When it's HOT

it's HOT....Mom used to say "oh heavens", and now it is OH MY.....how hot is it? will we break the record highs of the 1936 era?We do not like the heat, so we go inside to a/c. How did my parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles make it thru the 1936 heatwave with NO a/c? We can't imagine life w/o air conditioning. Sounds like we are spoiled, but loving it.
Life in Kirksville over the week end wasn't any cooler than home in Iowa and Texas is also HOT. BUT, Texas always has some nice wind to keep down the humidity and make it comfortable. We need rain in Texas, a long drought.
We buried another Iowa soldier today, the 2nd or 3rd soldier to die this month. I am still wondering when our leaders will get off their dead butts and bring home our troops.
I played golf today with my foursome, this is about year 23 that we have been golfing together. Of course, we picked today out, in late June. But, we played a scramble, that takes less time, spent a lot of time in the shade, drank several gallons of water and were happy when the 4 1/2 hour event was over. We shot 4 under par, we are getting ready for the Nellie Open in October...I think it is 3 months until I hit the road to go back south to those Llano Yahoos.....carry on

PS, don't forget your mail carrier, watch for your delivery and surprise them with a cold drink
