The Heat (isn't) On

Honestly: I had nothing whatsoever to do with this.

Hot And Hotter

I'm known as a stickler when it comes to the news. 

So make certain you have your facts straight and up to date when you shoot information out to the public. 

It's not that I'm trying to be difficult or the ass of the day. Far from it. I just feel if you're serving the general public you have a duty in getting the information you report correct. The reasoning behind that speaks for itself: You're more likely to be thought of as reliable, timely and believable. 

Even if it's nothing more than a 3° differential.

Real Life Adventures In Construction - The Day Off (... a continuing series ...)

For Father's Day, I decided to take the day off (I worked continuously the 6 days prior, I thought I deserved a break) and catch Man Of Steel. 

The theater - Cinemark at The River - is 4.9 miles away from where I'm staying. Why not walk it? I didn't have much of a choice since my car wasn't with me. So what if the theater is two cities over? I got dressed and huffed it.

The film was fine, I enjoyed it. 

Leaving, I knew I had another 4.9 miles to go before I got home.  I hitched my backpack a little higher on my back and hit the road.

Some would call me foolish walking 10 miles in triple-digit temperatures. (It was 108° on the way home, a little cooler when I'd left.) I see it as an adventure.

When I can't do something like this any longer? Then - and only then - will you be able to call me foolish.

(Then again ... maybe it's better I simply don't take any more days off work ...)

You know ... you should really stop being foolish.
