I like things that are cool
Except when stocks go down.

Hot is in our vernacular. Hot under the collar, Hot off the press, Too hot to handle, Get into hot water, Blow hot and cold, Hot and bothered, Sells like hot cakes, On the hot seat. We have heated arguments and always try to beat the heat We live in the heat of the moment and we’re having a heat wave. El Nino is hotter than ever and weird fish are swimming north because the water is hot. And every night we see weather maps colored in intense red. Because they want us to feel hot.

“Taxation without representation” was the one of the underlying rallying cries that fueled the Revolutionary War. Up here in RI, the first state to attack British revenue ships, 40 out of state land owners are suing the state for exactly that reason. Yes, the sponsor of the bill said on the record she is confident with her bill to collect extra money form nonresidents because she knows, “Being nonresidents, I know they never voted for me.” And they can’t vote her out. If RI ever decided to open the doors to successful businesses, they wouldn't need coca mamey schemes, or revenue from lawsuits against big successful industries.
The heat is hard on my golf. At least that's my latest excuse.
