You have a cool port, Laura!

It wasn’t an ode, it wasn’t even a paean.

I’d prose a lament for this month personally

Don’t pay what he’s ode.

You won’t think that when it gets up to triple digits.

And how I pray thar thee and thy sister August will speedily depart from the hemisphere, to be replaced by the cool freshness of autumn (with the kids back in school).

We’ve been in the 90s and even 100s for a few weeks. This used to be abnormal in these parts. What happens next is anyone’s guess.

July doth not bring the heat down here in Oz.

We had 1 degree centigrade in Melbourne city recently, with many higher and country areas experiencing several degrees lower (i.e. well below freezing), with more to come all week at least. For some reason, snow is very uncommon in the central city and nearby suburbs, yet our ski areas are reasonably close, and quite popular.

Heatstroke has set in. (I know that’s hard to tell with Adam, but…)

It feels like limerick weather This weather I swear makes me swelter I really do need to find shelter I say it’s so hot and I kid you not I feel I have died and gone to h—-ter

To paraphrase the Bard:

Shall I compare thee to a summer day, for thou art a hot, sweaty, stinking, mess.

Do not enjoy the weather right now, here in the US Northeast, at all. Really don’t see what’s so great about being sweaty, irritable, hot, dehydrated, sun addled and sleepless. As a hiker, I vastly prefer winter. No heat, no humidity, no bugs, no pollen, no rocks, no roots, less tourists. What’s not to love?

That was ode-ious.

“Summer In The City” by The Lovin’ Spoonful

Pretty sure it’s odd.

He doesn’t speak for the rest of us, Mother Nature!

You misspelled “odd”.

He ode her that much.

He’s well versed in gibberish. That explains his writing success.

And that T-shirt….

Captain James T. Kirk: Spock. Comment.

Mr. Spock: Very bad poetry, Captain.

Give me that ode time religion

That would get old fast
