dumb heat

Global warming plusses:
Way less fog than in my youth.

Global warming minuses:
Way more 90+ degree days than in my youth.

Fortunately, fans are the only thing mom had more of than combination television/vcr/dvd players.

Two ceiling fans in the bedroom, one over the dining room table, a giant oscillating floor fan with a remote control that looks like a robot from Dr. Who, a couple of big box fans and a sizable collection of antique murder fans representing past generations, sharp, thick steel blades with skimpy wire guards you could stuff a large cat through.

I hauled the Robot upstairs from the garage, put it to work and the place was entirely livable by about 3am.

I like exactly one thing about extreme temperatures, early evening with the sun gone down and everything releasing pent up heat in waves, gin and tonic weather.

Yes, it's nice to have that rare evening when we can sit or eat outside comfortably. Or drink our gin and tonics outside comfortably.
