So hot the Jello salad melted

Yesterday was the date of my annual Birthday Crabfeast Extravaganza. Little late this year as my actual birthday was two weeks ago, but as Steph says, might as well milk it as long as you can. It was HOT...a little like having a crabfeast in Hell. My planning cohort Erin and I agreed on 4 p.m. as a good time to start which was about 2 hours too early. What gave me the idea that it was too hot? Hmmm. Could've been the beads of sweat streaming down Vince's face. Or when Erin shoved a paper towel down her shirt. Or when I almost passed out.

Overall, it was a success. A full bushel of crabs, 2 pounds of steamed shrimp, fresh tuna steaks caught Friday, and two loaves of french bread were finished off completely. And my recycling bin is now full of beer bottles.

I'm wearing black for some insane reason. (Click to enlarge)

I was totally hogging the shade umbrella. And whenever the sun would hit my arm, I would ask John to move it for me.

You should have gotten a picture of the Hpnotiq. That sutff did some damage.

Pennsylvania is sucktastic right now. Bad bad bad bad muggy weather. Too bad you crabstaters can't just take an exacto knife and cut your state away from ours and paddle down so that Maryland is now a state in southern Argentina, near the arctic.

(I heard when I was a little kid that SCI patients don't sweat. Guess no Santa, either, eh?)
