Thought for the day:

What if dogs lick us because they know we have bones inside us and they want them?

Decided on that good mac-and-cheese again. And it was good again.

Cooling down the house.

I think I figured out the problem with the warm air - you just can't let the thermostat go over 79 - once it does, it's warm air. But under 80 and it's always cold all the time. Go know.

Futzing and finessing took forever - twenty pages with lots of smoothing out, moving things around and getting everything to work.

I've written ten new pages and I suspect I'll finish tonight. I think maybe there's about ten to fifteen pages left, ten being the more likely.

But first, a little break.

I guess I would have expected it to turn off. Setting it to 79 degrees seems really high.

I'm not sure I have ever set a thermostat that high.

Laura · « **Reply #130 on:** August 17, 2023, 05:45:29 PM »

My thermostat is set at 81.

I first I went "wow", but on second thought it makes sense, It has to blow out cold air since it has to work to keep it that cool.

Which means that something is wrong with Bruce's thermostat

Good Evening - the rest of the school day was fine. I got home and did a 12 mile bike ride, took a shower and here I am. Today was DD JP's first day back at camp. He and DD Leo should sleep the night away and most of tomorrow I would suspect. At the moment, they are sitting under my desk waiting for me to share my dinner - which is the lunch I made yesterday that I didn't eat. If they're lucky, they may get a piece of cheese.

Didn't Bruce's thermostat just get replaced?

Wouldn't that be wonderful!

Good night, friends.

Starting a British war film called Dark Journey with Conrad Veidt and Vivien Leigh. Interesting.

I’m a quarter into Tom Lake. The combination of good novel and Meryl Streep reading it is keeping a smile permanently on my face.

My new glasses are in. Will try to pick them up tomorrow.

Terrifyingly cute.

This afternoon I indulged in the first Wendy's burger I've had in a few years. I might have stopped there once since the lockdown, so this would be my second one since. But I used to eat tons of Wendy's burgers. Tons of them.

Anyhoo, it was good. I ordered it with the same things I always did, and it tasted just like old times. That's all one can ask, right? The fries were a little bland, with way too little salt. I know some places try to go easier on the salt than in past years, but I don't go there for my health, and a little more flavor would have been welcome. The Coke was just fine.

And that's the Wendy's repor.

I'd love a Wendy's burger and chocolate malt, but I think MacDonald's fries are the best.

They are! In the world of fast food fries, nothing yet has matched them, that' I'm aware of.

I agree, too!
