Strawberry shortcake -- yes, for breakfast!
Street-sweeping machine careening noisily off the curbs in front of my house. (Someone needs a steering lesson!)
Tina (trying to find a place to park her giant Winnebago)
Lots of people

Expired aspirin (which has eased the pain in my throat somewhat)
Skater boy skipping school
Elderly crossing guard
C.T. -- that big blond teddy bear with the goatee and tats!

< It's reciprocal, Jacky. I keep Mr. H. around because he's awfully decorative too.
V Slacker, or an exemplar of the Protestant Work Ethic?
^ Work? Oh no, dear, I just drape myself decoratively over a deck chair.
< Slept with the windows open last night. Gentle breezes, and the city wasn't too noisy for once.
V Have you turned on your air-conditioning yet this year?
