August Sucks

The exhibition celebrates the history of an old candle making factory which was based on Bankside more than 100 years ago  

It is August 4 and the day will be roasting hot by noon. 

Just when the inside feels like I could bake cookies on the counter, a magical thing happens.

Our local energy company SDG&E employs the FLEX energy plan to keep the electrical grids from over-loading.  That means they can turn my A/C off.  Off!! with the fan still running.

Off, with the interior thermometer rising slowly up the scale.  82º?  That is nothing.  86º, and it keeps rising.  I stop looking.

Outside?  Thermometer past 95 and still going...

The A/C returned.  God bless it.

Truth is: Summer makes me cranky.  Life sucks.  Leave me alone.

This is a re-post from 2014 or 2013.  It doesn't matter; hot one year or the other doesn't matter.
