I realize that I live in Texas by choice...actually be default; it's where my parents settled. I moved away to North Carolina but returned to Texas...it's home so I shouldn't complain BUT it's hotter than Hades here this week! We reached 106 yesterday and 104 today! You step outside and you just wilt. People talk about "oh it's a dry heat" as opposed to a "wet heat" like Houston is...let me tell you...at 106 it doesn't matter if it's wet or dry because you're going to have sweated off a gallon of water in a matter of seconds! Hot is HOT! One of the "yard sticks" that we Texans hold up is that Phoenix Arizona is usually much hotter than Dallas (where I am) but yesterday they were a cool 90! I've been to Phoenix and let me tell you it's hot there! I've actually taken an egg, cracked it on the pavement and fried it in Phoenix! Yesterday I have a feeling all you had to do was take the egg, still in its shell, outside and it would have hard boiled in seconds! I could move, this is true, but I'm settled and getting old so here I sit, in a puddle of sweat, with the ceiling fan going full blast and the Air Conditioner working overtime! If it weren't for the fact that people come in my office I might even have stripped down to my undies!
I would never have made it in pioneer days, there's just no way. Give me a tall glass of Ice Tea with a lemon slice on the rim, a ceiling fan and central air any day! Plus there's the whole "bathroom issue" I am not a woman that will ever become accustom to using the great outdoors...I need a flushing WC!
I wonder sometimes who thought up these things? Who invented the toilet? I know that the first flushable toilet was in England (thank you!) but who actually thought it up? Or things like ice machines! What a wonderful invention! Paper clips...now that's an interesting design to twist around like that...weird stuff makes me ponder...like high heels! What satanic MALE thought those up!
I hope you're cool and comfortable where you are, may the AC and WC gods be with you this hot August...it'll cool off around here sometime in December...with any luck.

So what the heck is a WC?
Forgive B. Roan's rude sounding comment. But, what is a WC? That is HOT! I remember all too well.
It's a water closet of course.
Sorry, that you're suffering such extreme heat - just I don't know how I'd fair...
Keep cool as best you can.

It rained last night! It actually hit the ground and didn't evaporate into the air! Today it's a balmy 97!!!
A WC is a Water Closet. A Water Closet is a toliet.
Oh!
I'm waiting for a post. Have you been over to Rubbish? You should go and check out my Critter Corner post from Sunday. You might recognize the little fella.
