This isn’t running, working, walking, moving, or blogging weather. The only comfortable place to do anything is on or in water, and that’s why I’ve been scarce.
I only have to look to breaking local news to verify the extreme heat is not in my head. No, I don’t mean Robert Byrd being admitted to the hospital for symptoms of heat exhaustion and severe dehydration. I mean the reported spontaneous combustion of a dead plant in a hanging planter that was blamed for a fire that caused damage estimated at $3,000 to a townhouse here. I had no idea a dead plant could explode.
Anyhow, I’ll be back as the weather cools.
Peace
Just leaving the air condition scares me. But I still don’t miss the snow mountains of February 2010.

I usually like the heat after being in air conditioning, but knowing it was that hot ….
I still think I’d rather freeze to death than burn to death.
Meanwhile, I’m apt to join you on the water. I’m starting to make gravy.

Very good, I think I have an old gravy boat around here somewhere…
heh,
If dead plants explode I’d better tend to those things on my back deck pretty soon.
I wish I was a child and could run back and forth under the hose.
It’s been brutal, but the end is near water girl, the end is near.

Ouch – too hot.
ChrisJ recently posted..The Answer in the Question
definitely too hot.
I suppose if people can spontaneously combust so can plants. Most have been one giant forgotten plant.

I think we made the right choice when we bought on the Eastern Shore. We were by the water all weekend. It’s painful coming home, but we are packing our things, including work, and will be living and working out of our Eastern Shore home for the month of July.
It’s a benefit of being the boss. I am thinking of opening an office there next year and running he biz out of two places, spending the summer completely on the shore.
It’s going to be cooler tomorrow.

I am teaching summer classes starting after July 4th for 4 weeks, then I get two weeks to party then back to work and school. The air conditioning had better work. It goes out all the time, and there is no way to survive that here.
The pool is essential if I can’t make it to the beach.

Children can stand heat pretty well it’s you I’d be concerend about. ;)
Exploding Plants does sound like an underground punk band from back in the day. Heading to Cape May tomorrow so it can be hot all it wants.

I took a ferry from Lewes to Cape May last week. I love those old houses in Cape May. Enjoy.
I remember Ripley’s Believe It Or Not or That’s Incredible did a segment about spontaneous combustion one night. Freaked. Me. Out.
I was afraid I was gonna combust for like the next…. what year is this?

I was shocked to see a house fire started because of it…lord are we ever safe?
I live in Florida. There’s a pool right in my front yard (I live in an apartment complex) so usually I’m doing laps or enjoying the air conditioning. The humidity is thick enough to choke the shit out of you. So I feel your pain.
