very nice

just back from walking around the park, everything fresh from the rain last night.....not too hot yet....haven't run the AC for a couple of days, probably won't have to today either....but later in the week it will be high 90's again, and I'll need to turn it on or melt late afternoon....the city meter reader is out walking around, so we'll soon see the damage for the last four weeks or so, electric-bill-wise.......sat out on the front porch until about ten last night, soaking up the coolness.....the Greenville paper had an article about porch parties....some lady had written a book, hankering after the old days pre-AC when there was social life in the evenings on the front porch in Southern towns.....made me think of the endless rows of tract housing in SoCal where people would open the garage door and sit on lawn chairs drinking beer with a boom-box on.....
