PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Cheryl Kennedy had just one word to describe the stagnant, sticky, downright dense heat that blanketed the downtown business district and most of the nation.

"Insanity. Insanity!" she said.

After a long sip from her bottled water, Kennedy added, "This is not fit for human beings. Without air conditioning, I don't think many of us could last like this for too long." (Italics mine)


Does this depress anyone else? Yeah, the heat sucks. Yes, it's hot. I HAVE A FEELING PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SURVIVING WEATHER LIKE THIS FOR A FEW HUNDRED/THOUSAND YEARS BY NOW.

Are we really becoming that dependent on technology, are we becoming collectively so soft, that we'd die out in the woods if the temperature stayed above 90 for a week?

Yeah, I drove out (borrowed topless jeep) yesterday to get lunch, and we sat outside today eating. Both nice days. Yeah, Hot. But better than being refrigerated inside all day. I'd rather be outdoors doing yard work.

Well, we certainly do have a yard desperately in need of work.

Feel free to have at it.

Aside from the mowin', what's it need?

Aside from a complete do-over?

Hey, we can put that on our list of projects. Tear out old grass. Roll flat. Add Turf.

Or... upend all plants, roll flat, start seeds.
