Mac-attack too

Mac Jr





He (I think it's a "he") has been an occasional visitor in and around the yard all Spring, and now he's in his spot in my back yard every afternoon/evening for hours, just chillin'. He has a flea collar, so he belongs to someone.

I dream about Mac a few times a year, always very real, like OMG you're not dead after all! I'm so happy you're back!

A couple of months ago I dreamed that Tori's orange guy, Mossimo, was in my house. I said how did you get here? How did you get into the house?

Mac Jr. showed up in the morning.

I'm going to befriend him. Yep.





And, also...


it was freakin' hot that day



T-shirt I bought back then




The recent heat spell (not here, thank god) reminds me of some of the summers I lived through in the 20+ years I lived in Phoenix.

The day before the record of 122 it was 118 and the a/c in my car went out. It was a cute little blue 1981 Honda Accord with 215k miles on it. Windows down and a spray bottle for the afternoon commute home from Subiacolor, the photo lab I worked at back then. Less than a week later I traded it in for a newer car with awesome a/c.

One summer we had 100 days in a row of temps over 100 degrees. I was happy for October, that year.


Alright, enough of the rear view mirror.
