Death Valley

One hundred thirty degrees yesterday.
Somewhere on the border between 
Nevada and California...

I wear wet clothes..
I do it on purpose.
Wet and cold.

I have no ac.

Guess what, have an AC and rarely use it. It was not so hot in Malta this summer. So a good fan just helped. ~~

Try no clothes for a really deep tan! Aloha! Rico

I am feeling for all of you today, so grateful that I have AC. A poem that will remind you of August when you read it in December.

I just read a poem on this same topic, Catie...what a coincidence! I like how you found a solution to having no AC :) Best regards // paul
