By the time I returned home from my physical therapy yesterday, the sun had already superheated the breezeway outside my windows.  Today when I rose at 4:00 AM, my apt had cooled only to 90\u00b0 and hasn\u2019t moved in 2 1\/2 hours, even though the outside temperature is 54\u00b0.  I did my laundry while finishing my research, so I\u2019m pooped and wilted.  Today will be about 10\u00b0 hotter.  I\u2019m current with replies.  Blogging tomorrow depends on how I hold up in the heat.<\/font><\/p>\n

When you’re rich, you want a Republican in office."<\/p>\n

What can I say? Her endorsement can’t be any more embarrassing those of Donald Trump and GW Bush.<\/font><\/p>\n
