I second the hard to hear with masks on. Especially when you are listening to 6 year olds, and a fourth of your class is in speech and language. Normally I'm pretty good, but today was hard for me to understand some of them.

It was in the 40s when I left for work today. Too soon. Too soon.September 1st. Hard to believe, the start of September many times meant light-jacket weather when I was a young child going to school... down in Georgia.
Now, reaching September means we have about a month left of the miserable heat during the day, and fingers crossed October will bestow mercy, but no guarantees.

It's a damn good thing that climate change is nothing more than a hoax from China otherwise we'd be cooked alive by now.

This guy is an acquired taste, and can be a bit much sometimes (imo), but I found this to be fascinating, especially the popsicle experiments in the parking lot.It's a damn good thing that climate change is nothing more than a hoax from China otherwise we'd be cooked alive by now.
From the heatwave that hit Death Valley a few weeks ago. I was in an air-conditioned room and started feeling hot just watching it.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I’m headed to Long Point to spend the day with Auntie, who is staying in a friend’s camper trailer for the week. (I was supposed to go tomorrow when the weather is nice, but Auntie’s guest for today cancelled, and she has no one. As my Nan used to say, “Good old Jen”.)
When I was a kid, I was forbidden to ever go there because there are very bad undertows, and my dad’s good friend was one of many drowning victims over the years.
To date, I’ve never been. Everybody always says, “What do you mean you’ve never been to Long Point?!?”
Well today’s the day. If I don’t go swimming, am I actually breaking the family rule?

My Mother would have been very happy with you. As kids, my sister an I were never allowed beyond ankle depth. She was deathly afraid of water. She never talked about it but we heard through family channels that she had a boyfriend the drowned so she just couldn't deal with it. I had to learn how to swim when I went in the service. They had a fool proof system. They threw you in the deep end and if you were still with the squad on the way back, you were officially a swimmer.
When my kids were young I bought a 24 foot above ground pool. She nearly had heart attacks when my girls would jump in and do hand stands in the pool.

When I was a kid, I loved swimming around in the water. You see, in my case, my mother was always afraid of the water, but she didn't want me to be afraid. So, she enrolled me in Red Cross swimming class for kids and I excelled.
Whenever my mother took me to the beach, she had a heck of a time talking to me to come out of the water, when it was time to go home. I never wanted to leave. She used to call me a fish!!

Yea, my girls spent their summer looking like prunes from never coming out of the water. They went to 4H camp that was located on a small lake and they both received awards for swimming across the lake (probably half a mile) and back quickly. As a tool for becoming thought of as a good parent, that pool was the best investment I ever made.When I was a kid, I loved swimming around in the water.

I quoted myself because I wanted to add that one of the girls now has a family wading pool that they just sit in to cool down. It's about 8 ft long and 4 ft wide and a whopping 12 inches deep. Plus it is inflatable. The other never had one at all and almost never goes swimming. Both keep talking about how much they love to go to the ocean which is about 2.5 hours from here, but only go once every couple of years.

Heck I'm in my 70's and have been twice since they have and I am not even a beach person.
