0:00.0	From Bonnie London Town, this is obscure season 4 in American tragedy.
0:16.0	I am your host, your friend, your lover, your literary mansplainer in chief and Georgian
0:22.3	ologist Michael E. and Black Southern gentlemen as well with much to discuss, maybe even much
0:30.9	to discuss, the wife and I, trundled out into the brisk London summer air, it's I'm recording
0:39.9	this on the 4th of July and it's been an overcast and rainy 4th of July here in London.
0:46.9	One of the reasons, there are two chief reasons we came to London over the summer.
0:53.9	The first is that we did not quite feel like returning to the United States of America.
1:01.6	The second is because, I guess there's three, because we could not stay in Italy longer than
1:08.6	three months or in any of the Schengen countries. We had to find someplace else to go.
1:16.3	The UK is one of the few places in Europe where we could go and London seemed especially attractive
1:22.7	to me because if there's one thing I hate, it's a hot humid summer. I do not care for this

1:52.7	week and maybe last week and you know it gets up maybe to the mid 80s and the Londoners here
1:58.3	apologize to you when it gets into the mid 80s. Oh, sorry, it's so hot and you think to yourself,
2:04.3	oh, if this is as bad as it gets, brother, we're in for a good time because I don't care for that
2:10.3	prickly, rashi feeling on the back of my neck when the sun is beaten down and so, you know, if I look
2:17.6	out, if I look out the window on July 4th and it's overcast in drizzly and it's 67 degrees outside,
2:22.7	I'm thinking to myself, T-rific. Man, this is just my kind of weather. I love it. Not to say I love
2:29.8	London. It's fine, but I do love the weather. At least the summer weather. I'll take it every day
2:35.8	of the week in July overcast in drizzly. I love it. But anyway, it's going to be rain, it was raining
