I have nothing funny to say. Our A/C died yesterday and it feels like Hell here. Literally. I am not exaggerating at all. It is so hot that things are starting to spontaneously combust into flames. It is so that if I move too much I work up a sweat. I dehydrated myself walking to the living room earlier.
Now, I know some of you may be in areas of the world that experience actual seasons, but here in SW Florida we don’t get seasons. We Hot, Hotter, Hottest, and Boiling. Hot is our Winter. So, while every one else is enjoying a cool Holiday season, I’m sweating out of every pore just sitting in front of the computer. I feel so icky and sticky.
Come on, where is our cold front?! We’re due at least one week of cool weather here, where is it?!?! GAH!
Not only do I not have anything funny to say, but I may also be a little grumpy.
So, yeah, our A/C, which is like 16 years old, has probably uttered its last gasps Sunday night. The repairman came out Monday and discovered that some how, some way, the A/C’s warranty paper got jammed into the motor and fried the air blower motor thing-a-ma-bob. That’s irony, right? I’m pretty sure it is. Anyway, the broken piece can be replaced, if they can find anyone that still makes replacement parts for our A/C unit, which is questionable because our A/C unit is 16 years old. Which means we may have to replace the entire thing. Which really is something one doesn’t look forward to on any given day, especially when one is trying to sell one’s home and one doesn’t want to have to invest anymore money into one’s home.
Like I said, I may be a little grumpy.
Hanukah’s still got 3 nights left. If anyone’s wondering what to get me, a new A/C is at the top of my list. Failing that, I’ll just take someone to buy this condo.

You know what I’ve been getting lately? Complaints. Complaints that Rupert & Me isn’t a daily, 7 days a week comic.
I love those kind of complaints.
Look, here’s the deal, Rupert & Me can go to a full 7 day schedule, but I need start showing a profit here. That means we need more readers, more fans and more people buying stuff and/or making donations. If I can show my wife that we’re making a profit, she’ll let me do Rupert & Me all the time till the cows come home.
So, now you know who’s in charge around here.

I’ll let Tom Leher handle the funny for today and I’ll see everyone back here on Thursday. Happy Hanukah.
