TODAY, I AWOKE TO THE SOUND OF THE AIR CONDITIONING MACHINE RUNNING AND WARM AIR IN THE BEDROOM. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO CALL FOR REPAIR, UNTIL I GOT OUT OF BED. ALL THE SLIDING DOORS WERE OPEN AND SOME WINDOWS CRACKED OPEN. IT WAS 88 DEGREES OUT AND HUMID. MY WIFE TOLD ME SHE LIKE THE FRESH AIR IN THE HOUSE. SO, I TOLD HER AS LONG AS SHE WANTED TO COOL THE ATMOSPHERE, THE NEXT POWER BILL IS HERS. BETTER YET, I THINK I'LL BUY HER A TENT FOR THE SUMMER.

TOO HOT TO REALLY DO ANYTHING, SO WE WALKED TO THE LAKE AND SAT IN THE SHADE WITH A SLIGHT BREEZE BLOWING. TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO A BEACH NEARBY TO WATCH THE SUNSET, WHERE 2 PEOPLE BLOW TAPS AS THE SUN GOES DOWN. A DAY WITHOUT WORRY IS A BLESSING.
