Day Two of Vacation At Home - high temperature forecast is 103 degrees! Ack! I consider myself a polar otter. When I got home from a late flick last night (almost midnight) it was still well above 90 degrees outside, and house was still about 85 degrees.

In times of trouble in my life, in my night time dreams I often dream I am onion-blind. That is, I am have a dream about one thing or another, I feel I can't see, it is the type of not seeing that happens to me when I chop onions. Eyes so burning and stinging I can't see anything.I did a web search on "dreams meaning blind" and the most salient definition I can find is that my conscious mind things I'm overlooking something important. Literally.
