Stardate 06/28/2005 (Heat-Nevermore)

It's starting to heat up out there! I can feel it coming....The heat...Overwhelming us with intense waves...Radiating out in every direction...Drying out the senses...Consuming life... Sucking the soul of all feeling...

Ok-So maybe the heat is not that bad...But it is coming.

This place drives me crazy. It's not just the heat either (which is nothing compared to my birthplace-Texas-Where it is 90 degrees on Christmas.) It's the sadness, the despair, the hopelessness of all that surrounds us here.

Now, to make things even worse-The birds are dying! Birds all over the city are contracting the West Nile disease. There is, even now as I write, a baby crow downstairs in the courtyard waiting for the hand of death to take it's grip. It's maddening.

Must move soon...Madness is catching.
