It's Soooo Hot . . .

When I was working in the District Attorney's office, we revoked the probation of a woman who showed up drunk at one of her required probation check-ins. Her excuse was, it was so hot and she didn't have a ride, so she had to walk and it was so hot that she needed to drink a beer to keep herself cool. We didn't buy that excuse, and neither did the judge.

I wonder what the judge will say in this case.

Mmmm... very interesting.

I always wondered why public nudity was illegal. Didn't God make us that way?

Please note that I am NOT suggesting that we all decided to start a nudist colony in the Webster-Kirkwood- Ladue area.

I just think that it is odd.

I think it might be kind of . . . dangerous to work on a car, especially with power tools, sans clothes. Plus, it would also be really hot leaning against the metal of the car, too.

Very odd indeed.

Well, I guess it would help cut down on laundry costs . . . but, no, I really don't want to see that. Even wearing clothing, I've hurt myself enough times doing various forms of repair - I don't want to even think about what I might done if I wasn't!

If you're that hot, do what we do here in the Fiery Valley of Death (i.e. - Phoenix, AZ). Work at night.
