Blessed be the day job

Blessed be the day job that pays for central a/c. Not a typical feature of most homes in New Hampshire, but a lovely thing to have in a three story townhouse with plenty of southern exposure. Even keeping it set at 77 still provides relief from the 90+ outside.

Many folks are lamenting the heat wave and hoping for a series of storms to cool things off. I'm on a different page-- our town is so saturated after the torrential rains two weeks back such that even the smallest of storm clouds prompts the Weather Service to issue flash flood advisories. I'll take the heat if it means things have a chance to dry out.

Taking today off from work, a comp day to make up for the stretch where I worked 12 days in a row as part of the quarter close. Will likely go exploring today, then planning a movie later on and a gelato run, as one does in this weather.

Hopefully the heat isn't getting to you. I wonder, as you've posted this twice.

BTW, hot in the Inland Northwest part of the nation as well. (Glad we have central air.)

Gotta love the autopost features-- sometimes the post disappears and sometimes it appears twice.

Here things are cooling off which is good news, but we're expecting a few violent thunderstorms between now and reasonable weather. Hope you're cooling off as well.

Looks like one of the two posts has went away. Still hot here and expected hot for the next few days. Years ago, while deployed in the Indian Ocean/Persian Gulf, we had RAMBO as one of the shipboard movies. We all wanted so much to get out of the endless heat and into the frigid woods of British Columbia. They looked so cool and inviting. Almost a dream to just be cold for once.
