fast food, magic, and monsoons

Fast food'll kill you! Not that we didn't already know that, but fast food is the last holdout in the war on trans fats.

In other news, I'm not saying how this nifty magic trick works, where a magician cuts a woman in half without hiding her in a box first, and then her top half crawls off, freaking out spectators. I'm not saying it's new, either.

Onward to the monsoon. Around here, we get this weather pattern where a bunch of humid air blows up from Mexico, and we start getting afternoon thunderstorms. I'm pretty sure that when the average dewpoint is above 54 F for three days in a row, then we have the official start of what most people call monsoon season. That's probably an incorrect usage of the word 'monsoon,' but since I haven't seen any articles this year about the right way to use it, I don't care. Anyway, monsoon season tends to be between about the beginning of July and the middle of September, and according to the National Weather Service, it looks like it'll on time this year.

That also means that we have the capability to grow just enough mold to trigger a yearly exodus of mold-sensitive EIs. Heat is bad enough; add a little mold and we leave town like rats off a sinking ship.
