The talk of the town is the heatwave. People are feeling the heat but they are quick to say it's better than the alternative - old man winter. Yesterday was humid beyond belief. I stepped out of my office and it was like Whoa I've just stepped into an oven. Yesterday evening was beautiful. There was a nice breeze if you were under the shade of a nice tree. It's also a business bonanza for the airconditioning people are there were oodles of call to repair ac units that are being worked to the max. Those of us who do not have ac have to just put up with the heat. Here is a tip to create your own ac unit. Wet your body including your hair and lie or sit in front of a fan. It cools you down quickly. You can also wet a towel and lie on it and let the fan bathe you with a nice cool air. In Sudan and the desert of Africa I hear people would wet the sand and lie on it to sleep. These do not leave a bad footprint on our enviroment and they are quite nifty. Take a walk to the Forks and have a snooze under one of those trees by the river. Check out the Forks Railway car where people like Susan (in the picture) are glad to welcome and show you around. That's pretty cool too.
Have a hot one.
