@Bea Look, even today, there are still kids out there whose parents just can't swing those high-end tech gadgets, though they’re definitely in the minority these days. It’s like trying to keep up with the Joneses when you're working a blue-collar job in a small town—some people just don't have that kind of disposable income. Regardless, you still have to draw a line in the sand somewhere. You can't just let the tech dictate everything.

It’s not like the global temperature spiked by twenty degrees since I graduated. We followed the exact same grind—September through June, sitting in those desks every single day for seven hours, plus Saturdays. And look, we're still standing. Honestly, it feels like kids these days are just being raised way too soft.
Regardless, it isn't normal. You finished your schooling before the absolute madness kicked off back in 2003. Sure, it might not be hitting 105 degrees like it does in Montpelier, but that doesn't make this any more acceptable.
I honestly think it all boils down to how much quality time parents actually carve out for their kids when they’re drowning in work. That’s the heart of the issue right there.
I think The New York Times just started releasing DVDs of that series. I actually just borrowed a copy to check it out myself. Apparently, they've got a new one dropping this Wednesday.
I think I’m going to have to head back over to the mechanic at Pep Boys; my car is acting up again and giving me nothing but trouble down in the chassis.
Look, you’re right—call me a weather fanatic if you want, I’ll take the title. But seriously, does anyone know if there's an actual alternative to dealing with this? It's incredibly uncomfortable, and honestly, I’m getting pretty tired of having to jump in the shower every single time the humidity spikes just to feel human again.
