And yet another lying politician is found out. They just don't learn, do they?
Not that Condit or what might happen to him is going to make any difference in my life or in the country... nothing is going to change. Politicians... crooks and liars and sometimes killers. Not saying that Condit has anything to do with that girl's disappearance, not at all. But we already know that he's a liar. No, that doesn't mean that he's a killer too, that doesn't logically follow at all. But... how do we interpret his statement that he had nothing to do with her disappearance? Huh? Huh? Another *hot* day. This is what I really hate about Texas. Uh... Kansas, I meant Kansas. But it is cooler right now in Huntsville that it is in Topeka. Or in Enid, Oklahoma even. Every little once-in-a-while in the summer, we get these... things... from about Dallas on north to Minneapolis. The hot air just sits here, and sits, and sits. Doesn't go away for days or weeks. Doesn't change. This is why people smoke. And fry. But not me... I'm neither smoking nor frying. I'm sitting here running up the electricity bill. I should go sit in the Subaru and run the AC there... gas has gone down to $1.19 for regular unleaded here. This not smoking thing... it's going to go on for the rest of my life. I'm getting used to that fact, I think. Coming to terms with it. Getting comfortable being a non-smoker. One of the night nurses in the ER sent me a pan of brownies today... for not smoking. Along with a clever, sweet note. I sure do miss my nighttime friends and coworkers, dammit. But y'can't have everything... maybe eventually, they'll all move to days, I can only hope! I got called in tonight right after I got home, and before I left I'd done five patients from the ER. I'm on call again Wednesday, then Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I don't really mind call, though. It's not like I really get out and do stuff, after all... and it's a good way to make money. Every time I get called, I get an hour and a half at time-and-a-half. Unfortunately, on nights like tonight, I only got about two hours for five patients. Everything is timing... everything.
