A Praying Mantis rousted by the garden hose.One of the books I just took out at the Plainfield Public Library was Graham Greene's "A Burnt-Out Case." Appropriately for the current heat wave, the author vividly describes the climate in which the protagonist finds himself: "Even at night the air was so humid that it broke upon the cheek like tiny beads of rain."
Saturday's prediction is for temperatures in the high 90s that will feel like 103 degrees or so. Once again, we must take heed of the health warnings about extreme heat's effects on the body (and, I will add, on the mind). I plan to be resting with a good book in the afternoon as we endure this prolonged spell of hot weather.
