Heat advisory

The city has a new system that calls the elderly and
infirmed to make sure they are okay. They should have
installed one that calls their friends and family to
let people know they are okay. I guess if you are okay
you're supposed to call them yourself.
But what about those inconsiderate and lazy people, like me?

Yesterday was 104 (without heat index). The mud-room felt like an oven. The outside air was moisture sucking dry. Plants were wilted by 11am. Yesterday was a day the 8 fans could not save us. Fortunately R has been sick for a month. Aside from
the worry that his swollen lymph nodes were carrying the plague (as his co-workers put it) it did turn out to be a blessing.
He has developed VERY bad allergies. This summer hasn't been kind with the dozen or so days we have had environmental and ozone warnings. I can't imagine what people in California and Detroit deal with.
His Dr. said an AC unit might help. We installed it just in time if you ask me.

Just so you know...we are *alive and will hide in the house till the city decides to change it's idea of summer...I think here, they call that winter.

*My plants on the other hand, we will have to wait and see.
