Missing

[emptynest]

And that's why I am anxious to repay this boogie man a dear favor.       He and I go way back and he has teased me for quite some time.  I just think a few little pranks might be in order---but no one will get hurt.  Just know I am working on it and will keep you posted.

Let me know if I can help.

Okay - but I want to know - how many of you run around with binoculars?

     

[kdfrawg]

Not guilty. I'm not sure I still HAVE binoculars.

 We just had storm front go through here that dropped the temp. down to 76.7, what a difference! It is still raining, so everything is getting a much needed drink. I know it won't last, but it's nice. I wish I could send you some cooler weather.

I will tell you that my boss and I have complained so much about the heat in the cell house that the maintenance man has decided to make the air conditioning work.  The segregation cell houses are supposed to be air conditioned with the maximum temp at 78.  Well, it has surpassed 78 degrees.  It has been between 82 and 85 in my office and I have two fans going.  Some of the inmates do not have fans at all.  Today when I left the temp in my office was 77 degrees.  It is cooling down and I believe that the Warden made an order to leave the air on until the cell houses have cooled down.  The air is supposed to cycle like on one hour and off two or some damn thing like that.  The air would come on for about 5 seconds and go off.  Anyway, maintenance is working on it.

I am used the heat - especially this extreme stuff, but it sure takes it out of you.  And since I know I have to be outdoors in it....it has somewhat seasoned me.  But, when I get home in the evening I want to be comfortable........And when school starts in a few days, I want to comfortable there, too.  For sanity and health reasons, I hope, Janet, that the air is working for you when you return on MOnday.

tell me, what did we do before air-conditioning? We seemed to have survived.  I keep mine set on 78 all the time.   At nite might turn it up to 79.  Seems to work just fine.  I realize it is probably uncomfortable for the workers, but I have no sympathy for the prisoners that might have to sweat a little.  It's not suppose to be HOME SWEET HOME for them.

I can't remember when we bought our first fan or using a fan.  I know we did.  We kept the windows open.  The kids ran around in almost nothing and played in the water.  I dressed lightly, always wore a dress or skirt and skirts are cooler than pants.  And they were almost always cotton.  We didn't have as much asphalt or cement and there seemed to always be a good shade tree close to the house.

We used an evaporative water cooler that helped quite a bit.  We finally bought a window air conditioner some time in the early 70's.  Didn't have central air until we bought our first new double-wide in 1982.  Sure would hate to be without it now.
