The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

The heat is on

Independence, Missouri - 386.8 miles

Isn't it supposed to get cooler when you travel north? I mean, obviously it doesn't do that in Australia, but then again, it's not like I'm headed to the equator or anything.

No matter. This is why God made R-134a. (Why He took away R-12 is a topic for another time.)

Anyway, I'm basking, or something, at my daughter's new place this evening. We just absorbed way too much of a Chinese buffet, something that doesn't happen often enough. Tomorrow she and her brother will fight over the front seat and we'll head north.

That's away from the equator.

You know eating too much Chinese buffet isn't good for you? It's too much Chinese food. It's only good to do once every other month - if that. Because by the time you have it again, you've forgotten what a bad experience you had last time. The the cycle starts all over again.

Well, the food was good, though the A/C in the restaurant was balky at best and the fortune cookie was unduly ominous — but that's another story entirely.
