I walked for at least three miles every business day after work in the heat of Louisiana summer. I still had bypass surgery that kept me from dying (at that time at least).

Last time I was in Louisiana was in my youth, 1964. I thought New Orleans was hot at night in the French Quarter but not nearly as miserable as Fort Walton Beach - Shalimar, Florida. Then, 30 some years later, I discovered Florida was beat out by Washington D.C. in August.

No wonder there was a Revolutionary War there about 230 years ago. The heat there would make anyone so miserable that the most conservative person would be driven to revolt.

I found Boston unbearable in summer; I think that the East Coast lowland area can be miserable. Atlanta used to be tolerable until August, but now it is miserable in earlier summer. I hate the weather where I live.

Come live in Wisconsin, it never gets that hot or humid, however there is a small down side. 6 months of winter and two of those have temp's below zero.

St Louis is also a wonderful place to be in Aug.

Now if only my medieval neurons could fathom how to place a quote at the bottom of each of my posts. I went to User CP, clicked on Signature, typed in what I wanted and saved it. Unfortunately, nothing appeared.

I could swear that wasn't there before. Ok, somebody shoot me.

It seemed to work ok for me, maybe its a MAC thing.

I figured it out with aid from River and Paolo, you know, those two kids

Frack. The weatherman was wrong about cooler days. Today is 103º F.

There are hotter places in the world than where I live in Palo Alto, but I had to shut down my computer out in the studio because it is too hot to run the the thing. It has good thermal protection but who want to take a chance when it is easier to sit in the shade and take it easy

The nursing home just called me. This is the fourth call they have made to me in one week's time. Each call involved making a room change on mom. It seems mom has a new problem.

Monday they called to tell me mom had pulled out the feeding tube again. That was no surprise. But it seems mom is doing something different. After she pulls out her feeding tube, she gets out bed, goes to the patient next to her and pulls out their feeding tube as well.

I honestly don't know what to think about that.
