random, with links/photos? I don't know

It's only 97 so I can think a little better today.
I had breakfast with my IRL pal K (not K, my girlfriend K). I had a BLT which, let me tell you, is the perfect choice when it's this hot out.
I'll shut up about the heat except for one more thing: I'm proud of us for not using the giant downstairs AC unit until today. Money = tight.
IRL, K, AC. You're following me, right?

And, speaking of following, each of us had to walk at least a mile yesterday (103) as our commutes were all mangled. Oldest had to be in town after K, who scooted and had to be in town before Middle, but way before Youngest. It was kooky but we all managed.

I saw a few good things on my way to the station (which I walked to slowly whilst exclaiming on the hotness, to myself).

The lady with the red bag



got off the bus and was greeted with a big hug by the other lady. They were dressed in exactly the same outfit and I laughed out loud when I walked past them. Red-bag lady (the mom) said: we didn't even realize! Mom had come in from DC to visit. They were cute!

Then I saw some great-looking ladies in the station.





In the second picture, each of those people had a tall, cool beer. But none of those khaki-men looked as cool as the blond in the fabulous skirt.

I stood near this guy whilst awaiting my track to be called.



They wear an amazing amount of gear, those soldiers. Heavy looking gear. I still can't decide if I feel safer around them or afraid. I noticed that their pistols are wired onto their pants with a twisty cord. I'm guessing so no one can grab them? (Middle says it's so they can't drop them.)

On a completely unrelated note, have I mentioned that I'm a member of some shopping sites? There's some good stuff out there, though I'm not shopping right now, and I think it's worth mentioning.

At The Foundary:



this is a good deal on sheets and they have every size. Personally, I'm not sure I could feel the difference between 250 thread-count and 650, but that's just me.



This is a great deal on this bench (and, if anyone feels like sending it to me, the bench on our porch is completely rotted) and there's more where that came from.

These are pretty interesting too -



not sure I get the scarves/flasks relationship but they're pretty.

Finally, I saw this on Pinterest.



VERY TEMPTING.

Wait. One last thing. Go to the Dos Equis site, punch in your fake age, and watch the newest Most Interesting Man In The World commercials. Great stuff.

Stay cool, people.
