MELT DOWN

YOU SAW THE PICTURES IN YESTERDAYS BLOG…….

DAMN IT’S BEEN HOTTER THAN HELL.  YESTERDAY ONE OF OUR TWO A/C UNITS QUIT RUNNING, THE ROOF TOP UNIT. DO YOU REMEMBER MY BLOG ABOUT A CANARY IN A BIRD CAGE USED DOWN IN THE MINES?  IF THE THE CANARY DIED THE MINERS KNEW THEY WERE IN TROUBLE AND ESCAPED THE MINE IN TIME.  AT THAT TIME I SAID WE HAD HOUSE CATS AND IF ONE OF THE CATS DIED DUE TO THE HEAT I’D TAKE ACTION TO GET OUT OF THE HEAT.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN YOUR FAMILY CAT LAY OVER ON IT’S SIDE PANTING AND BREATHING WITH IT’S MOUTH WIDE OPEN?  NOT A PLEASANT SIGHT!!!

WE JUMPED IN THE TRUCK AND TOOK OFF FOR LOWES. “DO YOU THINK LOWES WILL BE SOLD OUT OF AIR CONDITIONERS?” THEY HAD A COUPLE LEFT ON THE SHELF AND WE HAD IT RUNNING IN NO TIME IN THE FRONT ROOM.  NOW WE HAVE THREE A/C UNITS.

BOTH CATS HAVE SURVIVED, AND IT’S ONLY 13 DAYS UNTIL WE ESCAPE TO “THE MOUNTAIN” FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

THIS IS OUR FIFTH SUMMER ON THE LOWER MOHAVE DESERT, AND EVEN IF WE HAVE SIX WEEKS OFF THIS SUMMER AND TEN WEEKS PLANNED OFF FOR NEXT SUMMER, THE END OF SUMMERS ON THE DESERT CAN’T COME SOON ENOUGH!
