I Got...

EATHER WOES

OH it's hot and steamy.  I keep doing the little online calculator to see just how hot it really is.  Why doesn't some nerd make one we can hang on the porch?...one that measures the temp and humidity and gives us the REAL FEEL DEAL...

If it's 91 and it's 89% humidity then it's freakin' 106.1

I went out only to water my garden pots, fill up the seed feeders and bird baths, and I was drenched with sweat so much so I had to shower once back inside to stop the flow running down my  back....I seem to start sweating at the top and it's like a drip fountain trickling down top to bottom. 

I thought of packing up some things and head to a lake in the woods, take a dip but honestly even that was not appealing to me...all I could think of was that sweat run getting going again..

My sis shared a silly story....yesterday she was about to make breakfast, and the power went off.  So she got out her old camp stove and cooked up her egg muffin. When she put her dish in the sink she remembered her kitchen stove is Gas and has been gas in the 9 yrs she has lived in her current home...LOL And I thought I was bad when I typed this long very in depth email to my other sis telling her about my day and yada yada in reply to one she sent me, and never hit the send button.  She inquired, did you see my email from the other day?  

Slippage

So I have two AC units currently on to keep me cool.  AND 2 FANS to move the air around....I don't like summer weather I feel trapped...AND in checking other possibilities where can one go to escape the heat right now?  Even the RV'rs who travel to get out of it are staying in Mobile home parks with electric hook ups so they can have AC so just stay home and use your AC that makes no sense to me.  

If I go west where the sisters live ITS hot there you have to be above 8,000 ft to escape it and they are at 5,400 ft. There is smoke, and several forest fires and roads closed due to landslides, so that is not appealing...I'd be a third wheel as they have settled into a duo routine.  If I go north to Michigan, where  I have cousins etc, that would be okay visit and then keep moving but gas is very high currently Id run out of money very quickly.  IF the Canadian border was open I'd go there.   GO as far north as the road would carry me.  Town called EDZO. The high there today is going to be 41 F  --With the exchange rate gas is affordable in Canada.  It is a First Nations town and the name is actually Behchok0̨́ The population is under 3,000.  

The main highway is the Yellowknife highway but in winter there is 3 ice highways...NO thanks on that during this time of global warming I don't trust  ice...currently they have 19.5 hrs of daylight...hello.

Holy Black Out Curtains...I recall when my sis and I went to Alaska....we found it very hard to stop moving...at midnight it's still light enough to walk around outside...and be eaten by giant mosquitoes.   

Just about the time you fall asleep say at 2 or 3 am, the sun comes up at 4:30 am...I did love Alaska tho, the people there not so much.  They all seemed creepy.  Sorry for all you Alaskans, but the truth is we met very few Alaskans, mostly these were lower 48 transplants we met.  And it seems its the disgruntled people haters who move to Alaska to be "Frontiersmen" or some bullshit.  Really?

Okay this makes me want to pull out my Alaska photos and scan them in.

sis on the left me on the right...August ! And  in Alaska BRIGHT SUN!
