Heat is Exhausting

The recent spate of days with temperatures over 90 degrees has worn out this senior.

This trend began back in April, with a record-breaking hot day. State Climatologist David Robinson detailed the unusual heat in April and May in his report on Spring 2010 weather. I can't wait to hear what he will report for June.

Up until recently, July was the month where stretches of 90 degree weather prompted health warnings and setting up of "cooling centers." It is definitely a challenge to carry out daily activities on extremely hot, humid days without air conditioning.

As I write, it is still about 84 degrees in the room, but down to 70 degrees with cool breezes on the former sleeping porch that was enclosed sometime after the 1976 revaluation. Thank heavens for the porch!
