Actually, it was a lot hotter for a lot longer down there, but this still sucks.&nbsp; Turns out that poor ol&#8217; Gabe isn&#8217;t too heat tolerant either, but he doesn&#8217;t seem to know it.&nbsp; He&#8217;ll run himself into the ground, so we have to keep an eye on him.<\/p>\n<p>Not too much went on this weekend.&nbsp; The entire weekend was irreparably damaged by work.&nbsp; Oh well, it happens.&nbsp; &nbsp;Gotta pay the bills.&nbsp; If I wasn&#8217;t working, I was laying on the couch wrapped up in the &#8220;Good Times&#8221; marathon.&nbsp; I&#8217;m sure everybody else watched that too, huh?&nbsp; Oh yeah, back-to-back-to-back Good Times episodes, 24 hours a day.&nbsp; Doesn&#8217;t get much better than that.&nbsp; Andy Griffith Show maybe.<\/p>\n<p>As far as entertainment goes, I went to the &#8216;Sider for a few hours Friday night.&nbsp; It was too hot to sit out on the deck though so I didn&#8217;t stay long.&nbsp; Saturday afternoon I went to lunch out in Kansas with Munkirs, if you want to put that in the entertainment category.&nbsp; Not a whole lot of verbiage during the meal, but the burrito was excellent.&nbsp; Actually I can recall the entire conversation, which I shall relate for those not fortunate enough to attend:<br \/>\nJames:&nbsp; &#8220;Float Trip is pretty late next year.&#8221;<br \/>\nPhil:&nbsp; &#8220;Yeah it is.&nbsp; But the American Royal BBQ is the same weekend as last year.&#8221;<br \/>\nJames:&nbsp; &#8220;mmmm hmmmm.&nbsp; Might get some new hiking boots for it this year.&#8221;<br \/>\nPhil:&nbsp; &#8220;Yep.&#8221;<br \/>\nAfter that I tried to go to a party over at Susan&#8217;s, but didn&#8217;t stay long.&nbsp; I think I had some kind of social panic attack and had to leave after about 10 minutes.&nbsp; I had to go in to work at midnight anyway, so it probably was for the best.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday was just a blur of &#8220;Good Times&#8221; episodes in between conference calls.&nbsp; Never did get the stupid lawn mowed either.&nbsp; I am trying to just let it go until Wednesday when it is supposed to cool off a bit.&nbsp; I&#8217;m in no condition to be out in this heat.&nbsp; Did everyone read the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/mld\/kansascity\/living\/12199425.htm\">article<\/a> in the paper this weekend about the Pitbull Rescue?&nbsp; It&#8217;s a pretty good article.&nbsp; Gabe came from the MPR; they&#8217;s good peoples.&nbsp; I also read this joke in the paper this weekend, which I got a guffaw out of&#8230; I don&#8217;t know why.&nbsp; One of my favorite jokes is the &#8220;Frayed Knot&#8221; one, so I guess this falls along those lines.&nbsp; If I was any good at joke-telling I could take this one to the Brooksider.&nbsp; But I&#8217;m not.<\/p>\n<p>A guy and his pet newt walk into a bar.<\/p>\n<p>The bartender asks, &#8220;What&#8217;s that thing on your shoulder?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The guy says, &#8220;Oh, well he&#8217;s my pet.&nbsp;
