Heh. Thanks for reminding me to be happy about the fact that I live in Seattle. Here, there are no worries (as far as I'm aware, at least!) about cursing pets or spontaneous combustion of pedestrians...

Well, not since about a week ago, no. (Granted, it wasn't as hot then as it still is elsewhere in the US right now, or in fact as it routinely is in, say, Virginia in the summer.) :)
