You silly goose! AC can't be taken outside!!!

My point exactly - here in the arid semi-arctic wastes of Scotland we only know of the exotic climate control technology called "air conditioning" from old magazines handed to us by missionaries......

WATER! *gasp.. choke..wheeze* WAAAAAAATER! Iced TEA... Lemonade... *gasp...wheeze...*

Uh, hiya! It is MISERABLE up here, but has only really been bad this week. The humidity AND heat moved in together and it hit 100 or so yesterday. Governor sent all state workers home to save energy! And that had to be the day I'd already left an hour beforehand to see my dentist for a crown that popped off! Sheesh...

My central AC is earning it's keep, that's for sure!

You poor kitty!
Here, I have something much better than a dousing of water...how about a comfy spot on this loveseat under a vent blowing cold air...lots of good books within reach and the satellite T.V. as well...not good enough? There's an even comfier couch in the next room where you can watch just cable...still not good enough? Take your pick of beds in this house...every one sits in the path of an artic breeze! Or, you could do like the rest of the cats in this house and curl up on a number of tables and shelves that are also as cool as the prime spots I offered to begin with. The only room in this house that gets at all warm these days is the laundry room and that is because it is an add-on that doesn't have ventilation except from the outside.

Passing around a fresh tray of lemonade, iced water, teas and lemon squares to all who have to bear the heat/humidity.

My thermometer said 102F today. Get in my car with it's dark blue interior, fuzzy upholstery, no AC, and you probably top off at a good 115F. Had thunderstorms roll through earlier, but it didn't really cool it off much. I think I'm melting and my stupid FireFan isn't helping!

I've been reading about the incredible heat wave over the Northeast and Midwest, and it sounds intolerable. 110+ temps in New Jersey, of all things! We've got a high of 97 degrees in Texas today, and it's cloudy and looks like it's going to rain. Go figure!

For those of you in the northern areas of the U.S., are you guys coping all right? All seriousness now, heat CAN be deadly.

Sending all my friends huge kegs of Texas Iced Tea and Lemonade,


how about suffering heat exhaustion?
yeah that's what happened to me last weekend.... Plus I hear a football player and a fireman had died from it... I'm sure there's more
and few days ago, it was about 102 from where I live...
yesterday, heaven came
.........rain......
woo-hoo! boo-hah!
I actually stood outside in the rain...taking it ALL in!
had a blissful cool night....

Ahhhhhh! Another beeeautiful Minnesota summer day! Woke up to a temperature of 48F, and as the day progressed, the temps rose all the way to a lovely 72F.


*neeeners*



Actually, I think you all are getting the scorching temps we had last week. Hopefully our lovely weather will advance as far east as the rest of you.

search for truth, I am
now looking for a good
