Well, July was certainly A Month. It was hot, it steamed, it either rained or was supposed to rain, my toilet died and was replaced, and a crown died and was at least reglued. August is looking like more of same. Today was cooler and dryer but not really cool or dry. Got three holds from the library and had chicken vermicelli at Pour Boy. Had to move indoors from the patio because the girls sitting across from me were wearing pungent perfume and shrieking, and the three-top down from them were shrieking too. So I sat by a window indoors where four 60-odd guys were actually conversing in reasonable tones. Which was fine until two grey-haired couples took the table below my window and one woman started shrieking beside me. Why do white people shriek? Is it deafness in the old? Is it animal spirits in the young? Deponent knoweth not.

Is a long weekend. Might try gardening a bit but not if my leg goes on hurting like it is.
