Yesterday the temp got up to 89 (F). I consider that warm. Today and tomorrow the forecasters are saying that our high temps are going to hit 98 (F). That's hot. That's mid July weather, not middle of the month of May weather. Thursday a cooling trend is predicted to start with high temps for the rest of the week hovering in the mid to upper 70s (F). Start prepping for the heat waves now.
I had lunch with my friend Betsy yesterday. We always do Chinese buffet for the meal and Dairy Queen for the dessert. This is our routine. Conversation is always good. Sometimes if revolves around age, since both of us are getting older; there ain't no stopping that. She rents and I feel bad about that for her. But then at some point, all of us seniors will end up paying some form of rent, either to a landlord or to a senior living facility. American capitalism dictates that unless we are wealthy, we will always owe. At least I will have a financial cushion when I sell my house. That's something many will not have.
The thought had occurred to me to take the day off using the warm temps as an excuse, but I probably won't. It's not as though I have any plans to occupy my time. So, I suppose I'll be punching for my normal Monday shift.
And here's a real old pic of me from high school. While this isn't dated, I think it's from 1969, the year I graduated. This was long before I could grow a moustache. Don't those lapels rock!

Poor Vlad. 😁😁😁
