IT'S THE HEAT??

I'm with granny - I am so sick of war and politics and bad news from all over the globe that I am about ready to throw in the towel. I don't know if I can hang in here until the elections. The old lady is tired.

If we don't take a break now and then we'll go insane. Thanks, Granny, for the meme. I'm not going to jump in there but it did give me pause for reflection, mentally reviewing some of the books I've read and finding it impossible to choose between oldies but goodies. A good book is never obsolete. As a matter of fact, I dug in my bookshelves until I found an old favorite and read a few choice chapters.

Here's a bit of news far and away from politics, war, global troubles, etc.

Well, you see Officer, it's like this.....

Sweltering Man Struts Nude : http://msnbc.msn.com/id/14191915
Lost clothes, car, and false teeth; on way to visit relatives.

Two nude men, one clad in cowboy boots and hat, other waving Old Glory. Alleged to have attended party that got out of hand. One captured, other escaped.

Babbling naked man rolling in street

Sounds as if he was under influence of more than pot; partners undoubtedly furious at him.

It is hot even in Maine:
Woman bakes cookies on dashboard of SUV. They look perfect and delicious.

The media always publishes a photo of someone frying an egg on a sidewalk during a heat wave.
However, the egg wasn't edible. This woman's cookies appear very edible. A way to use solar heat to practical advantage. I've read of "engine cooking"- placing a foil wrapped food item on the car engine when traveling and the item cooking very well. Meal ready at the end of the journey.
When Husband and I were in Western Australia where summer heat is intense, he and co-workers cooked a steak on the rocks at jobsite. And they ate it!

I hope everyone is keeping cool and safe.
