Good morning all, well, we did break another record yesterday, 116. One more day of the "excessive heat warning", and we're back to just under 110 for a while. Got the weeds pulled and everything else trimmed, the yard guy finally showed up. He says the speaker on his phone doesn't work, that's why he took so long to get to us. 
Was reading, "Sherman's Lagoon" comics this morning, they were talking about plastic waste. Buy a bottle of water or soda for around 50 cents, use it once, but the bottle lasts for thousands of years. Buy a cell phone for around $1200, use it a lot, but it only lasts a few years. Both makes little sense. Our city no longer recycles, they want you to separate, garbage in the black container, recyclables in the blue one. However, they pick them both up at the same time and they wind up in the same truck going to the landfill. Too expensive to recycle they say, no market either. They do have a recycle bin at one of the fire stations though, all this still makes little sense. 
Just a point to ponder. Why do we pay over $1000 for a "smart" phone with a tiny display when you can get a "smart" TV with a huge display for half that?
