The Tea Baggers in California

Some members in the "Tea Party" in Redding, California, want mandatory "Christmas Carols" sung, in all the states public schools. It should be a no-no. There is a thing called a 'separation of church and state.' Yet these clowns, who don't want big government, and don't want the government shoved down our throats, are at the same time, trying to tell us that we should live by their way of thinking, which is moronically wrong. These blowhards are as bad as the 'Born Again Christians.' Put them both in a bag, mix it up, and out comes the same nonsense.

The problem I have with these so called small government minded people, is that don't really have a clue, as to what is going on this country. Never have. Never will. They love telling people how we should live, but to tell them how it really is, they go all ape shit.

They're favorite things to do, is to twist things around, read what is falsely written, and claim it is fact, such as the 'bible' which I am no fan of. They also look up to people like: Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Anne Coulter and others, who are fear mongers, spreaders of lies, hatred and whatever else pleases them.

In the long run, they are only damning themselves, when the time comes, they'll be the ones wondering, 'where did we go wrong?' Answer: They have no one else to blame but themselves.

Sarah Pailn

Sarah Palin supposedly writes a book titled: "Going Rouge". It will be a big sell amongst her fans, as she and her followers, are about as bright as a dieing neon bulb, on Broadway. I've read a couple of excerpts online, and all she has done, as she does quite well, is put the blame on the people, who she claims, help lose the 2008 election. And most of the blame goes to the McCain people, when she knows damn well that was not ready, to run for the job for vice president. So, all in all, she helped sabotage her own downfall, along with the so-called smart asses that was supposedly to help and guide her through the process.

Palin has never made any sense, as far as politics, and anything else that came down the pike. She loves throwing brickbats at people, that are against her, can't take the criticisms that the pundits, pols etc., said about her, wherever she appears, 99% of the time she has her kids in tow. I could never understand why she did that, and still keeps doing it.

She says she's not quitter, yet she quit the governorship, with a year and a half to go, and left her own state of Alaska, high and dry. This woman only cares about herself, and no one else, and that dosen't seem to bother her in anyway, shape or form.

To sum it up: I will not buy her book, nor bother to read it for free in the local public library, as the book is all about her, and the people she claims are out to get her.

What Can I say

In the minds of the wingnuts, the Fox News believers, and anyone else that does not have a clue, as to what this world is truly is: by all means 'Get a Life'.

Serioulsy Wrong - The GOP

What is seriously wrong with the right wing of the Republican Party? Has it gone off the deep end, and can't seem to find their way back up? Ever since Barack Obama became president, some of those people have seem to have lost their mind. The things come come out with, such as; I hope he fails, not born in this country, he has ties with Nazis, and the list just goes on and on... Some of them was happy to see Chicago not get the Olympics in 2016, and these are the same people who loved their country, back when George W was president. I could go on about the outlandish things they say, but what's the use, as they seem to be hanging themselves, and dose not seem to be end in sight with their foolishness. It will be their own funeral they will be attending, when the next big elections come up.

I'm glad that I never voted or belong to the GOP, because if I did, I'd be hanging my head in shame.

Chicago

Chicago lost out in the bid to host the Olympics, in 2016. The president and First Lady flew to Denmark, to give a final boost for the city, and it didn't seem to work. It would have been nice if Chicago got to be the host, but when it was all said and done, Rio won the bid to host the Olympics.

Now the Republican whack jobs, was applauding and hooting that Chicago failed to get the Olympics, and of course they blamed it on Barack Obama. Now if it was George W Bush they would say the world hates the US which is true in some aspect, as to what George 43 did to ruin relations, with most of the countries. But for them to be happy that Chicago failed in its bid, is nuts. Aren't they the ones that sound like that they are anti-American, "with we want Obama to fail", and other such clap trap bullshit? When Bush was president, anything the Democrats said against the war in Iraq, was unpatriotic, communist lovers, what have you. Now these clowns should be reminded from time to time, just how much they dislike Obama, and also how they seem to hate America too, which is a dow right shame.

Cry Babies

Chris Wallace of Fox News (Sept. 20, '09), was calling Obama and the White House a bunch of cry babies, because Obama appeared on the other major networks, including ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, and others including a Spanish language network. Wallace seemed to be upset about it, but why should he, when the so-called news network refuses to carry some of the president's news conferences, and other important things that matter to the people of this nation.

