Just wanted to apologize to everybody for the current heat-wave. Though Summer WAS scheduled to arrive this week, there was a minor malfunction in the Heating Pad (a cool hang out place where the Hot Heads manage temperature) -- and they got so excited about being a part of the Weather pattern that they went a little bit overboard and exceeded the 100 degree (Fahrenheit) mark.

To make a long story medium, I happened to get the Call to go and cool down the whole situation -- which unlike most Missions which entail a lot of mechanical work -- had a lot more to do with telling the Hot Heads to chill out -- and that they would get their chance in August to really jack up the mercury.

I will say that the Heating Pad is a very cool place -- kind of like a loft (though very warm) and the Hot Heads are a very interesting group. They can fly off at the handle sometimes, but usually respond to reason. Basically, I just talked to them boy to man and showed them some pictures of the suffering of people in The World due to the unexpected heat. They agreed to drop the humidity and then I put a call into the Department of Weather to move a cold front through (which caused those thunderstorms yesterday) -- so today (I hope) should be much better.

They've agreed to keep things chill for the next couple days, and so "Hot Town, Summer in The City," was deemed a successful Mission. That is very important because Fixers keep track of their records (like 10-0, or 12-3) like boxers and so far I am "undefeated." It wasn't the most glamorous Mission ever, but I'm hoping the drop in temperature will make a difference for the people of The World -- especially on the east coast -- like where I live!

Anyway, I'm getting ready for this dreaded vacation to The Cape with my family. Ugh. Life's a b*&% and then you go to A Better Place.

LTF, FTL

Becker!
