84 degrees F? At 4 am? In December?
That sounded a bit extreme even for Austin...
But remarkably normal for the middle of the day in coastal Ghana, which is the location my weather app is accidentally providing me with data from.
I guess the sun-dresses can go back in the closet, eh? -
Wish list thingy?
I suddenly want to see an episode of Psych set in Ankh-Morpork. Shawn and Gus the pseudo-psychic detectives driving Commander Sam Vimes up a wall would be a thing of beauty. -

Ways to make Bob RAGE-y
