I do like Tosh, but she's not enough to carry the show

Apparently that bit of news got released before it should have. The actor Doug Henshall said he'll have more to say. Just have to keep my eyes open.
I liked the show because it was unusual in general.
I like Tosh as well but no not her or any of the other characters can carry show.

Oh well. I'm done with the heat too.
I guess we can just bring on November 8th now.

Cool days would be nice. We've had 2 days below 80 since June 1st, and half of them have been 90 or more. This is extremely rare around these parts. Strangest thing of all is that we don't have drought at the same time. The rain is spread out more than most people's grass appreciates, but we've gotten hit with some big storms that just won't cool anything off after they fall.
At least the energy bill is cheap. I really do feel like an ass for not having A/C in this house for so many years. This is the first year that it's gotten a real test and that single window A/C unit keeps my entire house dry and cool.
I don't even bother using a fan upstairs to try pushing it down anymore. I don't need it. And I don't even bother ever changing the temp on it either. I leave it in ECO mode on 68 degrees and it just shuts on and off when it needs too and it's perfectly comfortable in here no matter how hot and humid it is outside.
And my bill that came in yesterday was still $145 cheaper than my worst winter bill this year was... and winter was pretty uncomfortably cold because of Biden*'s high natural gas prices.

I have a volunteer cherry tomato that I've already harvested a few tomatoes from. My Early Girl tomatoes are doing their usual spectacular selves, and already have some good-sized tomatoes on them. My started tomato seedlings (three different varieties)are finding their roots and growing well, although it will be at least a month until they start setting tomatoes. Well, that's what comes from late planting, I guess!
The nursery red and green bell peppers have some peppers set, my own started seedlings are still finding their roots but have at least survived their traumatic transplant.
The nursery watermelons are scrambling all over and I see a few very tiny watermelons, altho typically (in my yard, anyway) many of them fall off. SOMEthing ate my muskmelon seedlings down to the nubs. I have to give up on them this year bc it's too late to replant seeds, I think. I've already harvested nursery zucchini, altho it's not bearing as well as usual. This WOULD be the year I only planted four instead of six!
The okra is FINALLY growing another set of leaves, altho one set got eaten own tothe nubbs. Fortunately I have a pot of healthy spares.
Basil and parsley are going great guns, I've made a few Italian and Thai dishes with the basil already, and chopped parsley is up on the menu this week.
And it be rainin' avocados over here! I'm giving them away to neighbors and friends, but I'm also going to try making and freezing guacamole. I wish I could send some to you guys, they're SOOOO expensive this year! The Haas avocado, tho, has developed a good case of persea mites. Usually I buy and distribute predatory mites in spring, but I was recovering from surgery and then went thru radiation treatment, so I didn't get achance. I was hoping that the weather would cooperate and help the tree escape mites, but the weather has turned warm and humid .... very mite-friendly... so the best I can do at this point is hose off the leaves and hope to knock some of them down and drown them. So that's it for the veggies!
Also, today ... vacuuming. The house is filthy.
