Today

I'm trying to hold out for a while before turning the ACs on.  The temps seem to be obeying the ironclad rule that a heat wave must set in during the first week of July.  On the other hand, unless I'm misreading the weather sites, the humidity is unusually low for this kind of heat.

A friendly reminder that you have 24 hours to shovel your sidewalks after a snowstorm ends.

I can't believe I'm so excited it's going down (!?!) to 90 by Thursday...

I just came back inside from doing a tiny bit of yard work and believe that I can report with complete confidence that it is F_IN'! hot out there.

I saw a dog chasing a cat and they were both walking.

Maplewood 96, Florida 92.

It is literally hotter than Hell.

You call this HOT? This is NOTHING!!!

In SC, we've had 16 straight in the mid-90's, with the possibility that Tues/Wed may only go up to 88/89, then back to the 90's. Of course, we also have the normal 90%+ humidity to make it even nicer. So, I can sympathize with you, but not too much

My daughter has lived in Savannah for the past six years. Actually, I get it....

 It was so cold in Florida today, the Mets won.

Went to Costco today.

Among other things, bought 4 lbs of butter.

Came home, left it in the trunk.

Realized it two hours later.

Luckily, it survived. Barely. It's pretty mushy though.

 Just thinking about how you would get the smell of 4lbs of rancid butter out of a car if the container wasn't molten butter proof.

I would tread lightly my friend, you have had your karma pay off for this month.

I once forgot a pound of raw chicken breast in my trunk for a week in July.  Surprisingly the smell was easier to get out than the time my e-MIL left watermelon in my trunk in the middle of summer. Rotten watermelon is EVIL

Of course, there was that one time that my ex-FIL died in July, but wasn’t found until August since he lived alone...

 Puzzled over e-MIL for a moment and then chuckled.  I haven't heard that one before.

It was hot today, but I enjoyed myself on my bike. I don't know why it didn't bother me. I guess I'd rather be outside than inside in extreme heat.

In our home, we now have ceiling fans. I wish I had invested in them earlier. I can run the A/C on low for a short time and then turn it off, and the fan will recirculate the cool air for a long time. The installation is a b*tch, but once it's in, it's in. And it's silent.

I see your rotten watermelon and raise you kale in a bag. Went to Costco, got groceries, forgot the kale in the car for several hours. OMG it took a week to get the smell out, it was horrendous.

 What is up with seemingly innocent vegetable matter suddenly turning evil?  I once had to empty a vase of calla lillies and those things were foul

 Installing ceiling fans in our house is probably one of the best investments I've made.

 Seriously!

It's so hot... I saw a squirrel fanning his nuts.

(I never get tired of old one-liners)

It's so hot in my office, I just watched two hobbits walk by and throw a ring through the window.
