OMG… Sweet Mother Of Mary Poppins! The heat out there was just unbearable today. We’re talking about the actual temperature being close to 100 with a humidity index of 110. Walking out the door from work this afternoon felt like opening the oven and throwing your head into it! I managed to barely make it to my vehicle without collapsing from heat exhaustion only to open the car door and discover it was a bazillion degrees inside. I start the engine, crank the air-conditioner, and grab the leather-clad steering wheel and proceed to have the stitching branded into my palms!
Ten minutes later, I’m driving down the road and I can almost feel a little bit of cool air coming out of the vents. I suppose it made little difference at that point because my whole backside was sopping, sweaty, wet! Strange the amount of liquid one’s body can produce when you sit it down on a leather seat the approximate temperature of a George Foreman Grill.
I thought I was escaping this extreme heat thing when I left Arizona… wtf?
Today, July 26th, Ann Arbor, Michigan,

Ah. Mike, you still don’t get it.
Maxium snow for Ann Arbor, Michigan = 24 inches.
Maxium snow for Frederick, Maryland = 48 inches.
Lowest recorded temp.for A2, Michigan = 8 below.
Lowest recorded temp.for Frederick, MD. = 14 below.
It’s the price you pay for living between the mountains and the ‘Sho.
Ha!Ha!Ha!
Ahhh… Snow, it seems like it has been soo long. To wake up and peek out to see the scenery blanketed in beauty… The snowflakes falling gently all day long providing a visual paradise.
Then I have to plow it!
Ouch Stephanie, is that kind of weather par for the course in Florida? I’ve been there a couple of times, but mostly when I was very young. Hopefully you are close to the ocean?
You suck Phyllis!!
What about all that “Lake Effect” snow they always talk about on the Weather Channel? HUH?
Lake effect snow = Buffalo, New York.
Weather patterns move from the west to the east. I’m too far east of Lake Michigan to be affected.
Ahh … Snow, it seems like it’s been so long. To wake up and peek out and see the scenery blanketed in beauty … The snowflakes falling gently all day long providing a visual paradise.
Then the snow shoveling company shovels the snow, while I watch them, from my arm chair by the fireplace!
Oops! There I go … sucking again!
🙂
Thanks for correcting my mis-spelling!
Yeah… Well… Phyllis….
How about this scenerio; The snow shoveling company shovels the snow but forgets to lay the rock salt down over the ice on your front porch. You’re sitting in the armchair by your fireplace and suddenly remember that you forgot to take your morning dose of Glucosimine Chondroiten for brittle bones. So you move to the medicine cabinet, add a dose of Metamucil, Stool Softener, Geritol & secure your Poise Undergarments in place. After double checking the winning Bingo numbers from the previous night, you head out to CVS to obtain your weekly supply of Prune Juice and Raisins only to slip on the ice and displace your hip. As you lie there yelling…”Help, I can’t get up” into your medical alert necklace, you inwardly wonder why you didn’t just stay put in Frederick where Anthony never forgot to put the salt down!
You see, Mikie, this is the basic difference between you and me. I would never resort to a personal attack. I would never take advantage of the well know fact that you attract the same sex, and I would certainly never create a scenario using that well know fact as the topic.
I would not persume to suggest that you and your “boy toy”, Chaz, who checks you out every morning at Starbucks, become more then just passing aquaintances when Chaz gives you an extra large cup of coffe at the regular cup price and the resulting “man hug” of gratitude turns into a “moment”.
You and Chaz set up housekeeping, and find yourselves deep in a very meaningful relationship. The new found joy you both feel is dashed when one snowy winter day, when as Chaz is creating a new window treatment for your living room, he finds that he has no mushroom and mauve fabric! He sends you out to to purchase 20 yards of mushroom and mauve coloured fabric at The House of Chintz in Rockville.
Sadly, on the way down the mountain your car slides off the road and ends up in a 20 feet snow bank. Though Chaz searches with the verosity of OJ looking for Nicloe’s killer, he never finds you until the spring thaw (which comes in July) and then, of course, it is too late.
Lost in grief, Chaz quits his job at Starbucks and moves to a condo on the beach in Boca Ratton where he consoles himself with quiche and champaign brought to him by Bruce, the cabana boy.
Cackle, cackle, cackle!
Thank you for making me Hurl on my keyboard Phyllis!
Now that was a low blow!! Here I am innocently razzing you about old age creeping up & you have to go and play on my homophobic fears!! FOR THE RECORD…. I’m totally straight!
btw…. how did you find out about him giving me a Venti for the price of a Tall?
I reiterate …..
cackle, cackle, cackle!
