Excessive Heat, Earthquake and More

Not only did we have a heat advisory for all of last week, today we had Flash Flood Warnings along with yet another earthquake and a planned power outage scheduled for later this evening.

Online at the time of the quake, feeling the worktable shake rattle roll at 10:34 a.m., I logged onto earthquake information, learned the actual 3.5 quake happened a half hour earlier — 10:05 AM, 3.7 miles away in Ontario. What I felt was a strong aftershock.

I have been thinking about, worried for those astronauts lost in space. However, now I’m thinking that, what with excessive heat, earthquakes, flashfloods, this may be the end of planet earth and those two astronauts will find themselves, with no planet to return to, in the position of being Adam and Eve 2.0.

Earlier in the week I’d been invited by granddaughter and grandson-in-law to spend time with them, and the toddlers, apple picking on a farm in Oak Glen.

I’d have loved to spend time with the great grandbabies, but not out in the hot sun, so I passed.

Turned out I’d made a wise choice as apples were picked, but not for long. The heat was overbearing, so it was decided a visit to great granny was the more comfortable fun day out.

Somebody really loved playing with my exercise ball.

The sound she makes when laughing is hilarious. Sounds like a little cricket.

Somebody else preferred listening to classical music on his little player.

All in all, a very nice visit — not too long, not too short, an opportunity to kiss all over the grands.

Next up in the planned power outage, supposedly 1 am to 9 am. Going to be rough with no A/C cooling the bedroom tonight, but hopefully power is restored before the excessive heat fires up tomorrow.
