Well, summer is upon we Cackalackians - Not too hot, but pretty humid and muggy. I'm proud to say that I have, for the most part, adapted to the Southern weather, although I must say it boggles the mind to imagine life before air conditioning. No wonder the south lost the war. That reminds me of some of those pseudo-scientific theories about climate and temperature being a primary determinant for cultural aggression and, consequently, development. Rather silly. But, I guess, maybe not entirely untrue.
By the way, my memory -- and Google -- tells me that "We" is the correct first-person plural personal pronoun for subjects, while "Us" is for objects (direct and otherwise). So, why do I hear learned people mis-use "Us" so frequently? Sigh. I really need to read some sort of remedial grammar book (I even own an excellent one, The Deluxe Transitive Vampire.)
Anyhoo, there is life news on the horizon. For the none of you out there reading, hold on for an announcement soon.
