How are you today?

[Rahul]

We've got a mild climate, your choice of rural or city living, lots of natural beauty and variety. Politics are generally progressive, and people are for the most part very tolerant.

What's not to love?

You forgot Bigfoot.

Yes? No?
Every state I've lived in has at least a discount program. I have been a hard up case so the various programs have covered mine completely so long as I go to their preferred pharmacy.

Define mild climate, Because the cold and me are old enemies. It is currently 95 degrees and I won't break a sweat in that unless I'm out for more than an hour.

Mild = it doesn't generally get excessively hot or cold. In summer, we occasionally break 100. In winter, we might get a couple of inches of snow a year. Sometimes more, sometimes none. Rarely a lot more. Winter highs are usually well above freezing.

61 and overcast at the moment. It's been unseasonably cold the last couple of days.

that does indeed sound wonderful

The downside is that it's overcast a lot, and it rains frequently - though the rain is usually light. Umbrellas are a rare sight. Usually the people carrying them aren't from here.

Yeah but that's more of a fashion accessory.

I am underslept, but I had time for breakfast, which I was worrying about. So, life is good. I can put yesterday behind me.

I'm feeling underslept as well. I am only 1 cup of coffee into the day, give me time. I haven't had breakfast yet. What did you have? Was yesterday bad?

I love coffee, but can't have it. Too much of a stimulant, in more ways than one. Breakfast? Today it was buttered toast and chopped melon and watermelon.

Yes, yesterday was annoying. As I said up in #55, my mother and I had an argument. She was taking things hypersensitively. But the movie "The Internship" was good. That improved the mood a bit. But I just wasn't in a social mood.

So....

Today started rather chaotically, with some stomach issues. Then I found the pedestrian light still isn't working, so I needed to rush to another 4-way, cross it, then rush back on up. But it all worked out. I cought a bus.

Very hot and very dehydrated right now, but the day is over. Soaking up some powerful AC, and listening to CBC Radio 1 on ITunes.

I'm great now. Work tonight was pretty stressful with lots of cancellations (Totally my fault as far as our passengers are concerned, of course.)
I'm home now, which is great after spending last night at a Travelodge in Maidstone after my sister and I went to see a TV recording down there. We spent three and a half hours in a room with (only Brit peeps will have a clue here) David Mitchell, Richard Ayoade, Krishnan Guru Murthy, Andrew Maxwell, Micky Flanagan and Al Murray. RICHARD AYOADE!!! *faints*
When the Pilot for a new show called "Was It Something I Said?" is shown on Channel 4, look out for me in the second row. Don't know what I look like? I'm in the front row behind the cameras (ie, in the stands, not the chairs on the floor) of the audience of last night's "Sweat The Small Stuff" on BBC Three.
