On the brighter side, Liz informed me today that she and Jeanette have to appear in juvenile court next Tuesday. Liz has to explain (1) why her 17 year old daughter was on the street at 3:00 am (2) why she was buying a controlled substance and (3) why her daughter hasn't been in school in the last four years.

I think Liz might be looking at jail time.

Jails are overcrowded, so it might not happen; however, while they are in court, change the locks.

gareth Long ago, someone suggested let the utilities expire and they'll run out of there. No gas here for 6 months and no water for 1.5 months. They're still here. Lockwise, I never gave them a key.

Google says it was only 113 in my town, then again Google isn't almost 66 years old. in the heat i went grocery shopping and picked up my Rx at the pharmacy. I didn't mind the walking. I did mind the pools of melted people i passed there and back.

Hooray, it's down to 77 degrees. Then again, it's 4:17 am.

I called the city water department today to see what it would cost to get water during this heat wave. They said my bill was only $699.01.

Heh heh heh it looks like it's going to be a long hot and dry summer

A friend just brought me a paid receipt from the water company which 'says' they paid $699.00 on my water bill. I'll find out by Monday morning if it's legitimate or if I'm being scammed.

Till Monday, I won't count my chickens until they're hatched.

Isn't it terrible to be both old and suspicious?

Have you ever investigated what the market value of your property would be if you sold it? It might solve some of your problems.

While meaning no disrespect, my life experiences have informed me that not being reasonably suspicious is terrible, regardless of one's age...

My brother never had the chance to become old. For his children and wife, THAT was terrible.

I keep finding the terrible problems of getting old (if, that is, I am getting old) preferable to the terrible problems of not getting old.

Perhaps I simply am not yet old enough to know any better.

And I sure do hope that the receipt is real!

Well, it's only 90 F. at 11:30 pm which is better than the 110 it was earlier.