Guess what Chris, turn about is fair play, and your network deserved to be ignored. You and your network are the cry babies, not official Washington. And for your network claiming to be "Fair and Balanced' and America's News Network," I have news for you Chris. Your network is good at twisting and telling lies, distorting, and making things up , plus the network that you earn your pay from, seems to promote violence, that comes out of the mouth of Glenn Beck et al.

So, with that said, I still refuse to watch your network, and probably never will watch it in the future, unless it starts to get its act together, and stop acting like a bunch of spoiled kids, who had their toys taken away from them.

Colds

Having an ordinary head cold on most occasions sucks. Here I am sitting in the Haverhill Public Library, with my laptop, and connected via WIFI for free internet access. With the cold that I have had now since late last week, I can't seem to think, talk, type, and host of other things that, normal, healthy people can do. As I write this drivel, which by now are asking, why is he even writing this waste of time nonsense, about a silly cold, that I will eventually go away, maybe not today, nor tomorrow, but eventually through the graciousness of staring out the window, as I write this bit of whatever it is. (A cold, right).

Now I know that I am not the only one feeling this, as there has to be at least a millions of you people, walking around the same thing I have, and all you millions must have to feel in semblence, the same way I do. So, to all you people out there, with the wheeziness, the scratchy throat, the runny nose, the post nasal drip, and just feel like crap, this blog is for you.

By the way, who is responsible for plaguing us colds, flus, and other assorted pain in the ass sort of ailments, sould have been hung in the public square, if there was such a place, eons ago. Cheer up, soon all us millions will be over the cold, and then the next million or so, will get it, and soon or later, the cycle will repeated again, and again, and again...

What Happened to Civility

During Obama's speech to the nation last night, Representative Joe Wilson (R - S.C.) yelled out "You lie", as Obama claimed his plan for health care reform, would not offer free care for illiegal immigrants. The president also lashed out about "Death Panels". That I feel was aimed at Sarah Palin, another fruit cake that dosen't know what the hell is going in this country.

In short, when people shout out something while the President is making a nation wide speech, has no common sense, no manners, and above all no civility what so ever. Its a damn shame that people like him are even in office to begin with. Would he have done that, if it was his mother or father speaking? Probably yes, as it just shows, people like him, haven't a clue as to what is going on.

I Wonder

I wake up in the morning, and wonder what the 'right wing' fringe has said the night before, or what are they going to say today. If it isn't Glenn Beck, then its Rush Limbaugh, or Sean Hannity. Their is also Ann Coulter, who is crazier then a loon on drugs. The stuff that comes flowing out of their mouths is down right sick. They think that what ever they say or do, is the gospel truth. They have their faithful followers, in which most of them probably never made it past the third grade, and that is a sad commentary on life. These lo-lifers on talk radio, and also on Fox News seem to think they are telling the truth, in we know that anybody with any intelligence at all, would or should know that all they are spewing is stupidty, false facts, rumors that simply have no truth to them at all.

Do I feel sorry for the people who go on the air,and spew out all the venom and nonsense, and the listeners, who believe most of what they have to say? Yes and no. Yes, that they have been duped into believing it, and No, that they just keep on listening to it, and will not bother to find out what is the truth, and what is not the truth.

Until a majority of the people wake up, and smell the coffee, it will only get worse and worse, as each passing day goes by. A lot has changed over past 20 or so years, and it only seems to be going downhill fast.

This is not the America I was born and raised in.

Special Election Date to be Announced

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick will make an announcement sometime today (Aug. 31) when the special election will be decided. He has to pick a date, between 145 - 160 days from now, as to when the people get to vote on a new senator, to replace the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy. Possible people that have been rumored to run on the Democratic ticket are: Joseph Kennedy, son of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Ted Kennedy Jr, whom I doubt will run, but then you never know. Also mentioned is Teddy's wife Vicki, but says she has no intentions of filling his seat, even if it was only temporary. As for the Republicans, no one has announced who will run on their ticket.

As for Massachusetts politics, strange things do happen, and believe me, when I say that, it is true.

Update: Gov. Patrick said that Vicki Kennedy is not interested in the vacant Senate seat.

