HEAT WAVE

Today was said to be the hottest day in four years here in River City. Of course, the weather-pukes pegged it at a mere 100 degrees. I tend to ignore them. After all, they put their thermometers in the SHADE...so it is likely that 100 was not the top temp on those walking outside or driving around today. Tomorrow is expected to be worse.

Now, if one is going to live in the DC area, one must be prepared to deal with two things...HEAT and bullshit. (the latter regards politics and is for another discussion).
SO...I remembered the above picture of my pool duck, who resides in and around my pool all year...he was caught (unhappily) in a bit of a snow shower this past winter...
I never complained about the recent winter, except for it's lack of snow in sufficient amounts...so...too aid in cooling off, I offer Mr. Yellow Duck, avec snow. Circa 2/06.
