We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave...

So it is hot outside....it is July, what did you expect. The year I moved into my house, it was 110 f on the second week of July...and the AC failed. That's why I remember it so well. I go back and look at the weather journal I kept and wonder why today is complained about at 99 f ? Grab a sweater, this ain't hot. When did everyone become such a bunch of pansies? Before central heat and air people adapted or endured. My mother was pregnant with me in August (she says it was her 12th or 13th month) in New Jersey, in an attic apartment, with no air-conditioning. Upper 90's with ninety percent humidity, that was one tough momma. Now, it starts to rain and people grab life jackets, it gets a little warm and they are screaming "global warming". What a bunch of Drama Queens, no one knows how to cope any more. How has the human race survived ? We have had refrigeration in our homes for how long? Honestly people, get a grip. Where I live we had ice and frost until the last week of April and people were moaning about how spring would never come.
How on earth do the people of the tundra or the deserts survive? Well, they don't just stand around wringing their hands, that's for sure. Go do something, even if it is just sitting on your porch with an iced tea waving at the neighbors. You remember neighbors, right ? Those people you used to talk to before face book, yup them's the ones. I'll just keep putting one foot in front of the other until I can't pick-em up any more. Then I'm gettin' me some wheels and I'm targeting some toes,"Oops, didn't see you there. That looks painful". People need to toughen up a little. Now that it is cooler outside, I need to take my precious pup for a walk. What a wimp, "IT'S ONLY 99 DEGREES, DON'T MAKE ME DRAG YOU !!!" Peace and love to you all...
