For over two weeks, I have been sloshing around in “a soup” of wet grass and mud.  Rain, rain, and more rain!! Yesterday my air conditioner choose to break down!!  No rain today and the temperature soared over 90 degrees.  I’m now in the frying pan!!  “Mid-90’s with humidity” according to TV weatherman and “almost 100 degrees by this weekend.”  Fortunately, I have a nice oscillating fan (that hasn’t been out of the box for over three years).  The repairman arrived about 5:00 PM and surveyed the situation.  Parts will be ordered but it may be several days before he can get the air-conditioner back in service.  ~~  I need to retrieve my thermometer from the travel trailer; I don’t know how hot it is in the apartment.  Eighty degrees, in the shade, on the patio, at this hour (6:45 PM).  ~~  Prophetic isn’t it: “Maybe I’ll need that some day.”  It took less than five minutes to get the Lasko HVB-tower fan out of the box and moving air in the living room.  ~~ Just thought my readers would like to know I can prepare a blog with different contents (LOL).

Postscript, Tuesday, July 16th, 2013, 11 o’clock: Eighty degrees outside, eighty degrees inside!! Outdoor temperature is forecast to reach ninety-three degrees. But it will feel much hotter due to humidity. I’ll have some reprieve because I’ll be working in an air-conditioned building this afternoon.

Trivia: I just checked Waxhaw, NC, weather and it lists 85 degrees current temperature, humidity 82%, precipitation 10%, wind zero.  ~~  Charlotte weather 90 degrees current temperature, humidity 64%, precipitation 10%, wind zero.  ~~  Lancaster, SC, (about 15 miles away) 83 degrees current temperature, humidity 77%, precipitation 10%, wind zero.
