i hate hot weather

You know, now I realize why I'd rather be too cold than too hot. At least when you're too cold you can put on a sweatshirt, tun on the electric blanket and warm up. When you're too hot you can take three lukewarm showers and eat ice and still be miserable. I called today and checked on air conditioners people were selling on our "swap shop" show on WSPL. Some of them wanted as much as it would cost for us to buy a brand new one, which is what I think we should do. 87 Saturday, 90 yesterday, and I think it's at least 90 today. Predicted high of 93 tomorrow. I guess it is June.

Had an interesting weekend...woke up at 3 AM Saturday morning to Rosie staring off into space, panting heavily. Thought she was hot so I went to get her some water. Not only did she not look at the bowl of water I put on the floor by her, she didn't look at me either. She had a seizure and was coming out of it when I woke up. She got sick, was disoriented, was having a hard time breathing and was unresponsive to either of us. Scott got lunch meat out of the refrigerator to give to her...and she didn't want it, which never happens. She loves lunch meat. So we paged a vet here in Streator and got her in at 4 AM. She's doing much better. She laid around all day Saturday and hardly ate or drank anything. Yesterday and today she's been better. Idiopathic epilepsy, apparently. Dogs can just have seizures at random.

Not much happening newswise in the Illinois Valley. There's some interesting stuff at the national level, though. This missing girl case in Aruba is getting more and more interesting by the day. I think she's either been murdered or sold into slavery. When officials ask for an FBI dive team to come in, that's never a good sign. Poor Michael Jackson is apparently in the hospital again...trying to win the jurors' sympathy. The judge would have been smart to sequester this jury, but he didn't. So I guess we'll see what sort of impact that will have on the verdict.

That's all from here.
