In our own corner of the world we had two minor bits of excitement, neither one tragic at all, just inconvenient.
Are you HOT? How about some ICE?
It’s been medically proven* that after making reservations for a cool vacation the average body temperature will lower 2-7 degrees. Seriously!**
Deja Vu
