Today was an overcast day with kind of a foggy morning... The heat was off visiting other parts of the country, so that was somewhat of a relief.....
Loyce was gone to the younger son's house for much of the day while she was involved with the grand kids.... I kind of hung back around home with Biscuit.... She really has separation anxiety when Loyce goes anywhere without her.... She was up in my lap whining and crying that her mommy left her behind...
By about noon, I received the phone call that I needed to go to the Doctor's office and leave off some of those testable bodily fluids in preparation for the official visit that I have scheduled for Thursday... One of the main reasons that we had to come back here to Kansas...
But then tonight I was talking to the security folks out in Arizona as they were doing the walk around of our house, and they indicated the it was 117 this afternoon...........Yeow!!
I'm fairly certain that it is a good thing that we didn't stay any longer in Arizona than we needed to... 117, that's crazy... Linda the security lady, said the TV people were talking about cooking eggs on the blacktop again, because of the heat....
But in contrast, yesterday when I was out on the scooter early in the morning, it was 81 here.... And I was riding along at about 50 miles an hour and it seemed cool, or almost cold as the air came thru my ventilated cycle jacket... So I guess you do get used to the extreme heat.... I know my Canadian friends begin to complain when it gets into the 80s, that it is sooo hot and humid.. It was about 95 when I came back from the ride, and it was finally beginning to be a little warm for the endeavor...
And lastly, I'm not sure I should report on this least I might invite the virus to return, but it seems to be gone from this Window's computer for now..... Maybe AVG will get it into their security package... And judging by the questions from Microsoft on IE, Live Essentials will have it very soon as well.....
Have a good day today, as I will be off on the scooter for another Tuesday luncheon, by the time you are reading this...

We are having gorgeous weather here too. I can't wait to get to the Lake and sleep in 60-70 degree nights with no A/c and the breeze blowing through the fiver bedroom. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna.
ReplyDeleteIt's getting warm here during the days - into the 90's but the nights are almost cold (at least for me)which sure does make good sleeping. Saw another haboob went through the other day. It's been a lousy summer down that way this year. I still have my fingers crossed that it will be better in a month when we get there. (yea sure!) Have fun on your ride today.
ReplyDeleteAt a 117 degrees you may as well be living in an oven! Have a great scooter ride and lunch with your group today. Glad to hear that virus seems to be under control.
ReplyDelete117 degrees isn't anything new. My brother & his wife lived in Tempe when he was getting a Master's degree, and 117F days happened every summer. I can't figure out why anyone would live there year around, but the rest of the country was pretty hot this summer, so maybe those highs are in store for other regions.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that my brother was in Tempe in the early 1970's.
