I recently moved cities, (from Kansas City to St. Louis) and the weather hasn’t really been hot since we spent a day moving all our stuff (that day was hot), but with it being summer and all, and because I’m not creative enough to come up with something better, this is the staying cool edition.
Hosting a carnival is a lot of fun, but it also ends up being a lot of work. I just got a new Mac. I love it, but I’m still getting the hang of it (I’ve always had PCs before). The Mac is making it even more time intensive than it typically is (boo). Anyway, lots of submissions, and lots of good stuff to read. Here were some of my favorites:

Nice carnival! Thanks for including Funny’s squib on organizing paperwork.
Enjoy the Mac. I made the switch several years ago and still am trying to figure out how to work the thing. Macs do some really neat things.
Very COOL job on the carnival. Thanks for hosting!
Great job with the carnival, and thanks for the Editor’s Pick!
Good Job! Thanks for including my post.
Hey, nice job! Thanks for the mention.
I love the Fonz!
Thanks for including my article as an editors pick! I appreciate it.
Thanks for hosting and for the Editor’s Pick!
Funny, when I got my Mac I hosted a carnival like the next week. I had to do the whole thing with the touchpad since I didn’t have a mouse. Definitely made the whole process more time consuming!
