It's going to be 91F/32.77C! Spring no longer exists. But on a happier note we're going to try to work in the yard today. If I am lucky I will be able to fix my gate and plant my herbs and vegetables. Got Oregano, basil, parsley, San Marzano tomatoes, and green peppers.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

Ooh I just heard about that one on NPR yesterday. I don't usually like going to the movies but I may for that one.

I read the book when it came out. One of the few books I've ever pre-ordered just because it was written by Andy Weir. I wasn't disappointed.

I'll say, the single best part about it is that the story has the best supporting character since Chewbacca.
