There's a thick fog this morning, so we're going to get snorter heat and maybe a big thunderstorm tonight.

These things are meant to try me

Would you believe I'm still trying to upload the second episode of Shaturday Specials? Yup. It's recorded. I have fourteen episodes in the bag... and a shitty internet connection making sure that absolutely nothing gets out.
