Still humid, though the temperature was lower today. Asher's cough seems to be subsiding, which is good. evidently the medicine just took a couple of days to kick in.
Decided not to go to the county fair tonight, because we'd arrive in the midst of the big grandstand entertainment act which doesn't interest us at all but does attract a lot of extra crowd probably. We plan to go tomorrow instead.
The jerk who gave me a hard time on the phone yesterday morning called back in the afternoon and gave someone else the same hard time, insisting that we had "no right" to be closed when he wanted us to be open for his convenience, that he was a taxpayer, etc. The time has come to offer him a dime and say "Here's your share of my salary back, now I don't owe you anything so get out."
Listening to Jim Dale's audiobook version of HP #4 in the car on the way to and from work reminds me how much of the story they cut out when making the film of it. More than half, I'd say, including the whole thing about house elves at Hogwarts and Hermione's SPEW organization. In the films house elves are just weird little critters and you get no sense of the complex history and social interactions behind what they are.
Just got Fur-Piled vol. 2 and Heat #4 in the mail from Sofawolf. Good stuff, but I have work to do before I can really read them.
