The dome is working its way across the United States, moving in a clockwise circular motion, in which warm air is continually drawn up from the south and distributed to the east north east. <br /><br />Summer in the city can be a time of great crankiness. Tempers can spring into action suddenly. I am endeavoring to stay calm even when staying cool is impossible. My apartment is not air conditioned. Drinking cold water is helpful, as is running some cold water in the bathroom tub and splashing around a bit in my bare feet.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076700259367716722.post-29855015179100379222016-07-23T01:27:53.621-07:002016-07-23T01:27:53.621-07:00I don't feel the heat, but I do feel the cold....I don't feel the heat, but I do feel the cold.

The sand, of course, was intensely hot and my effort looked more like a sand devil.<br /><br />It has been intensely hot and humid here in the wild woods of Tennessee.
