Hot days in June

Today is hot. And it is hot again here in the office. The air conditioning is not operating this afternoon, as it didn't yesterday. I came to work in a short sleeve shirt, because I knew this would happen.

The hvac dude (official title) has been here and gone. I don't know the resolution, but I do know that it is still hot. Unfortunately, I don't have much pull in trying to get this type of repair completed. My only hope is that Alan will decide that the hvac has to be on otherwise he will expire.

Of course, it is also supposed to cool down this week. I am counting on that as well. I would love a little rain. Perhaps, a lot of rain. Perhaps not the type they have been receiving in the upper Midwest. But a good soaker would be nice. Unfortunately, that Bermuda high is sitting out in the Atlantic, holding off the cold front and pushing it north of here. A nice low pressure system pulling moist air from the Gulf of Mexico, combined with a cooling front from up in Missouri and points north would be nice.

Actually, a good, tropical storm from the panhandle would be perfect, as long as it didn't do too much damage in the Redneck Riviera. Got to keep those oysters safe on the bottom of the Apalachicola Bay. And the shrimp bodies out in the gulf.

Boy, it doesn't take much to get me thinking about seafood.

Kate gets to see Carolyn tonight. That will be good. She needs some friends with which to commiserate. We all do.

I need to keep a note pad with me at all times. I think I got one of the poems running through my head last night. But lost the other one.
