where's the swimming pool?

The weather forecaster finally got something right--it's hot, hot, hot here today! That makes up for all the "it's going to rain" forecasts that came to nothing this past winter.

I went to the grocery store on my way home today, my usual thrill on Friday afternoon, and I broke the speed limit coming home because everything I bought was either melting or cooking while I drove through town. So much for the AC in my car. It was no match for Mr. Sun, a.k.a. "I'm Hot and I Know It". Now the rest of us know it too. No one likes a smarty pants...

I had great ambitions for this afternoon--left work early today, but ended up talking on my cell phone in the parking lot of my office to trades and suppliers for half-an-hour before I could actually leave the area. Now I'm thinking I'll just take a little nap and then I'll do all my "chores" tonight when it's a little cooler. The AC is running and it feels so nice. No wonder people lived short lives and were grumpy in the "olden days". They wore corsettes, button-up shoes, high necked shirts and blouses and had no AC. I'd have been grouchy and died young myself. The alternative in modern society is to be grouchy and take a long nap. ZZZZZZZzzzzz