Ted Kennedy Jr at the JFK Library

Hearing Ted Kennedy Jr talk about his father at the JFK Library was inspiring. He recounted his childhood days, when he was stricken with cancer in the leg, and had to have it amputated. His dad stayed with him in the while he was in the hospital. When he told of the story about he his dad bought him a sled, and said 'we are going to go up the hill' and Ted Jr said he couldn't do it, and his father said, 'yes you can, even if it takes all day, you will make it up the hill'. And lo and behold, he did make up to the top of the hill.

They were other memories that his son had told about his younger days with his dad. Some of it was funny, and some of it a bit serious. It all hit home, after hearing Teddy Jr speak about a dad that he really loved, and of a man who loved is entire family, and his country.

We all, or I hope we all learned a lesson in life, and if we did, then we will all be the better of it.

Quietness at Arlington National Cemetery

It was only fitting that the funeral of the late Senator Ted Kennedy, lasted past the setting sun. With the lightning in the sky, the quietness of the surroundings of Arlington National Cemetery, the three gun salute, and the playing of taps, was all a nice tribute to a man that most of us will miss, not only today, but tomorrow and for the rest of our lives.

I know he would have wanted it that way.

Teddy, I already miss you.

Sen Ted Kennedy 1932 - 2009

A well know icon of politics has left us.

Senator Edward M. 'Ted' Kennedy will sorely be missed. Over the years, he has done a lot for his home state of Massachusetts, but also for the entire nation. He was advocate for the needy, the elderly, school children. It didn't matter whether what race or color you are, he was there battling away in the Senate. If he couldn't get a full bill to be voted on, he would work both sides of the aisles, to make sure it gone done, or at a compromise worked out.

Ted Kennedy has gone through a legacy of losing three older brothers: is oldest brother Joe, John who went on to become president, and his brother Robert who was Attorney General of the US.

He also lost his John F Kennedy Jr, in a plane crash in 1999, and his sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who just passed away this August 11. He did not attend his sisters funeral, as he was bed ridden well, battling the brain tumor that has plagued him since May 2008.

What becomes of the health reform that has gone haywire, and without his voice to get it done right, I'm afraid will be watered down version of what he would want done.I hope that the senators and members of the House of Representatives, get together and start working on getting it the health care bill done, and done the way Ted Kennedy would have wanted it done.

Senator Kennedy was like the late actor from Boston, Jack Lemon who if he didn't know you, he was still your friend, as he no bad words for anyone, and thats the way everyone should act.

Senator Kennedy will be missed by the people of Massachusetts, and across the nation.

August Nuttiness 2

Michelle Obama watch what you wear. The crazies criticized you for wearing shorts, while you and the rest of your family was touring the Grand Canyon. If you wore jeans, or floor length gown, the crazies would find some fault with that.

Now, the First Family is going on vacation next week on Martha's Vineyard. What do they want them to do, stay home? Give me a break. The House and Senate shut down for a month. The Supreme Court goes on hiatus for three months. What's with that? By the way, George W would go on a six week vacation to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, and the crazies didn't say anything about that.

The Obama's deserve a vacation, and let them have their peace. The president needs to spend time away from Washington, and away from the loonies.

August Nuttiness

What is it about the month of August, that brings out the nuttiness out, such as: politicians, news reporters, especially the bone heads at Fox News, and right wing kooks like; Coulter, both Cheneys, and the wizard of bizarreness Sarah Palin. She can talk a fly off a toilet seat, with her discombobulated speech, talk or whatever one wants to call it.

Is it the heat? Is it the boredom for the politicians not to be in Washington, and some of them talk like they don't know which end is up. To hear some of these guys, going to so called town halls and spread lies, twist things around, read into something that isn't there, is beyond comprehension. I'm talking about the few Republicans that will do anything to sabotage Barack OBama's health care reform, with such loony tune talk like 'Death Panels', government getting between you and your doctor. How the US has the best health care in the world, when it isn't. 

If these guys think they are real serious and believe what they say, then they need a reality check, along with spending a day or two in the open fields, with butterfly nets.

Why Do I Even Bother to Vote

The health reform this country badly needs, is just about dead in the water. Why do I say this? There are several reasons: 1) The lies spread by Palin, Gingrich, Grassley, Limbaugh, Beck  and others. 2) The conservative Democrats are against public option, also the Republicans too, but that's to be expected. 3) The lies about the Canadian Health Care System, saying it does not work, people having long waits for surgery, longer waits to see a specialists, which all of those charges made by the insurance companies, certain politicians and conservative talk radio. 

