And I can only assume, at this point, you are also about to lose a wife?

Hahaha not sure where you are exactly, but my memory of Houston and Corpus Christi involves using my arms to swim through the air - the heat and humidity was suffocating; the air was so thick! Sunglasses fogging up instantly when you step outside from an air-conditioned room.

We regularly see 110F here Down Under in our south, but it's a dry heat. You can at least spend the day outside getting stuff done.

It's been about ten years, give or take. Thank you and fuck you for breaking my streak.

Edit: welcome 🙃

If you hadn't specified, I would have sworn that, with your vivid description, you must have been talking about 23 Farenheit. On a 23C day, I would be in the garden in short-sleeves soaking up the heat! Hahaha

That sounds like a good productive temperature 😀 I must admit, I run a little foot heater during the mornings at work (office, onsite) to defrost my extremities!

Interesting idea, banking some heat ahead of a storm. We regularly lose power here, but not for any significant length of time (minutes, not hours or days)

I don't know if our doors seal well enough to maintain any kind of temperature differential between rooms. I had never considered the consequences! It's kinda humid around the hills though, so we keep windows open during the day to keep fresh air moving around, even during winter (Southern Australia)

I think we would have to set fire to our curtains to sustain 23C in here... that's crazy talk! Y'all run around in socks and underpants? lol

Hahaha twenty-two?! I fear I may not know that feeling again until October!

Ahh how I wish for good insulation! Empty walls and breezy windows for us. How very grateful we are that Australian winters are mild 😬

Do it. Smother that thing in vanilla ice cream for extra dietary regret.

I'm not even sure they would be moved to "sheer horror".

If I saw a video of a monkey, flinging poo at another monkey, instead of using it to fertilise their banana trees, I would just chuckle and eat another biscuit. I would then move on to the next video, or seek out yet more biscuits.

I feel as though this is the relative scale of empathy we evoke as a species at this point 🤣
