It’s gettin’ hot in herrr

It’s currently 88 degrees, and with the heat index it’s around 150. Okay, not that hot but it might as well be. Walking outside is like stepping into a microwave on high cooking a Hot Pocket. It’s the kind of heat that within two minutes your underwear is damp. 10 minutes they’re soaked. After 20 […]

Summer Heat, July 4th, Thinking The Things

We’re officially in July. Halfway point of the year 2025, which seems crazy as my brain is still somewhere back at the end of March or early April.
