It Is Not Even Summer & I Am Already HOT


We are still about a month out from the arrival of the 2024 version of Summer.

I saw that which you see above, on Facebook, this morning, accurately expressing my current sentiment.

This HOT time of the year is the earliest I remember losing cold water. Rendering there being no such thing as a refreshing cold shower. The former cold water is now warmer than lukewarm.

The cold water is already overheated and we have yet to go over 100 degrees. What happens to the formerly cold water when we have a couple dozen days in a row over 100?

I suspect I shall soon find out.

The new heat pump system so far is managing to keep my interior space a pleasantly cool temperature.

We are being told the Texas grid is stronger now than when it totally collapsed a couple Winters ago, with the outer world below zero. I had to escape to one of the few motels that still had power. 

If the Texas grid collapses this Summer my escape plan is to head north, to Oklahoma, and hope to find a room available at one of the casino hotels.

And if that fails, continue heading north, all the way to Washington if need be....
