Hot town: Summer in the city!

Yes, that is a song title from 1966!! I only know that as I Googled.

I was in “town” today … Kalispell, MT … for a dental appointment. I very much dislike leaving Emmett when it is so hot and I don’t like to leave the A/C units all running … my worry being fire. I set them up to 75F vs 68F so that the fans would run, but compressors not kick in unless house got too warm… AND, I have my Echo (Amazon) devices set to “listen” for smoke alarms … HOO RAH!!

Good news, is that I arrived home and house was 71F so perfectly comfortable and quiet-ish and no issues.

Emmett was happy to see me and we went out immediately to check things out: Jeep, garage, yard … AND play in the hose!!!

It is “slightly” cooler today … 93F vs 96F and even in town it showed 95F vs 99-100F. Still HOT!

I let the Jeep sit with windows and hatch open while in the dentist and even it was not as hot as I feared when I went to drive home.

So … semi-stressful run to town in the heat, but Emmett is well (!!!), house was not over heated, I was not over heated, the plants are ok … so YEA! PLUS, some things I thought might be dental issues are not and I am established at a new dentist and another YEA!!

Temps are to remain hot, but low 90’s F vs high 90’s and better overnight cooling.

For the curious and/or those of my vintage wanting to step into the way back machine :)

      Agreed! I am surprised how many songs come to mind … especially when I go to write :)

    So fortunate you have a nice cool temp at night. I hope to not have another heat wave like we experienced over last weekend/early this week.

      It sounded far worse for your area, Steph, than here! I hope you (and we) do not have another, but at least here, I imagine we will. The later it gets and the more nighttime (hours of dark) we have, the more manageable.

    I used to love that song back in the day so I really enjoyed hearing it and actually seeing it…(revealing true age) as it was all radio for us then.

    Pretty hot here, too, with temps around 33 to 40C but we don’t have air conditioning except in the car. I have recently been to the dentist, too, but I had to have major work done (an implant) so I’m not feeling as lucky as you. But it had to be done so I’m glad it’s over.

    Stay cool and give Emmett a pat from me!

      I looked up the lyrics first and was really surprised what good “poetry” they are. The song must have stayed on top for some time as I remember it well and was 11 in 1966 so not really listening to my own choices then :)

      I had an implant several years ago … not that much fun so glad yours is over also. I have some crowns needed on the horizon but thankfully not right now!

      You stay cool, also!!
