we're having a heat wave...

Remember when doing the wave at a sporting event or other large crowd gathering was fun. Well, when there's a heat wave, all the fun is gone and no one wants to be in a large crowd of sweaty, smelly, cranky people period. There's no coordinating of standing and waving arms above heads--no one wants to raise his or her hands above heads because there are some major sweat stains under the arms and there is, as mentioned a couple of days ago, a very sizable chance that your deodorant has taken a vacation and left your armpits to fend for themselves. Armpits do not fend well. They of-fend. Sorry, I couldn't resist that. My apologies to all the pun-o-philes out there in bloggerslund. Anywhoo, we continue to play Icarus here in YC and all of our wings are melting. If I want eggs for breakfast, I don't have to fire up the stove, I can just take the frying pan outside, place it on the sidewalk for about 5 minutes, drop in the eggs and, voila, I have fried eggs (or scrambled if I have the energy to push a fork around in the yolky mixutre). Toast can be made by place bread on the hood of the car and the fruit is ripening and heating up on the tree in my yard (apricots), that I can just take one, open it and spread it on the auto-toasted toast. I have learned that too many apricots are not a good thing. Ahem. It's a delicate subject. Let's just say that there's no place for Metamucil when there are lots of fresh apricots around...

Tomorrow the weather forecaster has promised more 100 degree weather, but then Saturday, a cold front is moving in and we'll only hit 93! Get out the woolies and the snowboots!
