Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Oh Very Well. (To quote Senior Chief Hubble) Louisiana in the hot sunshine is the place to be when you want to sweat. One of the worlds largest saunas in case you weren't aware.

The rains come and go, mostly go this time of year. When they come, it gets nasty. Yesterday we got everything picked up, today there is another big limb down (without a storm.) Is my patience being tried by higher authority or is it simply the nature of pecan trees to be agrivating? Maybe it's both. Reguardless, I have no plans to cut up a limb when it is 95.2 outside.


Last time I tried to blog this thing, it sat in a loop for 15 minutes. I wonder if this time will be better??

Dog Days of Summer

It's only 94.5 in the shade. The grass is cut, the mower is dead, and I stink. Oh well, life is fun as well as funny. I guess I could take a shower or I could go work on the mower some more. Or I could push the little mower to touch up. The problems I have! I could concern myself with the things of the world I have no control over or I could work on the things I can. I guess I'll dissasemble the generator and replace the bearing.

Which way is the wind blowing???

Mostly from the south with tons of moisture to add to the 90+ temps.....

Oh well, La in the summer.

Water should always be taken with other nutients, like dinner and supper.

Things melt in the heat. Health, Ice Cream, plastics, plastique??

It's amazing that people so soon forget the basics of life. The human body, while capable of surviving extensive changes in temperature and humidity, it is not meant to be exposed to those changes every day. And believe me, the older you get, the more you feel it.

You can beat the heat that is now, but will you beat the heat that is to come??

Hot Hot Hot

No, I don't mean disco (nor would I ever mean disco a' la 70's)

Heat indicies are a fallacy much the dame as chill factor. there is only one dividing line. 60 degrees. below that it goes from cool to cold to ouch above it goes from ok to warm to hot to ouch also. If you get confused with it, stick your hand outside and feel the air. (If it comes back in wet that means it is raining, or as often happend here and in FLA a cloud has crash landed)

This kind of weather is the kind that makes people repeat themselves a lot also. So take care if you needs go to the outdoors. Drink plenty of fluids. (not beer or whiskey or anything else with alcohol as a major ingredient) Most carbonated drinks should be limited as well as who needs any extra gas. I think most nutritionist (not on UF's Payrole) would agree that plain old H2O is the best (though I can't really recommend the water from most city systems that have been "made safe to drink" with the addition of clorine")

In La. today it is HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!
