Yesterday, as the temperature hit 121 degrees Fahrenheit where I work, it was time to go home. I headed out the door and the first thing that hit me was the baking heat on my skin. That was in the shade. In a pool of sweat, I headed across the hot parking lot to my black car with the cracked windshield.
Halfway across the oven baked tarmac, I came across a rattlesnake sitting under a Mesquite tree with an empty glass next to him. Too hot to run, I just looked down at him, shrugged and said What? He stared at me for a moment, slid his tail to the empty glass and raised it up to me. "My Good sir", he says to me, "Would you be so kind as to refill my Iced Tea?" I gave him the bird and continued on my way and then everything went black.
That rat swallowed me hole! I found myself in the belly of a rattlesnake with yesterdays skeletal remains. Luckily, I had seen Pinocchio so I knew how to get out. I lit a bonfire. With a hack hack and a cough cough, I felt myself rolling towards the front end of the snake (thank goodness, I was really worried it could be the back end). As his mouth opened up and the light streamed in, I took this shot from the inside of it's mouth of it's charred and burnt fangs.
I hit the hot ground, face down about ten feet from the snake. I looked up and saw him, staring at me from the shade of the tree. He smiled. I raised my hand as if to wave, then slowly lowered all my fingers save one. And that's when everything went black again. All's well, I get good reception on my phone in here so I can still upload to flickr.

In The Belly Of A Rattlesnake

OMG! You Killed Jiminy Cricket!
I found his top hat and little green tux discarded in the alley. I'm pretty sure the bird works for Dreamworks.

Gossamer?
Ohhhhhhhhhh, I thought it was a spiders web. Now I feel for bad for smashing the crud out of the plant.

At Triple Digit Temperatures
With temperatures today hitting around 113 degrees and tomorrow being predicted at 117 to 122 degrees, I don't care what it is, I'm drinking it!
What is really scary, is so far they have underestimated the heat for the last few days. It's actually been hotter then they expected. It's so hot, my cat walked up to me, meowed and all is hair fell off instantly. So now I have a naked cat.

Princess Leia And The Greatest Mystery Of The Universe
With the new Star Wars movie about to start filming, we traveled to Tatooine and caught up with none other than Princess Leia fresh off her trip to Disneyland. We sat down in the early morning sun over coffee and asked her about the greatest mystery in the universe. Do women fart? And that is how I became imprisoned as an Imperial Spy.
