The weather, that is. Only the beginning of May, and yet it's getting up to 87 today. When I got home from church this morning, I turned on the whole house fan - and immediately turned it off again, feeling the warm air billowing in.
Read another article about the problems -- what an understatement -- that Mexico is having with criminals. The bad guys are using heavy duty armor-piercing and grenade-launching weaponry to intimidate and derail the official police. I'm of the opinion that should this keep up, they'll ask for international aid, certainly financial and possibly military -- which will undoubtedly be galling, but given the alternative, the lesser of two evils. It'd certainly put a spin on the immigration question. Wonder if anyone's done any readable studies as to the origin of the situation?
Saw an article the other day about a surgical research team thats developed and tested a method of applying an electrode-impregnated mesh to the surface of the brain.

Well, my slogan is Chill, Baby, Chill -- so I guess it's me!
