High today in KW: 22. Dewpoint then: 11. High dewpoint: 12.
High today, here: 22. Dewpoint then: 12. High dewpoint: 13.
The thing about its being cool outside is, at least it's not so freaking cold in the basement, even though the air conditioning does periodically come on during the day, despite the fact that it's cooler outside than inside, because the house is being cooked by the sun.
Still: my bones are cold.
If you're ever training a puppy, and even if you're not, I highly recommend Puppies for Dummies. I don't know if this shit works, but it is, at any rate, hilarious. At least, what L.'s been reading to me is hilarious.
For instance: if your puppy wants to eat something that you don't want it to eat, don't yell at the puppy; yell at the thing. So, take the sock, give it a shake, and yell, "BAD SOCK!"
To train your puppy not to eat out of the garbage can, get some balloons, sit your puppy down, and blow up the balloons. (It strikes me that if your puppy wants to eat out of the garbage can, then it will probably also want to eat your balloons, but anyway.) Now: pop the balloons! And when you pop the balloons, be terrified! Balloons are THE MOST TERRIFYING THING IN THE WORLD! HOLY SHIT, SAVE US FROM THE BALLOONS! Now, attach a balloon to the garbage can.
Finally: if your puppy runs away and won't come back, don't run after it. Instead, run around in circles, waving your arms, yelling like a lunatic. Then fall down. Your puppy will come back to see what the hell's wrong with you.
