Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Hot Fuzz was just a scream, especially the last 1/2 hour or so. I think it was Paul or David who got us to watch Shaun of the Dead. It was hilarious! I'm not much of a fan of zombie movies, but I like parodies of them, like that one, and Night of the Comet.

"Bitchin!"

Sedona is where the nutcases go after they graduate from college or retire, but the college kids with Daddy’s cash are all in Flag. The new age shops, the vegetarian cafes, and the organic artisian pizza joints tend to be busting at the seams with customers. The shopkeepers will literally bow to you when you come in and say stuff like, “Namaste” or “Goddess’ blessings upon you.” It’s a trip. Don’t know that they’re quite so over the top now as they were ten years ago... but they make for great characters in a story.

Always wear at least a baseball cap when I go out in the sun. Getting headaches is no fun.

I don’ wanna go to werk...
I don’ wanna go to werk...
I don’ wanna go to werk...
I don’ wanna go to werk...

[Overtaxed]

Me neither....I’m too tired.

[Lil'freeper]

I’m here and I wanna go home.

[JenB]

Me either, let’s stay home.

[Rose in RoseBear]

I have all these people I have to meet with this morning, and all I want to do is go back to bed ...!

If I work for four hours, I can count it as a complete day ... maybe I can try that ...

[Overtaxed]

Izzit Friday?

[Corin Stormhands]

Well, I’m here.

Gots two relatively short meetings today (in theory). But, then again, these people make my skin crawl.

All in all, I’d rather have a root canal.

[JenB]

Four hours a complete day? Sign me up there!

[HairOfTheDog]

I reserve the right to cover my eyes...

If you didn't, I'd cover them for you. :~)

Good morning everyone!

[HairOfTheDog]

Batten down your hatches, Florida! You may get a hurricane season after all.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

You may get a hurricane season after all

First time in two years, but we won't know for sure for a week.

Great gravy!

The roadside tribute went well...lots of people showed up. But we were in the 103 degree heat for about 3 hours and nearly killed me.

I still don’t feel that great.

LOL! I love his expression.

[SuziQ]

LOL! I didn’t know that about Flagstaff! We never really went into town there, we just went one evening to go to the Lowell Observatory, and we drove by there once, going out to Meteor Crater. But you’re right, the New Age crowd in Sedona is a little older. Caters to the demographic, I guess; older, wealthier folks who can afford to buy a house there!

[2Jedismom]

I know it...that crossed my mind more than once yesterday.

Supposed to get up to 105 here today. We’re not going anywhere.
