105 degrees yesterday. The lows no better, low 80s. Maybe...just MAYBE...some relief by the weekend.
Draw a last breath of refridgerated air into the sacs of lungs that once held life. Drink a last bit of liquid refreshment and let it seep slowly through your stubborn pride. Go outside for just a second and watch yourself sweat away to nothing ... zapped by heat.

Wheww...Karla...I guess!
Even here in Wisconsin, I get zapped, but...what is worse...when
I step outside, I see hundreds of my garden flowers zapped as well.
Seems if they are to stay alive, I have to endure some outdoor heat
with hose in hand!
That about says it all Karla;-) 110 here yesterday same forecast for today. I thank God for the electricity that keeps my AC and fridge working. Can't imagine how they managed without it in past years.
