it is hot and my eyes are tired. it could be my glasses getting dirty after a long day of working and reading. it was supposed to rain and cool off today, but it never rained. not sure it cooled off either. i am back. by my aircon where i'm comfortable and the itching in my eyes. has eased up a little.

when i go driving kids around i beg to take the prius instead of the much older honda. that's because there's a lot of waiting involved, and i'm too cheap to just run a gas engine to keep myself cool. i am not too cheap, however, to let the prius's battery cool me off. today we were like twenty five minutes at the hy-vee. these kids aren't trying to piss me off but they can make me wait twenty minutes without even thinking about it. so it wasn't so bad, i had the prius, it was cooling me off a little, and i was reading. but then the engine came on. the prius does that. if it can't run, or start, or go, on battery alone, it just starts its own engine and lets the engine recharge the battery. i consider it genius because we never have to charge yet we get like fifty miles a gallon, and lots of times it's really quiet.

at this moment though it rumbles beneath me and lets me know that twenty minutes of battery-power aircon is too much. unnatural.

when the fall comes i'll be grateful. it's my favorite season.

i fear losing my sight. having lost my hearing, i'm attached to using sight for phone calls and everything else. this computer, as i type, is dropping little periods. and i'm finding it hard to see them, which i have to. do in order to correct them. yeah i might come back tomorrow when i can see better. i worry that there io tomorrow that looks like that.

i have to write my books quick. while i can.
