a whole lot better now that it’s cooled off. Although the CAFTA vote might warm things up again, as the valley of Red River of the North is heavily into sugar beets. So eastern ND and western MN will take a huge financial licking unless we can convert all that sugar into ethanol or something.
Twas puzzled as to the lack of numbers in the Midwest category, so we’ll see if a “1” shows up now.
Where da heck are Ole, Lena, Tina, Sven, Lars anyway? Dey must be up to no good, ya know then.
I found that I really got acclimatised to the heat this year by the time the mercury got up past 100. The hottest day–Sunday–was 102, and I was like “ehhh…not that bad, really”. Then the cold front came in, and the last couple nights I’ve actually been shivering!! LOL

After the last two summers in AL, I thought being back in MI would be a breeze–but its been a warm one this year. First house we bought without central air–bad move.
listless.
My great big grown up kid is healthy, my tomatoes are ripening, my cat still loves me and my air conditioner still works.
Bliss.
Who’ll run against Pawlenty? There’s a great big sucking sound here…! Media, find something to LIKE about Mike Hatch or we’re in for another four years of stalemate.
Minnesota used to be a progressive state.
nah, they’re just taking a short break while waiting for the next batch of their progeny to hatch.
Well, at least the wood tick season should be about over. So we can celebrate something.
Politics? Where the hell is HHH when we need him?
Wow, someone else from NoDak. Fargo? There is someone else also, but can’t remember who. Haven’t been around Boo Tribune for awhile. Today I’m busy chasing down news about Paul Hackett-OH.Sure hope he can pull this off.
Mosquitos? The new M Magnet is eating them alive. Better them than me.
yah, you betcha, Fargo. Look for the guy with the new Booman Tribune T-shirt, Ristreto coffee shop, 11-noon most days.
To all you Boo people in the Twin Cities… Scribe and I connected last weekend and plan to meet for coffee/brunch at the Louisiana Cafe on the corner of Dale and Selby in St. Paul this Saturday August 13th at 11:00 am. Come join us if you can. If you know you are planning to come – drop in a comment so that we can keep an eye out for you. Otherwise – just show up!
