They finally got Osama so let's talk about the weather. It has been unseasonably cool for the past 2 days. That's wonderful. We are looking forward to the start of 100 degree days any time now. There are contests to guess when the mercury will hit 100. But it is a dry heat, so anything under 100 is tolerable.
Let me clue you in about how to survive the desert in summer.
-First rule: Stay in the shade. If you have to walk, or choose to walk, look for the shady side of the street, the shady route, and walk in the shadows.
-Second rule: Get a large brim hat and wear it.
-Third rule: Close the blinds, shades, drapes, or any other window coverings you have during the day to insulate your home. Windows are a puny R1 which is just a little better than nothing, so any way you can help keep the heat and direct sunshine out is going to make your home more comfortable. Folks used to put aluminum foil on windows. Is that illegal now?
-Fourth rule: Wake before dawn and get going early. That's the coolest time of day. You want to get as much done before noon as possible.
That's it. You want 10 Commandments, read Moses' blog.
