the heat: coping
July 25, 2006Up till now it’s been pretty much business as usual around here, getting the day job done, keeping the yard irrigated, which takes twice as long as usual, and of course, not sleeping at night. Is this day 10? Can anyone count anymore?
Today my brain shut down. Around 10:30, when the sun beats down on a flat-roofed house, before lunch, before I noted that the tomato plants were all droopy again, and right about when the laptop started glowing.
Some are working in bikinis. My neighbor in back believes that the louder the music, the cooler she feels. I wonder if she’s heard any Slayer recently.
Some stayed at hotels over the weekend. Frankly I think the military should issue those cooling vests for all of us.
