It's been hotter than the

It's been hotter than the sunny side of Hades here in San Jose these past few days, and over the past two days, I've drunk about 5 liters of water.

My sister and I ran some errands this morning before having our weekly brunch together. We decided we'd go to Sono Sushi in Mountain View this time around. My sister, unbeknownst to me, had never been in a sushi boat restaurant, so she marveled at the little bamboo boats as they floated along carrying their delicious cargo of rice and fish. Along with the little plates of sushi, a lollipop was placed on the ends of the sushi boats, a pleasant aftermeal treat. It's easy to forget sometimes the little things we take for granted, and sometimes it takes someone pointing things out for us to recognize these things.
