Musings of the South

First Real Blog

I was 'shopping around' so to speak for a blog builder. I came across many, as it has become an extremely popular thing for people with too much time on their hands. I was looking at Moveable Type, which at least two people that I know use. It requires Perl, though...and to be honest I have no idea what that is. I'm sure is software, but I don't really care to delve any deeper into it than that. I just wanted something easy. Easy this is!!

Additionally, I would like to take the time to mention right now that it looks like it's going to storm. How happy am I? Not very. It goes from being hotter than hades, to raining constantly, back and forth. I can't wait until the new system when we have more stable weather. I heard on the news today that 13,000 people in France have died from the heat. Mostly that's due to the fact that they don't have as much air conditioning there, so people just swelter in the heat. It's scary to think that many people died, from heat that is. If it was an overall combination of violence, heat and old age death tolls, that's more understandable. But just heat? That seems bizzare, at least for a country as advanced as France. I just know, I am thankful for my air conditioning.
