We’re in the middle of a heat wave right now. Yesterday, the temps broke all records. It sucks to see the yard roasting away after having spent mucho dinero on it. We can’t even watch television. And I need to shear the cat’s coat at some point. This is crazy but the only thing crazier is hearing how New York has had no power in a week with this kind of heat. That makes me feel just a bit more appreciative of the aging lines we have conducting power erratically into our neighborhood. Yes, I’ll take the power surges and flickering lights anytime over no power for a week in the middle of the worst heat wave we’ve ever experienced in July.

Gee I’m just so tickled how my $500 a month utility bill makes sure I only have to wait 2 hours each time for service to be restored. And service interruption only occurs between the hottest hours of 4 pm to 9 pm three times in a day. Yes we are so lucky indeed.
