yeah hey, oh!
Ho, ho!
Yeah!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho!
Big man (Yeah)
Walking in the park
Wigwam
Frightened of the dark
Some kind of solitude is measured out in you
You think you know me but you haven't got a clue
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me, if you're lonely you can talk to me
Hey!
Wahoo woof! Woof!
Hey bulldog! Hey bulldog!
Hey bulldog! Hey bulldog!
