I've never encountered a dead body outside of a funeral home.<br /><br />As for your job, it STILL sounds better than mine. :PHeidenkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494625457587427781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-71522349718524046912010-07-17T17:57:46.581-04:002010-07-17T17:57:46.581-04:00This sounds like a European novel to me.

The finding of books that weren't there when you needed them. The longing for a good Haruki Murakami.<br /><br />I feel for you. We haven't had that kind of no-sleep heat yet where I live this summer, but last summer the only thing that helped was putting my feet in a bowl of ice water.Trapuntohttp://villanegativa.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-37511180333130670742010-07-17T16:15:09.098-04:002010-07-17T16:15:09.098-04:00Okay.

That is <i>exactly</i> how it is when I go back to school in the Fall (I mean AUGUST) with no AIR and I get CRABBY! Your comment made me smile on my own whine, and now I'm glad to see that I'm not alone although sorry for your suffering. Truly.<br /><br />Wanna have ice cream together?

It's a short light or two away from the highway and has visible signage. It's a mandatory stop whenever friends and I go between Mtl and To.Mishhttp://stageandcanvas.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-66572171774159354232010-07-17T09:41:06.539-04:002010-07-17T09:41:06.539-04:00Tony: 72nd!

I hope you're drinking lots of hot tea and lemon...Oh man, I wish it was cold enough for hot tea with lemon here!<br /><br />Lesly: I know it's hot in Kingston. Besides the relative lack of dead bodies though, Kingston also has something crucial: clean air. Or, at least, air that's much cleaner than the air here!<br /><br />Ying: I'll give Hornby another chance one of these days then!Bookphiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155882653615842141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-72640108252116163052010-07-17T08:13:53.829-04:002010-07-17T08:13:53.829-04:00Oh, Colleen.
