99 In The Shade

Happy Independence Day!

I am penning this at 9:00PM- after spending part of the day at the neighbor's house, eating patriotic hot dogs and drinking patriotic Corona's.

We came home, hot from the sun, our bellies full, to a nice SAUNA.

Our good for nothing A/C was frozen over-AGAIN.

This is now the 3rd time since Memorial Day. And the unit is six months old!!

A call to the serviceman found him drunk and getting ready to blow his own hands off with cherry bombs and illegal fireworks he trafficked over state lines.

He'll be here at seven in the A.M.- or so he says. From the sound of the party going on down at his double wide, I am banking on 10.

So, I am naked, dripping sweat and as annoyed as Paris Hilton in a courtroom. Joey and I are fighting like cats and dogs, because we are HOT. Last I looked, the thermostat was saying it was a nice toasty 84 degrees in here.

84 may not sound hot. To those living in Phoenix, it's a downright freeze wave- but you must understand- I run my A/C 10 months a year, and on 69!

So, as I sit here, feeling like I am going to die, and wishing I just would- I wish you a happy Independence Day and Happy Birthday, America.
