It’s still in the 70’s at night, but hopefully it will get colder soon. I sleep better when it’s colder. Air conditioning isn’t quite the same as actual mild weather.

My grandmother had a saying: “A watched pot never boils.” And back then, they didn’t have television, so I guess they did a lot of watching pots. These days, I say “A watched deliveryman never delivers.” He’s been five stops away forever. What’s taking him so long? What’s with all those other stops?
