a tropical heat wave

think Carmen Miranda dance scene in Technicolor.....TS Beryl might bring rain to the region by mid-week.....for the holiday weekend temps pushing into the 90s.....I've got ceiling fans activated in a couple rooms.....but haven't had to crank the AC yet.....the meaty ribs are delicious, and the corn is satisfactory, but not as tender as that Valley Center corn I used to get at the local market....so I have cold chicken, cold ribs, slaw, etc.... for the next few days.....watched a Hell's Angels movie last night from 1966....with Peter Fonda, Nancy Sinatra, and Bruce Dern....it was pretty silly really.....I might have seen it back in the day, don't remember.....it was still warm out on the porch around ten at night.....it helps to use Off.....the one neighbor around the corner on Washington has got his whole house fan up and running....it will probably run for the next few months.....you hear this whooshing sound in the background all the time.....sort of soothing actually in the middle of the night when you got a window open and can hear it.....this morning you could see big pickups hauling trailers loaded with ATVs....dogs sticking their heads out the windows.....Summertime approaches.....
