It’s Too Darn Hot!
And I was just telling my mom I kinda wanted to dig a cool hole in the ground and sit under the bench, like their dog Annie does:
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MEMPHIS TN HAS ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY. TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100 DEGREES WILL COMBINE WITH DEW POINTS AROUND 70 THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS EASTERN ARKANSAS…MISSOURI BOOTHEEL…EXTREME WEST TENNESSEE AND PORTIONS OF NORTH MISSISSIPPI TO PRODUCE HEAT INDICES FROM 103 TO 107 IN MANY LOCATIONS. A HEAT ADVISORY IS ISSUED WHEN HIGH HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED TO COMBINE WITH HOT TEMPERATURES TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE IT IS 105 DEGREES OR GREATER. PERSONS IN THE ADVISORY AREA ARE ADVISED TO AVOID PROLONGED WORK IN SUN, OR IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS. ALSO, KEEP PLENTY OF LIQUIDS ON HAND AND TRY TO STAY IN AN AIR CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENT. CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY AND PEOPLE WITH CRONIC AILMENTS ARE USUALLY THE FIRST TO SUFFER FROM THE HEAT. HEAT EXHAUSTION, CRAMPS, OR IN EXTREME CASES HEAT STROKE CAN RESULT FROM PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THESE CONDITIONS. FRIENDS, RELATIVES, OR NEIGHBORS SHOULD CHECK ON PEOPLE WHO MAY BE AT RISK.
I’m wilting. I’m wilting. Oh, what a world. What a world!
The upside is that my little weather pixie is totally stylin’ in her teeny bikini!

Phew!! That is miserable stuff. Italy, Memphis, …Italy, Memphis…. Doesn’t sound like either place is much fun in the sun. Can there be any place worse than those? Head for the coast. Doesn’t matter which one. Most areas of them are really nice. When the wind isn’t unruly.
