Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my sweltering sweethearts!  How are you?  “Hot enough for you?” Yesterday a woman asked me that and it was the first time I heard the phrase this summer.  I’m sure we’ll all hear it more and more.  I don’t know if the heat has hit 90 degrees yet, but that’s when it gets very uncomfortable for me.  I haven’t turned on the a/c much yet, mainly because I’m afraid of the electric bill.  But we have windows open and fans blowing, so it’s tolerable.  And, as they always say, “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.”

Recent nocturnal storms had glorious lightning visuals, but the boom of the thunder had me wonder if I was in an earthquake.  The whole place shook a number of times.

The 4^th of July is this Friday.  Please be careful if you partake in any of the celebrations, and doubly so if you’re drinking alcohol.  For many people, the 4^th of July is an all day party.  The city goes nuts for a day and you never know what to expect.  With the 4^th falling on a Friday, I’m afraid some people will party even heartier than they normally do.  So keep your eyes open, stay alert, and always be aware of your surroundings.  If you’re traveling on the 4^th, please allow plenty of time for traffic.  And, as always, watch out for children. 

Also, the 4^th of July falls on a First Friday, so the Downtown Racine Corporation has decided to hold this First Friday on Thursday, July 3^rd.   Wow, you can get drunk starting tomorrow night all the way through Sunday and claim that you’re being patriotic.

Thank you, in advance, to all the Law Enforcement Officers who are working this weekend.  Thank you for keeping us from hurting ourselves.  God bless you.

And, God bless America!  This holiday is about the birth of our nation.  Parades and fireworks are fun, but light one for the fathers of our nation.

Oh my, but they used real guns in the Revolutionary War, too.

Thank all you JTI groupies for reading this.  In fact, thank everyone who’s stopped by.

Enjoy the weather, my friends and lovers.  Get up, get out, and exercise.  Even a walk has benefits.  Psst, big secret: I love the JT Irregulars.  Have some fun. Damnum fatale
