My mind is blown by the fact that you weren't wearing pants.

Casual job?

OMG That is incredible! I'm betting you are right! (or maybe a bit the other way as well).

No.
If it was a nudist resort, he wouldn't be wearing a shirt. He'd be wearing a nipple clip name tag.

Probably a retirement village Chippendale's.

Just to be clear, I always wore (and still do) a clean shirt to work. It's just that I had several of the same style and color. I'm a creature of habit. Not quite as bad as Monk (the detective) but close!

It's the tenth day on a roll with bright sun and average temp above 32 C. Me, living on the 8th floor of a very sunny cooperation and having no air conditioning. I start to hate the weather...

My father in law (78) is spending Sunday with us. He loves racing cars. Little Daughter (3) loves cartoons. He is watching a National Geographic on the Ferrari factory and she is watching a cartoon on the little DVD player. They are in the same room. On the same couch, she has her DVD player on the coffee table.

I went there to ask them is they were hungry already. They did not even look at me. I hollered an invitational yodel, they both turned their head in my direction and then back to their show.

The sphere of sound + hereditarity.

I could simulate a power failure, but I need the power to cook dinner. Pasta al pesto (with string beans inside). fruit for dessert, melon for entree. Cote de Provence (Ramatuelle).
Very hot day
