Me too.  Two trees out front of our house badly needed trimming,
so I got a relatively early start this morning--trying to beat the
heat.  By the time I was done, I was whupped.

Sent this pic to a friend who's big time into theater, and told
him, "Just call me the Mad Barber of Shrewsbury Dr.'

His reply?  "Come hear the tale of Sweeney Ted."  Very clever.

   I can't imagine being out trying to enjoy camping in heat
 like this. My brother living in Florida says he is getting used
 to it, but I don't think I ever could.  It's just unbearable,
 and unlike the cold where you just put on another layer, you
 can't get away from it....unless of course you stay in the
 house.  Oppressive is putting it mildly!

I know, right?  Sitting in the trailer with the AC blasting just
doesn't appeal.  I've been wondering if there are places north of
here that might be cooler, but I bet we would have to drive a
*long* way.  Grumble.
