Too damned hot!

Yesterday was hot. Luckily our house has AC; ciarhwyfar, her daughter, and kshandra were using it as a refuge from the heat. We'll be open today, too. Then we wonder why our power bills are so damned high. Yet another thing to blame on global warming... Luckily I had gone for my walk fairly early, though it was already hot at 9:30.

Went to the Golden Bough concert in Pacifica; it was significantly cooler there by the ocean. Fantastic, as usual. It was still warm when we got home at 11:30.

Also did a little shopping for laptop accessories. Found a sleeve-type case by Case Logic that's about 3" too wide, but since it's soft it can fold over to fit in my rollie. After considerable searching, found a very small BlueTooth mouse by Macally. Nobody makes a BT trackball, or even a small trackball. Closest I've seen is a Targus "presenter" which not only has a trackball but a couple of keys for controlling a presentation program, and even a laser pointer. Also fairly expensive, and not BT; on reflection, the fact that it doesn't have to be paired could be an advantage.

Open house with coolth

Just a reminder to the locals on my flist that the Starport has power and air conditioning! Y'all are welcome to come over and share the coolth. There's a gas grill in the back, and a supply of potato chips (more potassium than bananas).
