Busy summer...

Jeez.

it's been busy, that's for sure.

thanks to the infinite wisdom and impeccable planning of LAUSD, summer school for elementary and middle school students was cancelled this summer. for the entire district. 2nd largest district in the nation and summer school...cancelled. nice.

so, what is ol' weatherboy up to this summer? well...

i've been trying to work on my house. i have several projects on my list that i will get done before the end of summer. many of these projects include working out side. not a big deal right? well, it wouldn't be if we weren't having one of the most unrelentingly hot summers on record. it's been in the 90's almost EVERY DAY for the last...oh, two months or so. and, rain? nope. we're in the middle of one of the craziest droughts i've ever witnessed. so, it's kinda difficult to get my grass to keep green during these hot days. boo. i will prevail, though. anybody know how to get rid of a nation of rabbits that's moved into your backyard? (without killing them would be nice.)

why "busy summer" though? well, we've had MILLION visitors this summer! it's been great! don't get me wrong. but, it's been one right after another for the last few weeks and there's not a lot of break 'till school starts for me on the 8th of September. the nice thing about this is that BOTH of my siblings have finally decided to make this the summer they come and visit. only, like, four years after i move here! nice! well, i've only had a house for two of those years, but still...

anyways. not a lot to post. school isn't coming for a while. it's gonna be an interesting year, since LAUSD in it's infinite wisdom FIRED/LAID-OFF so many teachers that i'll probably have somewhere around 40+ kids in a class. goodtimes. no strain on my kids education whatsoever. thanks, jerks.

right, well. you all take care out there. keep positive. we'll get through this. and keep in touch, old weatherboy misses you all. don't forget to write.

and, as always...

...stay tuned.
