Congress was busy, busy, busy last week. Here's our highlights

- On the Affordable Care Act:

*     Both of Kentucky’s senators denounced the SCOTUS decision.
*     Senator Paul went so far as to say that “Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional’ does not make it so. The whole thing remains unconstitutional,” Senator Paul, an MD, not a JD, didn’t mention that those couple people belong to the highest court in the land
*     Senator McConnell vowed to do a Chucky on the bill - stabbing it repeatedly until he is sure it is dead, dead, dead forever

“What the Heck. Really, 109 degrees in the shade!”

It was on Saturday that I had my first yearly weather event stun me. For the past five years, I have been totally shocked how much time and energy I have had to devote to surviving or coping with extreme weather.

Today, June 29, 2012 would prove to be yet another mini chapter in my ongoing modern journal of making peace with extreme weather. Today, at 11:47 am, the bank temperature gauge read 109 degrees, in the shade of the building.
