Feeling The Heat

 Daddy Steve: Here in Gregoropolis, we were having a cool (almost chilly) summer until suddenly we were not...

Luke: Gosh, it's hotter than blazes!
Oliver: Hey, it's my turn now!
Uli: Shut ice box door at vonce, bitte!
Serena: I guess we know why the ice cream has been so soft lately.

Dan Ryan: Annabelle doesn't like this heat either.
Annabelle: >pant, pant, pant<
Harriet: With all that fur, I can't blame her.  Here, girl, have some cool water.

Meghan: Good grief, it's hot!

Holly Belle: How can we live in a place that's so cold in the winter,
and yet so hot in the summer?!  It's ridiculous!

Patrick: Actually, the answer is simple.  It's because we are landlocked in the geographic center
of the continent.  Without any large bodies of water to act as a buffer, the region becomes 
a funnel for extreme hot air masses from the south, and frigid arctic air from Canada.

Holly Belle: Hmmpf, typical man.  You ask a question and they come right back with an answer.
Meghan: Don 't they realize we just need to be heard?

Patrick: Hmmm, apparently not.
Ravi: Well, I loved your explanation.
Patrick: Thank you!

Rainy Day Fund / Blogcation

 

Luke: Bwah-ha-ha-ha!
I'm going to be rich!  Faaaaabulously wealthy!

Nicholas Sahara: I say, Lukas old chap, whatever are you up to?

Luke: I overheard Daddy John talk about 'pennies from heaven.'
The weather guy on Channel 11 said it's supposed to rain tonight, so I thought I'd 
just get out the buckets and watch them overflow with money-money-money!

Nicholas: Oh, dear...
Scot-Michael: Don't look at me.  You asked.


While Luke awaits untold riches, the rest of Gregoropolis is taking
a brief summer holiday.  We'll be back in July as we prepare for the
Manchester (NH) Sasha Festival!  See you soon!

By Any Other Name...

 

Natalie: Ooooh, so pretty!

Paul: You know, lots of girls' names are inspired by flowers.
Natalie: You don't say.

Paul: Well, there's Iris, obviously, but also Lily, Rose, Violet, Daisy, Hyacinth...

Natalie: And Cupcake.  Don't forget that one.

Paul: "Cupcake"?!?  I've never heard of a girl with that name!
Natalie: Perhaps you just lead a very sheltered life.

Paul: Besides, cupcakes don't grow like flowers.
Natalie: >Sigh< No, no they don't.

Natalie: But in a perfect world, they would!