Without Senator Ted Kennedy being in Washington to work on this bill, there was never anyone to take his place in getting it done, except for Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who I believe would have been a pick to head the health reform committee, instead of Senator Dodd of Connecticut. 

The White House can say all they want, but if the Congress and the Senate are going to do things their way, by screwing this up, then they did a damn good job of it. And well they should be ashamed of themselves, as they get free health care at some of the best hospitals in the Washington/Baltimore area. There is just no need for the shoddy health care system we have in this country. There are some jackasses that say that the US has the number one health care, when in fact we rank #37. That is an outrage in itself, and should never be that low. 

Sometimes I say: "Why do I even bother to vote", and it is stuff like this among other things, makes it feel like its a big waste of my time.

A Great Speaker

Watching President Obama speak at the latest of his town hall meetings, it was a breath of fresh air, listening to a man who has a great command of the English language. The man is no slouch when he tries to get a point across, and he also dosen't talk at people. He makes you feel right at home.  I would put him in a class with the late John F. Kennedy, Senator Ted Kennedy and former President Bill Clinton. All four of these men know how to grab hold of the audience, and in return, have you understand what they are saying.

George W on the other hand, was at a complete, loss when it came to speaking on just about anything that came down the pike. I mean you could have had over sized cue cards, and he would still screw it up. He was not someone I looked forward to watching and hearing him speak. Bad. Just plain bad.

Sarah Palin, what can I say. The butcher of the English language. Listening to her speak, or attempt at trying to make sense of what she is trying to say, can be very hard on the ears, and the brain too. She just goes from subject to a totally different subject, in the same sentence. And speaking of sentences, she has a bad habit of doing sentence run ons. Goes from one sentence to the next, without even the slightest pause.This from a woman who spent six years and 5 different schools to get her degree in journalism. The less I hear from this woman, the better off I feel.

Afraid Not

Watching some of the clips of the town meetings, with some of the people who have nothing else better to do than disrupt the meetings, by shouting out, screaming like idiots and think they are getting their point across? Afraid not.

It seems that they must have forgotten what they learned in high school civics class, thats if they went to high school, probably dropped out, and went on with their lives.

One other thing, they only amendment they seem to know, or care to know is the 2d amendment, as all the others are just a waste of time. Sad...

Reason

Remember this: a person with smarts, cannot reason with idiots. Its a hopeless cause. This pertains to the lunatic fringe, loons, nut bags, and however way you want to describe the people on the far right of politics. 

I believe these people are just being used, for the advancement of the rich and powerful, such as the drug making and the big insurance companies. In the long run, these people are being duped into believing that health care reform will not work, so as to pad the big boys profits, at the expense of the little guy.

When all is said and done, the people that are disrupting the town hall meetings, more than likely never read even one page of the health care bill, and so they are just forced fed lies that they read on the internet. Then they will be the ones that will be sorry in the long run, and if they are not, then there is no hope for them.

 

Diplomacy

Its nice to see our former president Bill Clinton, securing the release of the two women from N Korea. This is very commendable of him, as he is well versed in world diplomacy, something George W was not. 

Clinton knows how to deal with people of all different walks of life. It dosen't matter whether a person is rich or poor, black or white, he has what it takes to get things done. It looks like he is going to be taking the place of Jimmy Carter, who also was well liked, and knew how to talk to different world leaders in securing releasing people, and worked on striving for world peace.

When I saw the video of Clinton being greeted at the airport, I had a good feeling, that would secure the release of the two female journalists, that were sentenced to 12 years of hard labor. 

There should be a special Hall of Fame for these two great men.

Painful Just to Watch

Watching the Baltimore Orioles on television, this weekend was painful. This is not the team of the 1960's '70s and early '80s, which the team was managed by "The Earl of Baltimore" Earl Weaver. Those great Orioles teams had probably one of the best pitching staffs in all of major league baseball. The four starters cmprised of Jim Palmer, Dave McNally, Pat Dobson and Mike Cuellar, and in one season, all of them were 20 game game winners. Of course they had other pitchers too, on through the years like; Ross Grimsley, Scott McGregor, Mike Flanagan, Tippy Martinez, who was one of the better relievers on the Orioles bullpen crew.

