I like this particular batch very much. I mean, I like them all, but this one made me think a bit more than previous ones (everything to do with me, not the aphorisms).

I may expound on the peasant one a bit.

It has turned very hot, which is typical. Otherwise, my "official" vacation starts this Friday, and I'm looking forward to checking out from work for a few weeks so I can concentrate more time on far more important things.

"concentrate more time" . . . Ha, what the hell does that even mean? Anyway, I hope you get where I'm coming from.

over here it's normal to get hot, but it's been too much. over 40 degrees c for weeks at a time. so i'm melting aha. i hope over there it's not that bad and that you have a great time off.
