Apropos o' not much... no outdoor Happy Hour today, for a couple o' reasons.  (1) we have more thunder-boomers movin' in and (2) it feels like frickin' Mrs. Hippy outside, what with the humidity and temps in the low 90s (that would be the large woman, not the lady in the tie-dyed halter top bedecked with turquoise jewelry... who, as all pedants know, would be Mrs. Hippie).  We began our day with 69% relative humidity which has fallen to 40%, as we speak.  That's humid, Gentle Reader, for this part o' the world.  Those of you in Loosy-anna and elsewhere in the Suthin' part o' this great country can roll yer eyes and snicker.  You have my permission.
