WARNING: A HEAT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THIS ENTIRE POST. DEHYDRATION AND RELATED HIGH TEMPERATURE ISSUES HAVE LIKELY COMPROMISED THE QUALITY AND COMPREHENSIBILITY OF THE FOLLOWING MATERIAL.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s been over 90\u00ba indoors all week. It’s hard to come up with coherent sentences, let alone enough rational thought to put together a decent post. (That’s the caveat, to aid you in lowering your expectations for what I might say in this post. I admit, it may be a total waste of your time.)<\/p>\n

Unrelated, but on my mind:<\/strong>
\nWe dropped off my daughter at (overnight) camp. It’s strange to arrive at this stage. Some camps have gotten techno-savvy. With a password, you can view photos from the day taken at camp. This was the cutest one of Ellie and her friends.<\/p>\n

What was I talking about originally, heat?<\/strong>
\nSo, did I mention it was incredibly hot? When you read 107\u00ba F on the outdoor thermometer, you start feeling grateful for the 92\u00ba F it is indoors<\/span>. At 7:30 a.m. it was a comparably chilly 76\u00ba …. I audibly gasped. (However I didn’t run for my jacket, despite my shock. I wanted to feel it-really feel it.)<\/p>\n

I tried climbing into the fridge, but several jars fell out. Only one leg would fit in. I’m building up my courage to get in the chest freezer next.<\/span> It’ll be much cooler, but will feel degrading to be hanging out with the meat. Especially if I end up hearing disco music. I’m thinking I’ll feel dirty and cheap about it all, like a window mannequin in a swim suit. (They feel that way, right?)<\/p>\n

Do you think more crime<\/span> happens when it’s quite hot because people get crazed? Or, maybe less crime because moving while thinking is so much harder? Or maybe,<\/strong> crime happens, but it’s accomplished far more stupidly, for reasons already identified?<\/p>\n

I don’t need central air conditioning…. this torment is too character building. (Do I sound like a martyr? I’m trying to be serious.)<\/p>\n

I’m praying for rain too. It’s starting to look like desert around here, not just feel like it.<\/p>\n

Around these parts, the elderly order (hot) soup when the extreme heat comes. Is it senility, or are they older and wiser about diet and body temperature?<\/p>\n

Any comments, thoughts? Without air conditioning…how you<\/span><\/strong> do beat the heat?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
