Yesterday I replied to outstanding comments, returned most visits, and went to do errands.  The temperature shot up.  It was the first of an anticipated four day heat wave.  As usual, I wilted.  It’s cooled spomewhat but the temperature at mu desk is still 95°, even though it’s after midnight.  I have not slept.  Whether or not I can keep up on comments and visits is a function of how hot it stays and how my body responds to it.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today it took me 3:35.  To do it, click here.  How did you so?

Short Takes:

From AP/Google: Longshot Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene was indicted Friday on two charges, including a felony charge of showing pornography to a teenage student in a South Carolina college computer lab.

If convicted, he is still a more moral candidate than DeMint.

From TPM: The closing days of a GOP primary race for state Senate between state Rep. Brian Nieves and Washington mayor Richard Stratman in Missouri got especially heated and ugly — but accusations that Nieves committed adultery and paid alleged rapist Rod Jetton as a campaign consultant were nothing compared to what has happened since election day. Nieves, now the GOP nominee, stands accused of physically assaulting Stratman’s campaign manager, Shawn Bell, threatening him with a gun, forcing him to strip and threatening the manager’s boss.

Those Missouri Republicans sure take their Second Amendment solutions seriously!

From Think Progress: Obama spoke out on the controversy surrounding the construction of a new Islamic center near the Ground Zero site, firmly siding in favor of the project.

It was the right thing for him to do.
