96 Degrees today... Hot Enough for Ya?

The Three H's-- that's what the weather people call it. A day when it is so hot you can fry an egg on a sidewalk. Or stand still and sweat. A day when you want to be outside because you wait all winter for this kind of day.... yet, the airconditioning beckons you back inside.

When I was a kid, on a day like today it was enough to just sit on a blanket under a tree and maybe look for four leaf clovers. Or run through the spray of a hose; swim in a 2 foot plastic pool... maybe even let grownups take pictures of me and my friends with silly hats.

Love this. I, too, remember those days. When putting on a swimsuit and dancing in the front yard in the summer rain was enough.

No cell phones. No Internet. No nothing.

God bless the boomers.
