How's Everyone Coping with the Heat??
This summer has been especially brutal, at least in the Northeast, with lots of humidity and higher than average temps. I know a lot of you are down south or out west, so I'm not going to complain!
I've also been noticing some really great finds, so I know that the heat doesn't stop you die hard md'ers. I really wonder how you all do it!
Here in Vermont, most of the homes are not air conditioned. This is probably because in typical practical Yankee fashion, it's not practical to incur that kind of expense for something that you are only going to need a few weeks out of every year.
Over the winter, we moved to a lovely post and beam home where all of the windows are of the crank out variety. Despite the fact that we have 3 window AC units, there is just no way of fitting them in the windows. I understand that they make units that do not get installed in the window, but being a hard-headed Yankee myself, I keep thinking that this hot spell is going to end any day, and then I'll regret the purchase.
On top of the heat, I've been suffering with a hum dinger of a summer cold, complete with sore throat, cough and congestion. I feel absolutely awful!! So, to get through, we've all been spending a lot of time at the lake, where the water is like a bathtub, or if we are up to a hike, at the local falls, where the water is COLD.
I've not touched the metal detector in something like three weeks, and I'm going through withdrawal. I've been spending time researching places to go, but that's only adding to my frustration. I find myself hoping for a good storm to cool things off..and, I hate to admit it, but fall sounds good about now.
Wishing everyone a great weekend and a break in the weather!
