Morning! Supposed to be cooler here as well so I guess no napping for me.
I think napping is a heat thing, a late night thing, a flu thing, a freezing cold thing, but not an old thing. They are called "Power Naps!"
Time for some coffee....

Good morning, Café. Thanks for the coffee Debby. Going to be another scorcher here today. Then T storms this afternoon and moderating temps for the rest of the week. As soon as I finish my coffee I am going to mow the back lawn and then take it easy today. I did take a short nap yesterday. Must be getting . I NEVER nap.

Good Morning! Sir Sour
I must be really I normally take a pre-lunch nap or sometimes a pre-chores nap, but usually not both in the same day.
Have a good mowing morning!

Hot one here today, actually all week we're high 90s and the forcast is for low 100s early next week.

But the humidity is low and it still cools off nicely at night due to our altitude, so I'm not complaining.

Thanks for the coffee Debby!

My mother never missed a meal, always took a nap, got a minimum of 8 hours of sleep every night - she lived to be 97 - mentally sharp to the end. Naps may just be a good thin g.

Oh, for Heaven's sake, NFC! Hard as you work, you havin' to get stuff goin' here, too? Least I could have wandered in here and given you a hand, sheesh!

Coffee's good, though.

Mornin, y'all!

Well, Critter is a happy camper; his battery-powered trimmer finally arrived. He got it from a guy selling stuff on eBay. The seller is in Georgia; Critter got the tracking number when it shipped, and followed it as it wandered from hub to hub here in North Carolina (seriously, it could have gotten to Wilmington faster on horseback). But things really went south when it got to the local post office. For years and years, any package that wouldn't fit in a mailbox stayed at the PO, and they just put a card in your box for you to come and get it . . . well, they have started delivering packages again. The problem here is that there are several 5 or more acre lots at the back of some otherwise ordinary neighborhoods (remnants of a mini-farm style development from back in the 60's that never really flew), and they don't fit the pattern when it comes to addresses.

And because our house is back from the road, the carrier couldn't figure out where it was, so she went down a different road and delivered it to a house that she obviously knew it couldn't be, though even that house didn't have the address she thought it did.

When the box didn't show up here, Critter went down to the PO, talked to the carrier, got the address she thought she had dropped it at, talked to the folks that live there (who didn't know nothin' 'bout no package, since one hadn't been delivered there), so Critter goes back to the PO, talks to the carrier again. She says that she has been leaving notes at the house, but the package hasn't been left out for her to collect. Critter also got a physical description of the house, and straightened out her mistake. He even tried to contact the (correct) homeowner directly - still nothing. Yesterday morning, after a few more days of no response, he went down to the PO again, and filed a claim (with the correct wrong address this time). We suspect someone at the Post Office may have threatened legal action . . . but whatever transpired, the trimmer has finally arrived, and Critter is pleased with it.

Good Tuesday Morning! Friday
I can get by with a mid 90's heat spell pretty good if it gets down to the very low 70's or even into the 60's at night. Those 100's are just toooooo much for me anymore.
Stay safe, and have a good day!

Good Morning! Bunny
That sounds like somebody needs to remind them what customer service is all about!
Glad that Critter is happy with his trimmer.
Have a good day watching Critter.

That's how it's supposed to be here too! It's been 90s for 2 or 3 days, today is the 3rd or 4th day. I HATE heat. Wake up overheated or sweating. Then all day you don't even move or go outside and your covered with that just like grimy feeling that only happens in the heat. Like my face and everything gets all grimy. Not even really sweaty but just that gross grime. Even if you shower. Feels like you could take about 20 showers a day hahaha soooo even though I am TERRIFIED of thunderstorms..... I cannot wait for them today! Now all I gotta do is wait till 3 or 4 lol

Morning! Coffee and Tea are on..
Now this is just a duh.... anyone up here should know better!
"Bears are out and about. Close those ground floor windows! I just had a bear come in my bedroom window. Thankfully ____ were sleeping upstairs and I just heard a bunch of banging around. It seems to have scared itself knocking down the lamp and gone back out but it could have wreaked havoc and been a very nasty surprise if I'd been sleeping in my bed."
