'...Days and days and days of over 100 degrees coalesce into redundancy, ...'

20 consecutive now. All time record is 69 (greatest annual), 42 consecutive, both set in 1980.

Poem Artwork

!! It's the Heat Wave That Won't Go Away !!,
this Endless Summer sent by the devil himself:
pitchforked in the middle of a ridge Hell-bent
on misery. I melt under a brutal sun and no
wind. Days and days and days of over 100
degrees coalesce into redundancy, vying to
break the record set in '80: nearly half-way
there, and the season not over yet. No relief
in sight. Meet the walking dead, brains
zombied by sultriness and the lack of rain ....

Karla, for you and the other folks that live in Texas the summer heat has been trying -- and rain a mirage without much promise -- when the heat abates and the rains fall I know Texans will sigh with relief -- I bid you peace, joy and love my dear friend -- Jon Michael

It's hard to comprehend such an onslaught, Karla. Make sure to keep your water intake high and to exert as little energy as possible. Hopefully nighttime brings some relief. Wishing you a place of shade and refreshing breezes... xx

When you live on the shore, Karla, within the sound of
the surf, the gulls, and the ocean breeze, Endless Summer
is what we live for. Come out and enjoy...

Right on sister Karla. Yesterday was so blistering hot I couldn't even go outdoors. We had a heat advisory that said to stay inside and drink plenty of liquids. Yet there were fools out there skateboarding and just having a good time. Today it is supposed to be only 80 degrees but no heat warning. Thank you for sharing this.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whomyou love, and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

WOW! You are telling it just like it is! You're having higher temps than we are here, but not by much. Texas is Texas after all. Your wording is just wonderful, the last two sentences are totally awesome, Karla.
