Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to turn the air conditioning on yesterday.
Inside temperatures rose to 81F in the late afternoon and it was 85F
outside. Today the unit hasn't run at all, overcast with a stiff wind
blowing. Here in SW Louisiana you don't like the weather, wait five
minutes and it will change.

OB: Took SIL to Richard's (Reechard's) cafe for lunch. He had the
catfish platter, I had crawfish etouffee on white rice with a small bowl
of potato salad and another of nice slaw.

It's going to be 85 here in coastal SC today and got up to 80 yesterday
(inside and out!). I've *got* to convince my mother to turn on the AC! She
can wear a wool coat LOL

Sounds tasty! I'm not sure what to do about dinner today. I'm in a fish or
seafood sort of mood, at least at the moment.

The "refrigeration" man came yesterday.... I didn't know he was going
to show up and I was in the middle of a class. He set the room's
thermostat to 66 for heat and it *had* to be 4 degrees above that for
to cool. I sweat at an inside temp of 70.... but I said yes anyway -
because I had just a couple of seconds to make the decision. The
pressure was on.... what did I want to do? Turn on the heat more or
turn on the air conditioning more? I'm experiencing buyer's remorse
now. Today was beautiful and warm. The day he came was windy and
cold. Arrugh.

It's autumn. The migrating birds have fled. The mangoes are long
gone and the grass is fast drying out.

Football is in season; fog is on the river at dawn; and it will soon
be too bloody cold for a tropical lad! (It'll be 6 months or so
before I'm whinging about the heat again. ;-)

Cheers, Phred.
