At least one person...

...has asked me to update this blog, so here I am.

Nothing really pithy to say. I'm up too early after only 2 hours of sleep and decided I would feel worse if I didn't just get up and forget about trying to get back to sleep.

While I know blogs aren't only about what's annoying in the writer's life, here's what's annoying in mine. Heat. Yeah, yeah, I know it's summer, but please, the heat and humidity is ridiculous. Complaining about the weather is pretty pointless; what I'm really annoyed with is the weather forecasters. Between not having a clue that we were going to be deluged with nearly a foot of water in less than two hours back in July, and the ongoing promise that cooler weather is on the way -- followed the next day by the 'news' that we will have 'one more steamy night and another steamy day tomorrow' -- I begin to wonder what the purpose is of trying to forecast the weather.

Speaking of obnoxious Republican politicians, Ron Johnson is a Wisconsinite running for the US Senate against Russ Feingold. Johnson enlisted his family for this commercial and the self-absorbed 'humor' is exactly what irritates me most about Republicans. See for yourself.

Oh, and as I finish up this post, I just noticed on the 7-day weather forecast that it's going to be 47 degrees Sunday night. That's only 15 degrees warmer than freezing, so it appears it will be winter soon. Time to stop complaining about the heat and start complaining about having to shovel.
