yeah, i really have no idea what i'm talking about. we have two seasons here... not that hot and oh my f***ing god, i'm melting.

so i guess your seasons are "hey it's not actually freezing" and "my snot is an icicle"?

mkj: actually, the 'hey it's not actually freezing' is referred to as the Great Heat Wave of
'95.

T.R.: Thanks for coming by and commenting.

Jaime: me too (strawberries and punctuation), then I looked at some old classics (haiku, not strawberries) and they were full of the stuff (punctuation, that is) so....what's good enough for Basho.. cheers and hugs.
