Gamification!
Adult chores would be better if they were more like World of Warcraft daily quests.
If I could turn in five mown lawns or ten folded laundry baskets for a special title or a pretty hat or a magic sword, life would be way cooler.

Uh...
Bitching about "data centers" is becoming a bipartisan thing, which I guess is okay, on balance. Still, people are doing so on social media and, uh, I hate to be the one to break it to everyone but Facebook and Blogger are not hosted on a Commodore VIC-20 running in a closet in someone's spare bedroom.
I fear we may have gone a Glonzo too far, gentlemen.

Quickie Range Trip...
 |
| Sig SP2022 in a Milt Sparks Summer Special and a P320 XFULL with a tungsten-infused TXG frame* in Dark Star Gear kydex. |
Spent a whole fifteen minutes on the range at Marion County Fish & Game yesterday before wilting like steamed broccoli overdone in the microwave.
I had loaded all the magazines ahead of time, and so I was in and out for the amount of time it took me to carry my stuff to the line, snap a picture, ring steel 115 times from 20 yards, carry my gear back to the car, and leave.
I signed in at the clubhouse at 0929 and signed out at 0945, so the actual shootin’ time was… brief. Thermometer in the car read 88 degrees in the shade and the humidity down there on the banks of Eagle Creek is notoriously sticky. Humidity was 90% at the airport, so probably closer to 95% at the range.
*Those tungsten infused P320 frames are the berries. That thing weighs like a heavy 1911. With that 115gr range ammo, you can just go ham on a steel target making it ring like a telephone, and the gun hardly moves.

Sticky...
The center of this high pressure system was supposed to depart for parts east this evening, so as to cook New Yorkers and denizens of the MidAtlantic seaboard, but apparently it decided to linger in the midwest another day. So tomorrow is going to be a repeat of yesterday, mid nineties and sticky.
The break in the weather has been rolled back to Saturday, with more typical mid-80s returning early next week after a rainy weekend.
This morning's predawn perambulation was in 76℉ and 90% humidity. I wish that 90% humidity felt noticeably different to 95%, but alas it does not.

Overheard in the Kitchen...
Bobbi is down at one end of the long, narrow galley-style kitchen, putting groceries away.
Me: "While you're down there, can you pass me a Mountain Dew?"RX: *reaches into refrigerator, grabs can, looks at it dubiously* "'Dirty Mountain Dew'? Mountain Dew with cream soda? That's like the Navy's Army's Air Force."

Daily Low
The heat wave is definitely here.
Just before sunrise this morning it was 77℉ and 90% humidity and I'm afraid that's as good as it's going to get today.
I'm gonna try and dip over to the outdoor range just after nine, as soon as morning rush hour's over, to get my shooting in before it gets too swamp-ass hot out there to bother.
