h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Taking a quick break from picking peaches in a hundred and freaking two degrees (that's Farenheit. It's probably a double quiddich in Celsius, or something*). The peaches are ripening while I'm in here, but I need a glass of ice tea. Or possibly iced tea. Well, tea somewhat cooler than I am, at any rate.

Big day in Supreme Courtland. Yet another time when anything the Onion publishes will probably sound more reasonable than Scalia's dissent.

Still looking for my dream job, and am about to settle for a getting by until something better shows up job.

*39

How 'bout your chocolate business?

39! that's... way ....... beyond existantce! - I'm faultering here at anything much about above 22 Celcious! MMM peaches....

39°C? We don't even take our overcoats off in Texas until it hits 40

We can't even get our heating to go up that high in the UK!

why would we want too?; anything behond about 19 degrees C is delaterious to health and poses a risk to one from death! seriously.... -2 is a sensible human temp

We already had about 30°C this year, which already was quite warm. But we do somethimes get almost 40°C in July or August.

No peaches here yet, only some watery strawberries (lots of rain recently).

Our peaches have come and gone. Unfortunately, my father now suspects he may have trimmed the tree back too far and too soon as it's still leafless more than a month later. His peaches were unusually small this year as well. I think it may have been stressed too much between drought, heat and flood.

I've been seeing all the Fredericksburg peaches stalls around town these past few weeks. I wish I liked peaches.

There are 2 more peaches on the tree, just enough for our breakfast tomorrow. Yay, peaches.

We're becoming more convinced Dad killed his peach tree. We'll see next year for sure, but he's already decided that if it is gone, he'll replace it with two of the tallest he can find at the local nursery. He wants an early and late peach tree.

Poor tree. Why does he want tall replacement ones?

I think he just wants a more mature tree. His current one (what's left of it) is only about 7'-10' tall.
