I haven't run my A/C in almost 48 hours, and it's a pleasant 68 degrees in my house. Almost unfathomable for August...

Surely am glad to hear of your good fortune with regard to saving on your electricity bill and also wiping out the drought of recent years.

Here in Central Florida we are still having our usual 90 degree days, but never over 100, and experiencing the thrill of having our seatbelt buckles also serve as branding irons.

Regardless of the temperature....please stop raining. We have algae on the mushrooms here. Literally has not rained for more than a two day period for months.

Weather varies. Temps go up and down. There is no “normal” temperature. There is no “should be” temperature. Watching the weather forecast would be much more fun if weatherpeople would just get that into their heads.

Temp may have touched 68 at my house today in Marietta, GA, which is a NW suburb of Atlanta, but it was basically 67 for nearly all the afternoon. Unbelievable for a mid-August day in Georgia.

“We have algae on the mushrooms here.”

Rainy season is coming up here soon. I’ll have to look out for that. We get algae on the house, and mushrooms spring up in the yard — but, I haven’t noticed algae on the mushrooms yet.

Coming soon to a theatre near you:

Global Rainfall

After the republicans have overheated the planet and generated record rains worldwide, where are you going to go to dry out. Women and children are drowning every second of the day because of republicans. The war on dry is out of control. Enter a new man for the 21st century. Obama Dryer. Give us all your money and we will end the ruinous rein of republicans.

Help us Obama Dryer...

All you need is a speech from AlGore on globull warming.
You'll be okay.
