If I ever find a pitcher who has heat, a good curve, and a slider, I might seriously consider marrying him, or at least proposing.

Since we're "stuck" at home during the coming heat wave, I thought this situation would become too frequent.
Father's snoring grows to sound increasingly like a vacuum cleaner in heat.
Margaret Halsey
In hot days like the ones coming up, its best to remember Winston Churchill's thoughts on staying hydrated:
The gin and tonic has saved more Englishmen's lives, and minds, than all the doctors in the Empire.

In honor of new "Washer Dryer day":
When a husband says, "I run things in my home" he may mean the washing machine, the dishwasher and the vacuum cleaner.

A week filled up with selfishness, and the Sabbath stuffed full of religious exercises, will make a good Pharisee, but a poor Christian.

Did lawn mowing and some tree removal yesterday.
Before most people start boasting about their family tree, they already have done a good pruning job.

We're watching our 12 YO grandson Sunday: Its been a while since we had a teenager (13 in July) around.
The best way to keep children at home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant, and let the air out of the tires.

Happy Fourth everyone !!
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.
Thomas Paine
Ran across this one that summarizes the American experience:
You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.

Today marks the 1937 introduction of SPAM to the world. Nine BILLION cans later, Monty Pithon scriptwriters are still using it as a source.
You might be a redneck if, in an effort to watch your cholesterol, you eat Spam Lite.

Steven Wright Same is true in California right now. 100+ since Tuesday continuing through next week Friday in the inland areas. I'm sitting in a cool 74 on the coast now but will have to return to the furnace in a few days. At least it's a dry heat. |

After yesterday's 100+ heat indices we are now looking forward to the remnants of Beryl to break the weather. Meantime:

Heat, heat and more heat for a couple of days.
Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
