Can't beat 'em, join 'em...

Well it has been well over 100 degrees in Wichita Falls for like 43 consecutive days or something like that. It's been getting up to like 113ish every day! My a/c and pretty much everyone else's here in the area is not able to keep up. So I decided today since I can't beat the heat I will just give in. I set my a/c to 83 today and I will be happy if it can keep up with that (though I doubt it). It has been almost 90 degrees in this apartment for weeks now every day. It finally starts cooling off usually around 4 am, and never does get down past about 75 period. This process has made me be so much more thankful for the things we have. I couldn't help but cry when thinking a few nights ago about the homeless. In the winter everyone rallies around to get them blankets and coats, but there is not much to do for the summer heat. Maybe we should be gathering hand held fans, and spray bottles? I just don't know that any effort I make will be supported nor helpful. Anyway my thoughts and prayers are with those without air conditioning whether they be homeless or just can't afford to fix a broken unit.
