1. Overheard on the street while we waited at red light yesterday:

"That's it! You and me are officially broke up!"

- odd gestures from man some distance down the street, accompanied by odd facial expression. Neither gestures nor expression were obscene.

"I'm gonna fuck that kid!"

- gestures, expression

"I'm gonna get laid by him tonight! Because you don't care about me!"

Green light! Yay!

Freaks. I love this city.

2. My daughter loves reality TV. Tonight we were watching "Crash Test Mommy", a wonderful program. The premise is that a mother who "is doing everything wrong" gets to go away for 2 days while her biggest critic gets to "show her how it's done".

The husband tonight didn't do such a great job. Heh heh. It's wrong to laugh, but he had to call his mother to figure out how to make dinner and then didn't know where any of the stuff was that she told him to get. Olive oil, for example.

I liked the one with the single sister who still lived in her parent's basement. Though she actually did better than the husband from tonight's show.

Tomorrow night, DD and I will watch Treasure Hunters. Tuesday is Fear Factor. Wednesday and Thursday are America's Got Talent. And Friday, OLN is running repeats of the first season of TAR.

3. It's been hot, but not so hot that a few fans won't do the trick. It's been cool in the evenings, so that's nice.

4. Tomatoes! I have fresh ripe tomatoes! Only the Roma kind, so far, but they are ready to become sauce. The eating tomatoes should be ready starting tomorrow. Toasted tomatoes sammiches...

5. We didn't have anything planned for this weekend, which is odd, because it's a long weekend and I usually plan those.

6. There was a clunk in the front end of the car. We thought it might be the struts. DH was worried because we had the car in for exactly this a couple months ago and it cost hundreds of dollars. He took it to a couple places - the For d dealership said "bring it back Wednesday" (and not too politely), Canadian Tire (who had fixed it before) said "we'll diagnose it for $60" and the local guy said "Here, gimme the keys and I'll drive it around. Yep, that's a clunk. Here, let me put it up on the hoist. Oh, the part you had replaced just came loose. I'll tighten it for you. No, you don't owe me anything, but just don't go to Canadian Tire for repairs again." So we won't.
