The Simpsons 23rd season premiere was on this past Sunday.  The episode wasn't very good nor were the other shows surrounding it.

Lindsey found a photo from the future of me and Erin.

Some photos.

Today marks the fourth anniversary of my dumb humble website.  Much has changed in my life since September 2010.  Almost a year ago (September 17th, 2010), I was somewhere on Mt. Whitney.

I was looking forward to running tonight.  The temperature was in the 90's.  It was dark and cloudy when I locked the front door but in about five minutes, clouds turned to hail and the toughest monsoon or just plain storm that we've had since I got here.  Power has been spotty and the lightning bolts are hitting too close for comfort.  I didn't run today.  The rain is still coming down hard.

We really needed it.  I know people say that all the time.  I didn't care for the water as much as a relief from the heat.  It's actually in the seventies outside right now!  This has only happened a few times since I got here.  I'm sitting on the couch with the window open.  Erin's working a full night shift today and tomorrow so I pretty much camp out on the couch.

How Clover sees our new apartment.

At it turns out, August 2011 was the second hottest month in Tucson's recorded history.  I assume that because the hottest month in recorded history was only in 1994, prior recorded history was destroyed as the servers that hold the data melted to the ground.  I have kept myself outside but, wow, it is hot.

The article also says that we're on our way to having the second hottest summer ever.  I am told that the monsoons were "light" this year.  At least those fires were taken care of.