As for the infielders, outfielders and catchers, they're just to many to list. A few I will tell you about are; shortstop Mark Belanger, nicked named "The Blade" as it seemed nothing got by him, and made some hard plays that seem seem to easy. At third base was, Brooks Robinson, at second Bobby Grich, first base was big John 'Boog' Powell. In the outfield was Paul Blair, Al Bumbry, Ken Singleton and others. Catching was Rick Dempsey, Andy Etchebarren and Elrod Hendricks. 

There was a lot of enjoyment listening to the Orioles games on WBAL, in which I can hear after sunset. The radio tandem of Bill O'Donnell and Chuck Thompson, in my opinion was second to none in calling a baseball game. 

The Orioles also won three World Series, 1966 over the LA Dodgers, 1970 over the Cincinnati and in 1983 over the Philadelphia Phillies. The O's also lost three of the Fall Classics; 1969 against the NY Mets, 1971 and '79 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. They came close to going the World Series a couple of other times, but it wasn't their calling.

Since the late 1990s, the Orioles have been having nothing but losing seasons. It does hurt to see them lose games that they should have won. And if you don't have the pitching, or the big guy with the bat, your not going to win to many games.

I could go on, but it just hurts sometimes just thinking about, and this is one of those times.

My View of the "Beer Summit"

The "Beer Summit" was held outside on the White House Rose Garden, with the president, Professor Gates, Sgt. Crowley, and Vice President Joe Biden, as far as I know, was uninvited. Everybody seemed to be happy, and getting along great.

When the summit was over, Sgt. Crowley along with the rep of the Cambridge Police, and Crowley's lawyer, held a short press conference, and Crowley read a short statement, and then took questions from the media. The police officer did a great job in reading his statement and answering some damn good questions. 

What I liked about Crowley,was that he was very sincere about setting up future meetings with Gates, and see where the two of them go from there. From the answers that he gave, it sounds like good things are going to come out of this, and not only for the city of Cambridge, but for every one of us, as we can all learn a lesson. 

Let's Get Along

Is it to hard to ask, for people in all walks of life, to get along and stop the race baiting, and other lies that are constantly being spread on television, radio and the internet. Its sickening to say the least about some of these morons spreading hatred and other such hatefulness about the 44th president of our country. There really is no need of it, and it does bother me when I get e-mails from certain people, saying that Obama is not a citizen of the US, so he shouldn't be the president, or he is planning a one world government, and other stuff, that just makes no sense at all. I know some people don't like him, simply because he's black. Well, that dose not bother me at all, as I voted for him, and was proud to do it. 

Of course they're some things he has done that I don't agree with it, which is fine. He also has done a lot of good to, seeing with the mess he inherited from George W. He's a story for another day. 

I wish Obama the best, and know that it will be tough sledding ahead, as he tries to right this country again, and it would be great if some of the naysayers, and back biters would put their hatred and acting kids aside, and work with him in solving some of the most perplexing problems that are facing us today, tomorrow and the near future.

Birthers

What is it that people don't seem to get, that President Obama is a United States citizen, born in the state of Hawaii. His birth certificate has been produced and shown on television, a number of times. I saw it on Hardball with Chris Mathews, back in the fall of 2008. 

The disgusting part of is, they're people like Lou Dobbs on CNN, Rush Limbaugh on the radio, and most note worthy of all, G. Gordon Liddy, of Nixon and Watergate fame. These guys know how to push the buttons, get certain people riled up, and then the shit hits the fan. There is no need for the birther movement, which is supported by the people I just mentioned, and various other wingnuts, who love to spout nonsense and lies about the president, and other important things like health care reform.

I must say, that I am happy not to be a member of the Republican Party, nor did voted for a Republican in my entire life. If I was a member of the GOP, I would truly be ashamed of it, and no denying it. 

I have no problem with people belonging to the above mentioned party, as some of my friends belong to it, and we have had some disagreements on certain issues, but all in all, do not get into utter nonsense concerning whether Obama is a citizen or not. 

It does get frustrating listening to people being dragged down into the fox hole of idiocy, believing the lies and hate mongering, that goes on in this country today. I would one day soon, to see this come to end, and to live in harmony with each other.

