"I don't think we do get smarter as we get older, I just think we run out of stupid things to do." ― Yogi Bear*

[George McGovern]

Yogi aside, please meet Fred Bear. Fred became friends with my wife Laurie on a Catholic Cursillo retreat years ago and they've been together ever since.

Long before she and I knew of each other's existence.

Fred has picked a cool spot to while away these summer days. We purchased this portable AC one year ago. Growing up amidst Connecticut humidty my dad's AC
was a welcome respite. Laurie and I are grateful for ours.


We hope you are coping well enough with conditions, wherever you are.

*If the title of this post was misleading I regret any misunderstanding. It's just that
our Fred has no sense of humor. And Yogi does.

1. Love your picker-upper.

I keep two at the ready, especially when I need one to pick up the other one, and two heavier-duty ones for the outdoors.

Beary nice.

5. That's right Walleye. Like to think we've learned a lesson or three or fifty or so along the way.

7. In my case, I've run out of stupid things I have the ability to do.

[George McGovern]

[LoisB]

9. I am going to believe that.

10. We have been in triple digits for weeks

I get about one hour of outdoor time early in the morning, then it's hunker down time

[George McGovern]

11. I've never seen such heat. Must be miserable outside. Hope inside's more tolerable.
