the "next poster" game

nope stayin in and watching the fireworks from teh roof!

the next poster is in chicago!!

 

errrr, maybe, or sometimes, unless you mean three-mile island.

The next poster was fairly devastated at last night's conclusion to the America's Cup regatta.

 

Uhh, isn't that the thing with sail boats?

The next poster has never been to Thailand, and want's to go.

 

Nope, one's almost more than we need.

The next poster likes the smell of summer rain.

 

Yeah, love the smell of it and the sound of it.

The next poster said a prayer today.

 

Yes I did.

The next poster just had the BEST piece of fresh peach pie.

 

Nope. All of my ice packs are in the freezer.

I'm surrounded by dogs. I'm dogsitting for my parents.

The next poster lives near the water.

 

Yes! I do now (the ocean). Soon I won't.

The next poster hates sales on holidays.

 

Sales? or Sails... did I mention how exciting the concluding race in the America's Cup regatta was last night? Decided by 1 sec! The closest ever finish in the world's oldest sporting competition!!

The next poster felt like he was the only sane person at a clown convention today.

 

More like the only Clown at an Accountant's convention.

The next poster is going to bed!!

 

Yep. And taking the dogs with me.

The next poster is barbequeing tomorrow for the fourth.

 

Nope, we had the official Independence Day celebration (with a BBQ) at the Ambassador's residence a day early yesterday. Today's the informal BBQ for the American expat community, and I will be heading out in about an hour or so. Made some yummy deviled eggs as my contribution.

The next poster hates being on call on their day off!

 

Yes, personal time is an important thing for me

The next poster knows someone with a foolish Independence Day injury.

 

Umm.. Not yet? Here's hoping we can avoid those for the rest of the day. Though I am bummed that we can't have our sparklers anymore 'cause some dumbass stuck one in their eye...

The next poster is not looking forward to the forecasted 110 degree heat today...

 

Yep... gonna be in the 100's here today too.

The next poster just tried to work out and it's too darn hot already.

 

It's 94 at noon here. My workout consisted of a half-hour of yard work before retiring to my 78-degreed interion space.

The next poster sometimes notices temperatures in Baghdad in the newspaper's weather section, and sees that from June to October they're very similar to Needles, CA; and when so reminded, truly anguishes for those poor devils in our military over there who must go out and try to ignore their discomfort at having to carry so much firepower AND body armor in heat like that in the course of carrying out a task that is likely meaningless in the scheme of things.

How many of us even stay outdoors in 116-degree heat (today's forecast) for more than an hour at a crack? And how's the AC working over there today, anyway?

 

Um, what AC? I'm from 'The Frozen North.' Here the forecast is for 30C

The next poster thinks some shade by a creek might be a good place to spend the afternoon.