Incident at a Professor's Home

What to make of the incident last week, involving Harvard's Professor Gates and the Cambridge Police, is kind of puzzling as to what actually happened at Gate's home, which is one block from Harvard Square.

From what I read and heard, was that the professor was just getting home from a long trip overseas. He had a hard time getting into his house, as he could not find his key(s). So far, all well and good. Then there was a call made to the Cambridge Police, that two black men, were trying to break into a house. Moments later, police arrive, lo and behold, the fun begins. 

Once they got inside the house, which they managed to jimmy the door open Gate's produced is ID, and then an argument ensued between the professor and one of the officers who was white. The next thing you know, Gate's is put under arrest, charged and booked at the police station. He was finger printed, a mug shot taken, which in a very short time went virile across the internet. Gates was released and the next day, the charges are dropped. Gate's demanded an apology, but never got one from the arresting officer. Fat chance of that happening, as police officers rarely ever give an apology, as they think it is beneath them.

It gets even better. During Wednesday night's press conference, (July 21, '09) President Obama was asked what he thought of the incident, involving the professor and the police, by a reporter from the Chicago Sun Times. To make it short, he said "That it was unfortunate incident, that should never have happened." By the way, the professor and the president are good friends.

This morning. the arresting officer said that Obama called him stupid, for arresting Gates, when in fact the president said, "They were acting stupidly" what the Cambridge Police did." I watched the press conference, and that is what Obama said. But this cop said claims that the president singled him out, which he did not do, but the department as a whole. The officer also says he will not apologize to Gates, and thats his choice. The police department said they regretted that this incident ever happened. That should be the end of it.

Be assured this will not be the end of what happened in Cambridge, and rest assured, things like this will happen again and again. In a civilized society, there is no time or place for this.

Judge Sotomayor

Sen Kyle (R) of Arizona, who is the second ranking Republican in the US Senate, says he will vote against Judge Sonia Sotomayor, for the vacant Supreme Court vacancy. No surprise there. As I was watching some of the confirmation hearings last week, the questions he was asking, the things he was saying, and his demeanor, sent me a signal, that he was not going to vote for her. No surprise there. Sen Colburn also another Republican, from the state of Oklahoma, had a nasty disposition towards her. There was Sen Graham (R) of South Carolina, was smug at times too, and and at times very rude. Just no need for grown men to act like that.

Sonia Sotomayor deserved better than what she went through, especially with the clowns that are supposed to be decent and honorable citizens.

Shame on them.

My View on Health Care

The battle in Washington for true Health Care Reform is mind boggling. There are too many different factions sparring, dickering or however one would want to put it. We have lobbyists sent in by the big insurance companies to try to derail any meaningful plan for this ailing nation's health.
The insurance industry is spending an average of $1.4 billion a day, grabbing any Senator's and Congressman's ears to stop health care reform.

Another problem is the lies that people are saying about the Canadian health care, along with a few of the European nations that have Universal Health. It's a shame these people can come on radio and television and say for example; that if we had a true Universal Health Care, that there would be to much government interference. That's nonsense, and they know it.

One other point I would like to make, is that the big drug manufacturing companies are against most, if not all reform. And their the ones that should be ashamed of themselves for charging exorbitant prices on prescription medicine. It's truly sad that when elderly citizens of our country, go to the pharmacy, and get gouged when paying for their prescriptions. There is no need of it.

The lawmakers in Washington, that we pay to represent us, get free health care, not only while they serve, but also when they either decide not run for reelection or voted out office, get to have free health care for the rest of their lives.

Something has to be done, and done now, or else the health care as we have now, will only get worse.

I Finally Did It!

Friday, I finally broke down and put the a/c in. It got very muggy here, and cannot stand being indoors when it gets like that. I seem to have a low tolerance for humid weather. I've always liked the colder weather. It must be that I am a winter baby, and the cold weather never seemed to bother me.

This is the latest start time for turning on the a/c, as it usually is already going in early June. Suffice to say, this has been a cooler than normal summer so far here in eastern Massachusetts.

Weather

The weather in eastern Massachusetts so far this summer, has not been its usual self. We have had more rainy days than sunny. The temps have been running below normal, and it hasn't been humid at all until today.

Do I like the hot and humid weather, not really. I don't mind it when it gets hot, as long as the dew point stays below 60 degrees. Then I am one happy camper.
