Okay everyone. I think I'm back for good now. I have been gone on and off for about three weeks at Rainy Lake having fun swimming and kayaking and eating whatever the hell struck my fancy, but now I'm home for at least a few weeks, so hopefully I can get back to regular life for a while which includes blogging and not eating 10,000 calories a day. (Highlight of the trip: kayaking to an island and exploring and swimming around. Lowlight: I accidentally ate a spiderweb.)
I can't think of anything to tell you about right off the top of my head now because I'm so unbelievably HOT. I think I might right now, at this very moment be suffering from brain damage because my gray matter is literally being cooked. I read recently that camels are adapted to the desert in a bunch of clever ways, one of which is that their body absorbs heat and stores it and it doesn't go to their brain because there is some kind of barrier and insulation that keeps their brain nice and cool no matter how how hot their bodies get. I wish I had that because I'm so hot I can barely think, yet my saddlebags, which hold a large portion of my cellulite, are cool. Why can't my fat absorb the heat and leave my vital organs out of it? I have never in my life wished so bad that I was a camel.
Last fall Mitch and I thought we were sooooooooo smaaaaarrrt because we got new super duper insulation blown into the walls of our house. God, we were so smug about that; bragging about it, saying obnoxious things to people like, "Oh, you don't have blown-in insulation??? Weeee do. You need to get it. Seriously, you really need to get it." Now it is 9:30 at night, and it is 75 degrees outside but it is still 85 in the house! And now I know that you are thinking, "Oh, you don't have air conditioning??? Weeee do. You need to get it. Seriously, you really need to get it." Well, we don't have it because normally Duluth has only about five or six days that are unbearably hot. This year it's been much hotter which I usually like, but not when my brain gets hot. I may go swimming in Lake Superior tomorrow. If I live until then.

Ummm... you ate a spiderweb? Blech! Cough! Spew!
ReplyDeleteWe have air conditioning....even though we didn't use to need it here in Maine; but the last couple of summers, we've used it more and more! Global Warming, maybe?
ReplyDeleteI could never be a camel...too many toes.
