As I write this, I’m sitting in Sarah’s house, where it’s not 95 degrees inside and humid (the dehumidifier has been turned on on my portable AC at my house, but it will take time for it to cool down enough; it was 101 when I left Friday night). I’ll be ordering a shade cloth to cover the bedroom window to cut down the heat, and will plant a tree in front of it this fall.
The heat has been getting worse each year, and I’ve been lucky enough the past couple of years to be able to stay with Sarah when it got too bad.
But sure, climate change isn’t happening. Sorry, I get cranky when it’s hot. I need to think cool thoughts.
The original cool cat in my life on top of my mom’s fridge. Which is why I’ve always kept cereal boxes on top of mine.
Where do you keep the good stuff? I’m not interested in orange juice and Sprite! Image found on The Funniest Animal 2017.
Pardon me, but can we talk about how pitiful the selection is in here? Image found on KittenToob.
Actually, I usually open the freezer door and stick my head in. It helps. Image found on Roaming Rosie.
Did you eat the last of the chicken? I wanted that! Image found on Pinterest.
What? You think I was trying to steal these steaks? I’m vegetarian! Image found on HuffPost UK.
Hey, Ma, we’re out of bacon! GIF found on Tenor.
Priorities: Plenty of cold drinks, and a cool pup. Image found on Pinterest.
Ooooh … can we get a six-pack? Image found on imgflip.
But if you want a chilly dog … Image found on cheezburger.
He’s not in a fridge, but Charlie is cool and comfy.
“Climate change”? “Climate Change”? What “Climate Change”? Seriously, though, I have noticed some changes in the weather here during the sixty something years I have been alive.
Brenda I am glad to read that you haven’t melted–yet. If you do melt, I am sure that the physicians at UAMS will be able to re-constitute you quickly as in un-melt you.
If the physicians at UAMS are unable to re-constitute you, what music (songs, etc.) would you like for us to play at your funeral and memorial service?
This reminds me that I purchased a large, square box fan just for my Golden Retriever to help keep him cool during the summer. He really loved his fan and would sit in front of it for hours. One day when the electricity was off, he kept sniffing at the fan and looking at me as if wanted to ask why the fan was not working.
I always tried to make sure this dog had plenty of fresh water. I purchased the fan as a backup and supplement to the air conditioning in my house. I was just trying to make sure my dog was as un-miserable as possible.
After you put your head in the freezer to cool it off, do you then re-attach your head to your neck? Or do you set your head down in a convenient spot until you need it again?
I have a side-by-side fridge/freezer and have been known to open both doors and stand in the middle. I don’t do heat. Period.
Climate change? Absolutely. Everything — heat, cold, wind, rain, drought — has become more extreme in recent years. You don’t have to be a degreed climatologist to see it.
Damage in Ark or up here in CO? Either way, hail that big can be lethal. Doesn’t seem fair that one person had that much damage. Just glad she wasn’t injured.
In this Wizard of Id cartoon, the king has just made an inspiring speech to the peasants. The king is standing in the castle balcony and the peasants are below him on the ground. The peasants are chanting over and over again repeatedly “Hail To The King!”. So of course hail starts falling but only on the castle balcony where the king is standing. None of the hail falls on the peasants who are standing on the ground.
I'm a retiree in his seventies. That may not be significant to many, since there is a bunch of us Baby Boomers around. However, in the year 2,000, when I received a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, I expected to be dead in three to five years.

Did Luke ever try to knock the cereal boxes off the top of your refrigerator?

He jumped up there once after I put cereal boxes on top and never did it again. It made too much noise. 😂

I figured “wind” covered straight winds, tornadoes, and hurricanes. But I should have included hail, which has gotten ridiculous in Colorado lately.

A friend had a lot of damage from softball-sized hail at her cabin, both to the metal roof and to her car a couple of weeks ago. It’s nuts.

She did see one woman who was hit in the head by hail. Rose was wise to stay inside. Her windshield can be replaced, but a head can’t.
