Went upstairs a while ago to find Warren napping on the floor. I don't think I've ever seen either one of the cats do this unless they happen to be under the bed. Clearly the heat has addled his brain.

And, yes, it's hot. The Weather Service says that it's only 102 outside, but my thermometers beg to differ.

These photos are about 30 minutes old and the one on the left peaked at 109 a few minutes ago.That's just way too hot to be acceptable.

Last night I had a frozen pizza for dinner as Ken has gone hunting for the weekend. I learned a valuable lesson. When you remove pizza from a 450 degree oven is wise to assume the sauce is also at a temperature of 450 (even after you've let the pizza stand for about 10 minutes). Guess I should have paid more attention in physics class.

Because of the heat I did my annual reading of The Long Winter last night. Doing it right involves turning down the AC to at least 70 and sitting in a dark room. This usually doesn't happen until late July or early August. I wonder if this means I'll need to read it again later this summer.

And now, just for fun I'll leave you with a short passage from the book. Now that I'm older it makes me chuckle every time I read it.

"If only I had some grease I could fix some kind of a light," Ma considered. "We didn't lack for light when I was a girl, before this newfangled kerosene was ever heard of."
"That's so," said Pa. "These times are too progressive. Everything has changed too fast. Railroads and telegraph and kerosene and coal stoves -- they're good things to have but the trouble is, folks get to depend on 'em."

Silly Cats!

This basket has been sitting on the step for about a year. Just this week Warren decided that it's a good place to sit.

So, of course, Kitty had to check it out.

Don't know why Warren has to sit back in the corner like this whenever he gets a drink. He has no problem parking himself out in front of the dishes to eat. Goofy cat.

This is Warren's idea of a really good day. It's been dark and cold and rainy all day. Would have been the perfect day to take his advice and stay in bed all day, but I had work to do.
