Okay, its 4 degrees this morning, and even Abby was ready to go home after about 15 minutes of walking. Me, I'm ready for a vacation to Key West!
The so called rolling blackouts have been annoying. Power was out for 2 hours twice yesterday, and then from 7;05 in the evening to 1;30am. Then it was down to 57 degrees in the house. The power went off again at 4am, and came back on about 7am. I'm glad we have those neat little LED emergency lights that run for like 24 hours off of a couple of AA batteries. Power back on now, but who knows for how long.
Being the cynic that I am, I question how the power company deals with 100 plus degree weather and the electric demand for AC, but can't deal with demand for electric for heat?????

, having lived in both climates, I find the heat way easier to deal with. It all depends on the humidity. I've had 103 degree days that I was sitting on the back patio, which is shaded, there was a pleasant breeze, and it wasn't really that bad. I was sitting out there because Karen does not like me to smoke in the house, so I was outside. With the fan on me, and a spray bottle of water to mist myself down, it was downright pleasant. I took my time having a slow pipe, reading a book, and relaxing.
There no way this side of any kind of Hades that I will sit out there right now, no matter how bad I want to have a pipe!
Oh how I long for some nice tropical evening, a cold vodka tonic in hand, and a nice Dominican cigar!
