Which reminds me of my favorite summer occurance, the visitor that always mentions how "green" we are since all they see are electric cars. Sometimes I just have the heart to tell them they're not electric but the heating plugs to keep the car from freezing at -30 to -60.
There is a crossing-guard that works a few blocks from me. She is well-known for doing silly dances as she helps the kids cross the street. She recently appeared in a low-budget music video for a local band and is now fired because she wore her "uniform" in the video (a VEST!). Yet our mayor smokes crack on video all the time with no repercussions. I really hate Toronto politics sometimes...
This thread (keeping cool in hot weather) made me remember a "joke" Howard Stern was fond of YEARS ago. Every summer Robin would do the news and report the deaths/hospitalization/sickness (and just general complaining in interviews) of people due to excessive Summer heat.
Howard's response was always "why didn't they just go get in their pool?"
...it was A super cunty elitist joke that always made me laugh. Yeah...Howards an ass.
Yeah someone just told me we're all bringing wine glasses to work tomorrow to sip water and pretend. I cannot be held responsible if my friend Char Dinnay stops by my cube
Who knows just to celebrate Friday or something but I'm sure some suit will tell us it doesn't look professional and get rid of them blah blah.... Just keepin the man down!
Most of us don't have air conditioners up on the PNW. My poor little dog is not happy right now. My Chow-bear could handle the heat, but my little rescue poodle mix can't, and he lets me know it by jumping in my lap and obnoxiously panting in my face. Even the Chillow isn't doing it for him.
Air condition-what?? Only the hotels have that in Alaska, why I have no idea since all the visitors are buried in down jackets when it's 60 out.

DeleteCleo! I finally finished A Cold Day for Murder!
DeleteIce cold beer
ReplyDeleteTotes! It's way too hot for May!!
ReplyDeleteDude, I'm sitting here in 98 degree temps, watching my hometowns burn, and people are like "what's the big deal. "
DeleteI'm like "imagine those fires here, but with millions more people, structures, and no lake to use. "
All my loved ones are down there.
San Diego has it bad, I'm glad the winds have died down a little.
DeleteIt's hot in the desert but still nice or maybe I've lived here too long.
GAWWWD I miss LA! NYC is soooo cold rainy, and dreary which eerily coincides with the September 11th memorial museum opening today.
ReplyDeleteNormally I would agree, but I'll feel better when the fires stop and thousands of people can safely return to their homes. Hang in there, SD

ReplyDeleteThey don't call it "Angel Breath" for nothing!
ReplyDeleteI'll go one better: air conditioner + cocktail.
ReplyDelete+1. Toss in Nora's swimming pool and you need nothing else.
DeleteForget A/C. ....jumping into the ocean or swimming pool is most refreshing.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when a monster thunderstorm knocks out the electricity in a large portion of the state during nighttime.

Lol
Oooo, nora is right. Ocean or pool very close first with a/c. Im going to fla in july, that shld be nice and cool--NOT!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI gotta be in Nashville at the end of July. Sooooooo not looking forward to it.
DeleteI'm going to not mention my cool Canadian weather, and just send all the positive vibes and energy oot to those affected by the fires. Brutal
ReplyDeleteOr a walk in freezer at -10 F when you've been standing in front of a 500F oven
ReplyDeleteFeel better now, GatorGirl?
ReplyDeleteI'm with sandy. Cold beer..
ReplyDeleteNudity, aircon, kiddy pool or sprinkler, cold beer and ice.
ReplyDeleteYeah someone just told me we're all bringing wine glasses to work tomorrow to sip water and pretend. I cannot be held responsible if my friend Char Dinnay stops by my cube
ReplyDeleteUm, why would they do that, GG? Is that what they like to do for kicks? I would be the BWB with a grape juice drip
ReplyDeleteTru dat, on the A/C. Nothing better than walking in from hot and humid to feel cool and crisp.
ReplyDeleteWho knows just to celebrate Friday or something but I'm sure some suit will tell us it doesn't look professional and get rid of them blah blah.... Just keepin the man down!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone here live in San Diego? Thoughts with you. Scary stuff.
ReplyDeleteDamn The Man!
