Heatwave!

AAAGGGHHH!!!!!!!

Yesterday in Trenton, the temperature hit 106! At 11:00 last night it was still 92. When I got up at 6:00 this morning temp was 85, by the time I left for work around 7:30 it was over 90. We're not sure we even want to know what it is now.

One of my co-workers and I decided that whoever invented air conditioning should be elevated to sainthood!

Much the same here, but I think we only hit 102 yesterday. It was 85 here at 6 a.m. today too. And I really don't even want to know what it is right now either.

Then it was panic time here for me - the a.c. went out!!! Called our regular guy and the office said no one was available till tomorrow. Hell - I'd be dead by then! Gave the girl on the phone a sob story about how I was a "senior" with some health issues and I needed to have a.c., and a guy was out in less than an hour. It was a simple fix - just a relay switch burned out in the blower fan motor, probably from a power surge, and it was back up and running in no time.

That was way too close for comfort!!!!

I'm happy to know your a.c. problem turned out to be minor and you're up and running again. And I do understand the health problems with this heat. It tends to make my diabetes go absolutely ballistic! With having to do more frequent testing I don't have any finger tips left.

THINK SNOW!!!!!

Carol, Thank you so very much for your picture of that beautiful snow! I love snow and can't wait for winter to come back!

Hey, that was quick thinking on your part, you didn't really lie though. I guess we're all hit with the same heat wave, since the weekend the temps have been reaching 39 which is not usual around here. The a/c has been running non stop and yes, the person who invented it should be elevated to sainthood. Were we really complaining about the cold just two months ago...our prayers have been answered.

My town had 4 days in a row over 100F. That hasn't ever happened, to my knowledge. It's cooler today, and we got a tiny bit of rain.

Now send it this way, Smoky !

A brief shower just passed over us (southeast Michigan). Temp dropped from 94° to 78° in about 15 minutes. Only problem is - there's too much daylight left, and I fear the temp will climb back up - along with the humidity.

This is supposed to be the beginning of cooler temps for us, though.
