@nprofile1q... AC is a blessing for sure, but if you don't have it I totally agree, something like a desk fan right on you can make a huge difference.

When we lived in San Jose one summer the power went out and the high was 108ºF. I plugged my desk fan into an invert that I had hooked up to a spare 12v car battery and had that blowing on me while I read on the couch. It made a miserable heat not bad at all.

@nprofile1q... I have the badge from an Opel Cadet Rallye that I found out in the hills, among the remnants of the car.

@nprofile1q... Damn, that sucks! I thought I got bad sleep last night from lying awake for way too long in the middle of the night, but your night sounds miserable.

Good luck getting through it. It's so easy to say and think "Don't worry about things you have no control over" but the reality is that logic is sadly unhelpful when you're stressed like that.

@nprofile1q... So very idyllic, especially with the clouds passing low overhead like that.

Thanks for posting. I think it lowered my blood pressure by 20 points. 😂

@nprofile1q... May this just be the first of many removals of his name absolutely everywhere!

@vitalis This reminds me of a favorite zinger I saw: "You look like you drop common loot when you're killed." 😂

@nprofile1q... Indeed, like she's wearing funny little short and white socks. Also the pattern on her face looks like something from Picasso!

@nprofile1q... Haha, good one! And at least now I have a different song stuck in my head...
