It's a fact. Can't be denied.

The quality of Penske is not strained
it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
upon the place beneath.

Magically, when I woke this morning, the air smelled of rain and there was condensation on the ground. I will use this date as a reset of my rain meter, based on this indirect evidence.

For those outside the area, know that this is actually how rain is both collected and measured within the Los Angeles Basin. I, too, saw condensation on the ground this morning that instantly reminded me of rain from my childhood days.

Though no one actually saw rain fall, I believe that the official yearly rain totals have moved from 3 inches to 3.12 inches. This additional increment will allow one last iced water to be served at the Palm before the end of all water supplies and the inevitable breakout of hostilities between Southern and Northern California over water rights.

Remember when he looked like he actually might reach into the chest cavity of whoever was in the ring with him and pull out their still beating heart? Well, this is what Iron Mike looks like now:

Hell, you should see Penske.

We're at 38.87 inches so far for the year. "Average" is 26.46. Last night's rainfall was a little less than an inch, but I think we're already at nearly nine inches for the month of July. Usually it's not even two and a third.

That's so odd. I wonder why someone who is a secretary would pretend to be a paralegal.

When I worked at a firm, there was a night secretary (an excellent one) who was a lawyer by training (and had been on law review at her local law school). She quit the law racket to become a photographer, which wasn't exactly a financial boon for her, so to pay the bills she decided to do temporary work. She told the agency she could be a temporary lawyer, a temporary paralegal, or a temporary secretary; she was only interested in making money. She said she would take whatever job paid the most.

The agency told her that she would make far more money as a temporary secretary.

Indeed. An overweight, Lithium-addled Tyson in Dad jeans would probably bite your nose off. And then eat your children.

Speaking of none of that, does anyone else have a secret language that only them and their siblings understand? My sisters and I have a secret language, and we talk in it all the time, although it's somewhat difficult to express in email. We are dogged nerds though.

I have occasionally pretended to be my own secretary ("No, I'm sorry, she isn't in. May I take a message?"), but I have never pretended to be a paralegal.

Not me. Those almost look like Mom jeans . . .

I am on eharmony and another dating site (no dick pics sighted yet) and what's interesting is that I am getting contacted by a lot of ex-pat Canadians. None of them show any particular promise, except one guy who emailed me a few days ago who is pretty hot. But it's weird. There's nothing in my profile that gives any indication that I'm Canadian, but I seem to be attracting them.

Do you mention that you like hockey and Tim Horton's in your profile? That might be tipping them off.
