If You Can't Stand the Heat, Get Out of the Kitchen...

The world is burning up. I must get to the North Pole while there is still ice, because it's melting. "I'm melting, melting...what a world, what a world..."Sorry, that was a quote from the Wizard Of Oz, a true American classic movie.
A heat wave is 3 or more consecutive days of a temperature (in fahrenheit) of at least 90 degrees. Yes , we are in a heat wave here in Connecticut. It was a record 102 degrees yesterday, and will be (they say) at least 95 today. And the heat wave will continue for at least 1 or 2 days after that. I love the summer. That last was a sarcastic untruth (lie). The summer has never been a really good time for me. Actually, it's never been a good time of year for anyone in my family. I know, I'm complaining again. Can't help it. I really don't like hot and steamy (very humid tropical air flow) weather. If it wasn't for air conditioning I really would simply melt in a horrifying and extremely uncomfortable manner. Ah well. Winter's coming. I can't wait.
For those of you in this heat wave with me, be careful out there. The air quality is not healthy right now, and probably won't be until we are out of the tropical air flow coming up from the south. So stay out of the sun as much as you can, and try to be somewhere where there is air conditioning. The world itself may not be melting, but it certainly feels like it. Think I'll take a cold shower...
