After living in Southern hot summers for 27 years, I still find the extended heat physically exhausting. Give me a New England summer any time. I don't find extremes of either hot, or cold enjoyable any more. (I think that's called being "OLD") Ugh.

We went nine days with no daytime temp above 26 degrees. That is the longest stretch of extreme cold here in 35 years. Being older does make a difference in handling extreme temps, be they hot or cold.

After 2 weeks straight of below zero temps here, I am definitely enjoying the current thaw. My stupid joints got so tight during the cold snap, you could've bounced a quarter off of them.

It was a rough go for everyone. My city just ended its boil drinking water directive after a week of doing so. The thought was bacteria could enter through the cracked water mains, cracked because of the cold.

You just reminded me... our neighbors (the ones who spend eight months ripping out and rebuilding the inside of their house, then an additional two months putting in a pool) are missing this past week. Both cars in the driveway but no lights on. No clue where they went. They are not the most "typical" people in the neighborhood. A bit off center, shall we say. Nice, but....this meme describes them perfectly:

OMG...now that would seriously freak out the people next door. If they ever come back, that is. Still no sign of them.

Why do spiders need to be farmed? Venom collection to create an antivenom antidote?

I worked on a loading dock for a short time. It'd be a safe book to read to truckers. Nothing they haven't heard, or said, before...
