Tales from the warm side

Posted on Monday, June 13th, 2022 at 6:59 pm

Wednesday is bank run day. I’ll try to get back from Bryan asap, before the furnace turns on.


The fridge is free of entrees. I’m coasting on quick fix now. The avocado was a few hours early, but close enough. Jambalaya container is out of the drying rack. I haven’t done quick fix in quite a while, so not an issue. I’m picky enough. I expect to thaw and prep brisket and spare ribs later in the week. I need to open the Blue Bell for the strawberry puree.


I got ice last night at 3 am. No competition. I saw one other vehicle on the street. A nice, calm, pleasant experience.


Yes, it’s an early heat, though not the first I’ve known. In Texas, usually is a necessary term in describing seasonal weather. Some years break records. Some don’t. I saw 100°F in February (’94).


I’ve got a cool room. My cool room keeps me occupied and comfortable during the afternoon. I can take the weather, I’ve had a few decades to get used to it. I know how to stay cool in the heat.
