However did We live without air conditioning in the car? I don't think my parents ever had AC in their car...maybe they did in retirement, but not when I was living home. We never had AC in the house, either.
Today is a scorcher. We're setting records for heat and heat deaths all over the USA. First thing in the morning, my window AC unit is turned on.
In spite of the heat, there are errands. I turn on the AC in the Ranger, then pick up Stephen in Stratford. Stephen must vacate his apartment today. Actually, it should have been done yesterday.
He and Allison have removed most of his possessions, but my truck is necessary to move the furniture.
At 8AM, We're on our way. Chores always takes more time than you want to. Management has moved Stephen's possessions into storage. We have to find the man with the key to get my grandson's stuff back. I pay Stephen's back rent and put it on his bill. (He will pay me back because He knows that I will not forgive his debt. It has more to do with character building than money. )
Some of the furniture is driven to Allison's house. Some of the furniture goes into storage at my house. Stephen and I stop for an early lunch and then I drive him back home. He has to shower and be at his new job by 1PM.
In the afternoon, Andy has to be driven to the Police Department to be finger printed. This procedure is part of a background check for eligibility for subsidized housing.
At home, the AC is blasting away. I can feel levels of heat rise as I walk up the stairs to get Andy. The higher up the stairs I walk, the hotter it gets. My AC is on the first floor. The cool air does not reach the second floor where the bedrooms are located.
Andy and I drive to the Police Department and wait our turn. Finger printing doesn't take very long. Being finger printed is the last step in obtaining his own efficiency apartment. I hope We hear soon.
In the car, Andy has the option of returning home or going to the mall. He wants to spend the day at the mall. It's air conditioned. Good choice.
Change of plans: He wants to go to I-Hop for pancakes. Andy says He's walked there before, but today, the temperature is in the high 90s. That is one long walk and not a good idea in this heat. Andy is driven to I-Hop for a pancake celebration.
I hope this heat and humidity breaks soon, too. My plants are being scorched Some have died. I'm confined to the house to escape the heat. The electrical bill keeps going up. ..and I'm bored inside. Tomorrow, the heat index is projected to be between 105 and 115 degrees.

I enjoyed perusing ur blog.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for all you do for Chris.
I really don't know what else to do for him at this point.
I'm trying to get as many lawyers names as possible for him to call, in hopes that one of them will have a hear t and do "probono"
I have heard of Copnstitutional Lawyers doin it if they feel that their Constitutional Rights have been violated.
Hi Staysee. Nice that you visited. I enjoyed your blog, too. How can it be that Chris is being court martialled without legal representation? this sounds like railroading.
Horrible about the heat. I worry about everyone there. I'm also not happy about the way the current administration wants to stick its head in the sand regarding global warming.
Sometimes I have to really fight to believe that the world is not going to hell in a handbasket.
