Seems like someone is always beating me these days.
A clear conscience is usually a sign of a bad memory

Better not to go off on it.

California has earthquakes, New Jersey has Cheesequake. It comes from the Lenape name Chesehohke because they couldn't pronounce Karaoke, and since White settlers couldn't pronounce either they called it Cheesequake. Actually it's part of Matawan but they hang onto the shaking cheese just so out-of-towners can ask WHHHAAAaaa? Since I live a short distance south it's just as hot here and since the south wind has returned it feels like a sauna. For you rail fans, today we had the classic heat related catenary sag around Amtrak Metropark Station so trains slowed to a crawl between Rahway and New Brunswick. The backup caused delays on the NJT North Jersey Coast Line, as of 6:00pm everybody back on schedule.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Quahog! Now, everybody Shipoopi!

Rahway, one who was born there can tell you there must be a Rightway or at least a Betterway! On the other hand (there are 5 fingers) if you find a pleasant point at the Beach let me know, it's hot on the sand and the ocean is... is... OH NO!!!
On edit: remember yesterday I mentioned sagging catenary on the NEC delayed trains? More delays today, this time heat playing hob with track geometry so trains are going slow to avoid derailing. Know what? Railroads these days are unfriendly, if they had more rail fans THIS wouldn't happen!
Oh you know it was hot today.
How hot was it?
Hot enough that in Queens, NY overhead wires caught fire!

The temperature has been peaking at 88 degrees the last two days. I have been at a cricket match the last two days. Only myself and another fellow have stuck it out on the top deck of the stand from 11.00 am to 6.00 pm. I refer to all the others who have hid downstairs under cover as the fairies.
Two more days to go. I said to the other fellow, think of this as training to get into something like Delta Force.
