We have had a remarkable summer so far. Just last week I was remarking that I couldn’t believe it was June already, it was so nice. But this week has brought summer proper, and today was a charming 105. I had 5 meetings today, 3 half a mile across campus, and all three at different times. To top it off they were for a search committee so I opted for long pants today. It was a scorcher.

So by the end of the day I was waiting for the bus and I looked up to see a sign:

CACTUSCARD

get yours here

“Custard!” I parse. Awesome, we don’t have any frozen custard stores in town that I know of. No wait, that didn’t say custard. “What the hell is a cac tussard?” is my next stop. Cac Tussard? What a stupid sign. Then I looked up, saw it was a mockup of a card, and pulled it all together.
