Great Info Tips

Once again the northeast U.S. is in a heat wave. Saturday and Sunday seemed to be the worst. While there has been a breeze, it’s been a very warm one. Mother Nature seems to think we need to be on the hotplate a little longer, extending the heat wave a few more days and denying us the rain we need to keep the crops growing and the cooler air heading in our direction.

During a Phillies game broadcast on Thursday afternoon it was like watching a sheet of water hit the stadium. They play their baseball games about 50 miles from here. We didn’t get a drop of rain. They did have a lot of people without electricity with downed trees and poles, so maybe we can consider ourselves lucky here, but we really do need to be able to stay cooler.

I am not a summer person. The heat and humidity take their toll on me. My body reacts in different ways, ranging from sweating to feeling like I’ve been hit by a Mack truck. Yet I know once winter comes I will say that I long for summer. Can’t change me on that one!

Summer has just begun. Longer days, shorter nights, heat, humidity, and feeling miserable. I am ready for winter!
