OK. Enough is enough.  The weather forecast is hot, humid, and no rain.  This has gone on for months. Yesterday 101. Today 102. Nothing below the high nineties for the last 4 or 5 weeks.  All the grass is brown.  Towns around here have put in mandatory water restrictions, and the crops are failing. Got some sweet corn the other day and it was $.40 an ear and the kernels were not filled in and very shallow.  Tasted like cardboard. Oh well butter and salt helped.

The lake is dropping like a stone.  They are even talking about lake II again.  That has only been on the drawing board since the 50's.  I remember the drought of the 50's when the lake dropped so low that there was one spot where you could walk from one side to the other.  The lake had divided into two ponds. There were lots of dead trees on the bottom that had not rotted from when the blasted them to build the lake in the '30s.

Oh well all things pass.  Climate is what you expect and weather is what you get.

We have been staying in and moving from one A/C to another.  Can't wait for the power bill.

Well the heat wave finally broke.  The heat has just been brutal.  Saturday 104 and we saw the temp in the car at 122. Now I don't believe the 122 number but it was just awful. Step out of the AC and the sweat just popped out and you dripped. I remember my Grandmother telling me of a summer in the 1930's where they just went outside and slept in the grass.  I believe her.  If the AC went out we would have been in real misery. I feel sorry for the folks on the east coast with the power out. 
It has been too too too hot to do anything.  We have been going out as little as possible.  I go to the gym MWF but go early and take it easy.  Just not much fun.
Now the heat is much less, say 15 degrees, and we will try to have more outside fun.  The summer seems to be flying by.  Every day there is something to do.  I wonder how I got anything done when I had to go to work.
I am going to try to go to the range this week.  I'll let you know how I did.

OK. Another really hot hot hot day with really silly humidity raitings.  They keep saying that it will rain but the drought is in full force.  I am beginning to consider bringing back the "let's save water and shower together" ideas from the 60's.  Too hot to go to the range. Too hot to do anything but sweat.  I am going to get up tomorrow and try to do something before the temperature goes over 85.  The forecast is just 95 to 100 as far as the eye can see.  Sometimes there is rain in the forecast but whatever area it is raining in it isn't my area. Can't wait to see the water bill to keep the garden going.
More when the muse attacks me.
