...it's been crazy hot for the past week and change...which started me thinking about global warming, how it seems to be getting hotter and drier every year a couple of days ago, tens of thousands of LA County area residents were sitting in the dark over the weekend...I was not one of them...I'd forgotten, however, about being back in the south and how that humidity made you want to choke people...I'm buggin' out, son...I'M BUGGIN' OUT!!! continued on Chronicles of Ridicule
