Yes, It's Hot Enough For Me
by Steve West on April 5, 2012
Recent conversation with Brenda:
Brenda: The weather's been getting a lot warmer lately.
me: I believe I noticed.
Brenda: I'm worried that our air conditioner is too old and won't be good enough this summer.
me: It'll probably last one more summer.
Brenda: I'm afraid the girls will get heat stroke.
me: I'll get heat stroke before they will. Consider my collapse an early warning system. Buy a new air conditioner with the insurance money.
Brenda: What makes you think the air conditioner is good enough?
me: I really don't know but we can test it. I'll invite Scott and Kelly up this summer. If they come in the house and feel like they're at home and then go outside and comment how chilly they are - I'll spring for a new air conditioner.
Brenda: Sounds good but don't get heat stroke.
me: Heat strokes aren't all that bad. I'll have the best tan in hell and it's all the fun of a real stroke without that left side paralysis thing.

Christmas Post #8: Political Pun Waiting To Happen
Very obvious Hillary pun that still amused me. Hillary nutcracker in action. Check out this site for a lot of clever gifts although you'll have to wade through a lot of truly idiotic stuff as well. Go »Just My Lucky Day, I Guess
Weekly shopping trips have been largely uneventful of late because of the absence of you know who, UOAS. She kind of startled me with her presence at the Safeway tonight and I wondered if God specifically was observing my sense of satisfaction over her MIA status. She noted my surprised expression and commented, "Long time no see!" Go »Sages And Fools
UOAS has been wonderfully absent from the grocery for the last month. Paradise only lasts so long, however. UOAS: (Eyeing the 3 lbs of sirloins on sweet sale) That's a lot of steaks, having a barbecue? Go »49 Out of 50 is Pretty Compelling
Forty-nine out of fifty states currently have snow on the ground from recent snowfalls. Guess which state is the only one without snow. That's right, Brenda. Go »Redneck ROFL
I've been to this site a few dozen times without considering linking to it. But a picture they posted really cracked me up because it, once again, reminded me of my Carolina cousins, rednecks all. Anyway the picture I'm referring to is called redneck Barbies and they remind me of a favorite pair of cousins of mine, Rodney and Looler. Go »

Works for us. Our own central air conditioner is pretty weak: On a recent day, it was 94 outside, 82 inside. Can you get heat stroke while sitting inside in the shade? I have a window unit and Kelly's about to get a portable unit, so we'll survive, but it's definitely summer here already -- indoors.
