Wow, everything is loading nice and fast (read: normal) now. Is the DDoS attack over? (Also, "yay, LJ! Beeeeeeeeeeeat the Russian-bastards-who-don't-believe-in-free-speech!" *gasp ( Read more... )

Guh. Woke up this morning and it was already 77°. I...don't think I'm going to survive this hellish heat that's supposed to last until the end of the month. It's so bad that I'm desperately looking forward to Saturday, when the temperature is supposed to cool down to 87°.

So, Wednesday morning my dad, my brother, and my uncle all headed out on a 5-day bike trip. I waved them off, then went inside to figure out if I could find that road Dad had been asking me about at (literally) the last minute ( Read more... )

We've had an abnormally gorgeous April this year: 60s and 70s, sunny, dry, and not humid at all.
