Well, since it's supposed to be as hot as Hades over the next 2-3 days here in Vitelli Territory, I decided to get enough food to last the duration and plan on basically hibernating unless something major comes up.

Luckily, in the building where I live, it takes 2-3 days for the weather to work its way through the brickwork and affect the temperature within my apartment.

Of course, the reverse is also true: after it becomes nearly unbearable within my domicile, the outside temperature will go down to tolerable levels while I may still be roasting within and seriously considering putting my portable air conditioners into any and all available windows.

Any way you look at it, the predicted 97°F SUCKS!

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
