Day 30: When global warming effect ME

In my final days of not driving, coupled with "dangerous heat" that won't loosen its grip on middle America, my family and I have been mostly homebound. By not going out, Carolyn got a chance for some toddler pool fun with my neighbor's great-granddaughters yesterday as Rita and I sipped a glass of Pepsi.

So there you have it, a month experiement that's fizzled out in the dangerous heat. On the plus side, I've learned a lot about the motherhood subculture on daytime television. Turns out, it's all about haircare, germ-free kitchens, processed foods and pregnancy tests.

If it gets much hotter outside, I'm going to need cable.
