Not as really seriously hot as it has been the past 5 weeks, though it did peak out at just 100 F. this afternoon. Summer is starting to wind down again for another year.
The cheap(er) model of Canon printer-scanner I bought to replace my really good one that started messing up, decided to stop working without warning today. I don’t think I’ve printed 100 sheets of paper with it, but there it goes. Ah well, the other one will still print if I have patience with it, so I got a quick job done, printing a label to return something to Amazon.
But that’s a minor issue, just part of the day. The good part is that I won a very nice early crystal radio in virtually new condition to add to my collection, at a fair price. Other good news is that in spite of all the fear mongers trying to sell a news article or a book they wrote, we still aren’t at war with anyone, or at least not with anyone shooting nuclear ICBMs at us.
In spite of all the cries of looming horrible food shortages I was able to take advantage of the sale at my local supermarket yesterday and bring home 10 pounds of salmon filets and 6 pounds of snow crab leg clusters. All promptly repacked and frozen for future grand dinners. Besides the one I had last night, of course.
There’s yet another critter digging around in my garden. I found new turned earth yesterday morning. After shooting 2 rabbits in a row, I thought I was done. But as Jeff Goldblum said in Jurassic Park, “Mother Nature finds a way” although I think he actually said Life does, but close enough.
The sun is setting, the temp is back down to 88 F. outside. The nights cool off a little faster, the morning sunrise comes a little later and the Earth keeps turning. It’s a fine Sunday.
