We’re not talking, “My, a warm one today.” We’re talking just a tick short of utterly ennervating heat where everything goes still and the only sound is grass sizzling. A tick short of that, but only a tick.<\/p>\n
We’ve been having temps in the 90s all week. And last week, too. I understand enough about weather variations not knee-jerk refer this to Global Warming, but it’s been unusually, persistently warm this summer.<\/p>\n
Enough so that I actually asked Margie if she wanted me to arrange to have someone come out to give us an estimate about air conditioning. “Not during the summer,” she said wisely, and wearily. She’s borne the brunt of the heat, working here at home with the Kitten during most of the hottest days.<\/p>\n
Hot. Hot. Hot.<\/p>\n
And she observed that the temps for the rest of the week have been upgraded from 90-95 to 95-100. And if it gets hot enough, you’ll see my WeatherPixie strip down to his underwear.<\/p>\n
You have been warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
