Today it was 101 without the heat index. The weather stations said it wouldn’t cool off until 8 PM. We walked down to the mailbox about 4PM and it was really hot. But at 8:30 PM, temperature 95 degrees, we went out and watered all the plants. Finished prepping the lavender slice of the herb […]

Yesterday it was 107 with the heat index. Today it was even warmer. We walked down to the mail box to get the paper (1/4 mile). Then worked in the garden for about 20 minutes which was as long as we could take. Paul got the yard prepped for mowing–lots of branches and twigs came […]
Today was hot — 98 degrees (107 with heat index). Tomorrow is supposed to be hotter. But this evening it was another thunder, lightning, and rain storm. I’m hoping if dries off so we can get some yard work done tomorrow. We were supposed to run errands today but it took 6 hours at the […]

Basically, getting DNA from archaeological sites isn’t that difficult. What is difficult is getting a sample that hasn’t been […]
As you may remember, SFRevu and Gumshoe Review go live on June 1st so things are a bit crazy in my dining room office right now. I’ve got several reviews to write up, even more to proof, several to coerce Paul into writing, the cover images to make up, and of course pinging the other […]
