Hot
It's been ridiculously hot here -- like 99ยบ yesterday.
It's supposed to be cool and rainy around here -- so when it gets hot we all feel badly done to and whine about it.  Of course, heat affects ms, but I'm inside with my new portable air conditioner on -- I got it because last summer was really terrible for me.  It was a hot summer, and I just lay on my bed gasping like a fish out of water for months.  The first day I turned this thing on was yesterday -- works admirably.
I spent yesterday morning figuring out how to make a webpage for SWMNBMIMB that looks a particular way with a menu bar under an image.  I know nothing, really, but everything I know I've figured out for myself -- which for me is a lot more fun than going to a party.  I like having a thing to figure out, a problem to solve.  Then I'm happy as a clam.  I remember my father telling me about his uncles (I don't remember how many) -- his mother's brothers.  They were all engineers, and went to all kinds of exotic places to build things (a bottle factory in India, bridges in Africa).  He said it's a common engineer thing to like to getting things from nonexistence to the point of functioning properly -- then losing interest and moving on to a new problem.  I believe I have inherited a bit of that. 
When I emailed SWMNBMIMB yesterday I told her that a/c=my brain working.  So true.
the other day I went food shopping at Slaveways -- just a wee bit.  Anyway, I got a big box of blueberries that I threw in the freezer.  Frozen blueberries are a good way to cool down a little.  These are great, big rather tart berries, which is good -- I don't like sweet stuff particularly.  That reminds me -- when I was a child I used to break chunks off the horses' salt blocks and eat them.  I wonder what effect that had.  My mother told me about sneaking into the pantry as a tiny girl (5ish) and drinking vinegar.  I can relate to that -- I love vinegar (well, mostly malt vinegar).
I can idly sit here and write any old crap as I am trapped inside.

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
