Vermontian Rodents

HSBC have finally deemed me worthy of receiving one of their checking accounts. Sort of. I had to speak to the British Embassy (why????) and pretty much use my sternest OPTUS VOICE in every telephonic communication and so on. But even so, it will take days for my actual card/checks to arrive AND then I need to sit around and wait to be paid so there is actually something to withdraw.

It's going to make things a wee bit tight.

And I owe rent.

We're now in an official HEAT EMERGENCY as the temperature gets in the high 30's/100's with an incredibly oppressive humidity that makes it feel like you're walking through clear soup.

However two things that are neat:

Ben and Jerry's Icecream
Squirrels.
