I headed to my place Monday afternoon to get some work done. I arrived at 5:00 and the temp inside the trailer house was 102. It was 105 outside. I turned on the AC and walked out. I lasted until 2:30 the next day and headed back home to D/FW.
No letup or rain in the forecasts.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Our AC went out Friday night and fortunately was fixed by 0830 Saturday morning. Bad electrolytic capacitor in the fan/compressor controls outside.

TOM G, I love your unit of time.

TOM G, I love your unit of time. I learned that while living in Mich.I once asked the nieghbor how long it took to get to Detroit and he answered"4 beers if your not thirsty,6-7 if you are".

It's so hot that:
Trees are whistling for dogs.
Hot water now comes out of both taps.
You've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot
water in the toilet bowl.
Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked
out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
Everywhere you look there is sunshine and warmth. It’s like living in the french fry bin at McDonalds.
You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron.
You discover that it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.
The best parking place is determined by shade instead of
distance.
A sad Texan prayed, "I wish it would rain - not so much
for me, cuz I've seen it -- but for my 7-year-old."
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Bring on the heat! Everything hurts less. I love deer hunting season, but can wait for the cold weather.

When I want to feel like a Texan on these 90 degree days, I go out and work is the warehouse where it is 110 plus. It is a dry heat versus the wet heat outside where your glasses fog over from the humidity.

Do you see anything political there?

Not anymore,but your post has changed too The Cheney/Bush portion of the original post has been spirited to a server in a secret location off American soil. I believe that is what they call in the business a "rendition".
