Mon. June 17, 2024: Intent for the Week — Survive The Heat

This week, the heat and humidity are predicted to be brutal and dangerous.

We do not have air conditioning (nor can we put it in).

That means adjusting the week. Working early in the morning and in the evening, when it’s bearable. Being offsite when possible, at libraries and museums, where it’s air conditioned in the middle of the day.

Of course, all libraries around here are closed on Wednesday, for Juneteenth, which is supposed to be the most brutal day of the week. So we will spend the day at the Clark.

The cats get ice cubes in their water bowls. If necessary, I will cool down their footpads with cold washcloths.

We have fans.

If the power stays on — and, no doubt, they will make excuses, forgetting that the only reason the companies exist is to provide power — we will mange.

Take care of yourselves, and think good thoughts for those of us under the heat advistory.
