It has been so hot here in Hoosierville. The last few weeks have been nearly unbearable. Not only raging temps but unbelievable humidity has abounded also.
Ag referred to the ITF wedding day being hot, and it was. Just imagine days on end of heat at least that intense, Ag! You probably want to keep your summer visits to Hoosierville short.
Work is insufferable. No airflow, no fans, just stifling heat. Today a co-worker had a bad leak near the end of his air hose. He didn’t fix it, he liked it there blowing on him. When I took my lunchtime nap today, I first went and got his air line and laid it so the leak was blowing on me. Relief.
We live in a basement, which stays pretty cool most of the time. Until this summer of course. We have fans going everywhere and it’s still miserable.
But today. . . .
Our landlady had the AC boys come and install air conditioning!! Oh yeah!

one option would be to load up bride and massive quantities of gifts and “head west young man”. The cool breezes blow and the ice tea doth flow! Here in OR-E-GON, we needeth not to rely on the minimal amount of relief given off by a whispering air leak. Douglas

I am actually usually cold. Therefore the nights here, I sleep with blankets and the fan on just for the noise so that I can sleep. The weather here in Hooserville really has been quiet pleasant for me. This is just the way summers here are. Tom just needs to get used to all the great things there are about Indiana. I really do love you Tom! Jewel

You’re not kidding about the humidity in IN right now!! I live in IA but was in Hoosierville Monday and Tuesday, visiting friends in Goshen. When I saw your most recent post I thought “Amen!”
P.S. Love your blog-and AHQ!!

You know, you COULD move to Utopia where it hit 100 earlier this week–but the humidity was only 19% and with a breeze–and it still cools off at night. Yeah, A/C admittedly feels good on a day that hot, but you know the heat won’t last long and the weather will soon be back to its Utopian self. Wouldn’t trade this place for anywhere else to live!
By the way, big congrats on the marital status. Many happy UTOPIAN years to you! :-)
A loyal, radical Utopian,
