Sigh. 109F is not a temperature fit for humans. I'm quite happy at about half that. Only four more months until civilized weather.<br /><br />Also, I need to check the comments more often to jailbreak ones like yours here that come in after the deadline for commenting has past. Sorry about that! On the other hand, I deleted a couple of spam comments before publishing yours, which is a good reminder of why I set that system up that way.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-8692646265875917172017-07-13T15:06:05.453-05:002017-07-13T15:06:05.453-05:00Sure ...

Before Noon.<br /><br />If you've got any sense at all, you'll find a large bathtub, fill it with ice, and won't come up 'til fall.

My ‘puter’s dictionary thinks Lauren’s borrowed swine are only a variant:<br /><br /><b>odiferous</b> |ōˈdifərəs|<br />adjective<br /><i>variant spelling of</i> <b>odoriferous</b>.<br /><br />Were they actual, real swine they would instead be:<br /><br /><b>odoriferous</b> |ˌōdəˈrifərəs|<br />adjective<br /><i>having or giving off a smell, especially an unpleasant or distinctive one:</i> spicily concocted with odoriferous herbs | an odoriferous pile of fish remains.<br /><br />Also defined as: <i>stinky, smelly.</i><br /><br />And I actually do believe that the fish remains would stinky smelly better.<br /><br />(Although, I have to admit, if somewhat grudgingly, not as stinky smelly as the cat box. And pigs are a helluva lot easier to herd.)<br /><br /><b>“On the internet, nobody knows you’re a pig until you tell them.”</b><br /><br />[<i>Looks around the office. Damn, cover is blown - he knows. Wait - how could he know? Haven’t told him yet …</i> ]<br /><br />LucyLucyInDisguisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08169432604954981941noreply@blogger.com
