“The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.” – Proverbs 22:7

Whoa, I watching the National last night when they did a segment on biblical scripture being used for financial planning. Who could think I’d get inspiration from not only the Christian Church but also Americans for financial reform?

Its bloody hot out! Its all anyone talks about on their twitter feeds, or facebook or on the radio.
Whenever it gets this hot out, I always remember listening to Big Wreck’s “That Song” as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old kid. It was insanely hot that summer and the family stereo was in the living room of my parent’s place in Coquitlam, the hottest room of the house. I put the song on repeat and just lay on the floor jamming it out.
Now to this day, the song reminds me of summer… but the lazy, hazy late afternoon summer days. Hanging out at home, bored and waiting for something to happen, which is basically the best times as a teenager.
This hot weather reminds me how much I truly enjoy my scooter. It is just plain fun tooling around on that thing in the summer time.
The one issue we’re having at the Casa La CorJ is sleep (oh and lack of sex, Coral won’t let me touch her in this heat!).
I read about some neat innovations and I think I want to MacGyver something up tonight.
One method calls for filling a pan or bucket with ice, then placing the bucket in front of the fan, like a poor man’s air conditioner… and if there is one thing I am, its a poor man!
The article had more than a couple tips so I am sure I’ll find something that works.
Go with yourself.
The Morning After 
my mom used to do that when i was a kid…
a giant salad bowl full of ice in front of the fan… and you point the fan down into it.
it’s not an air conditioner, but it’s better than nothing.
I’m trying the poor man’s AC for sure. Did you guys get the crazy storm on Sat night, too? I could use another one of those – that was awesome.
storm, check.
storm the Saturday night before in Edmonton? double check!
I think most guys are dealing with the no sex thing right now.
Also I like the poor mans AC but god knows in this heat by the time my head hits the pillow I will have a bucket of luke warm water.
lol – it must be really hard having your women half naked and glistening all night. we are horrible creatures 🙂 but you’re right – there’s no clearance for take off around here lately either.
My Favourite part of “That Song” is the part where Ian sings, “I really love that dude…”
