The real HEAT is now on!

Greetings from good old Coralville, Iowa.. It has been HOT so long, an 85 deg day seems like a cool one! It does! It remains, most days, in the low 90s, but even the low 90s are far and away nicer than the 102, 105, 107 stuff. IF that is AZ you can keep it.. AZ is the desert, so if you live down there and it is hot, well, too bad, IT"S A DESERT!! Not Iowa, we grow corn and beans.. a few hot days in the 90s, once in a great while a 100 deg day.. ...Oh well, we have to take what comes..
NOW I am learning that the schools open here in Iowa City on August 16.. AUGUST 16! NOT all schools are air conditioned...Boy, that will be a load of fun for the kids, and the teachers. I am thinking that schools will have EARLY DISMISSAL at 1pm, for the HEAT and not the SNOW....I'll bet so!

Well, we did not have a/c in the house, let alone the school when I was a kid. I remember my arm flab sticking to the papers on my desk. If you picked up your arm, the paper (handout) came with it! Nothing you could do,, it was just plain hot.. I DO remember the Principal's Office being cool...............hmmm..

Now you can drive around town and see the dead and dying, and the soon to be dead and dying trees, shrubs, plantings etc.. We will lose a zillion trees and shrubs for a year or so. They just got no water. IF you want to make some money, I suggest you get into the tree/shrub removal business.Lots of people in the landscape business, but nobody in the shrub removal business. You will need a pickup truck, a chain saw, a rake, etc.. You will have plenty to do!  For a couple years

.....Yes Fall is here soon,, school opens, the same old stuff,, but this year, I am as excited about IOWA basketball! When was the last time you heard someone say that!  IOWA has stirred up the pot in basketball. This season should be fun! , with more to come! We are on the right track back!!

HOT summer nites back in the day. We had no a/c at home, neither did anyone else so I guess we never missed it. NOW we can't live without it!

Keep cool my friends!!
