Day Two, Heat Wave...
As the Calgary Stampede gears up for yet another year, the city is being pounded by a heat wave. It was almost 28 degrees here yesterday!!
Which may not seem like much to you tropical sorts in B.C., but up in our second storey, it feels like the raging hellfires of Hades, on a long weekend in the summer. It feels like a meat shop with no air conditioning.
It feels like I've got a wet dog living in my armpits...
So, how will we make it through the next few weeks, if these temperatures continue, and exceed 30 degrees, as predicted??
Just a few thoughts:
* I will remove the stuffing from my sofa, and replace it with ice.
* I will find a way to convert my long underwear into a cryonic suit of some sort - not enough to preserve me for all time, but just enough to keep my Elmos comfortable...
* I will research the cooling benefits of slathering myself in catsup.
* I will ponder on whether Icy Hot stays icy, or hot longer.
* I will research the cooling benefits of keeping cold cans of cola in my pants' pockets...
* I will suspend helping "bring sexy back", until I smell less like a wet yak.
* I will think cool, cool thoughts. I will channel my inner Fonzie.
* Who am I kidding? I'm going to sweat my ass off until we can get central air conditioning
installed...
Chow for now!!!

Heat wave...yes, we are experiencing this here as well. Hard to do much of anything when the forcast is 31 today and a possible 38 tomorrow! But I'm not complaining...I will take a few days of this over the bitter cold of winter anyday! Try sipping some cold beveragios in a nice cold tub...or perhaps buy a couple of kiddy pools for your deck...
31??
I may as well put a lawn chair in the refrigerator if that hits here...
However, as you say, sure beats the frosty "edge" of a Canadian winter...
