Extremes

It's summer and yard work season is in full swing. Almost two months ago one of our neighbors across the street kicked things off by mowing her lawn in a bikini.

Temperatures at the were in the high 70's. No one should have to cover up in such unholy heat, I always say. My wife and I watched the show for a bit and pondered: If she's bikini'd in this weather, what will she be wearing in August? Nothing? It was a prospect that deeply worried at least one of us.

Of course, now we are flirting intently with 100 degree days. We have been introduced to act 2 of our circus of curiosities: A next-door neighbor kid who mows his yard in 99 degree heat... in jeans... in the middle of the afternoon.

He would work for nearly three whole minutes at a time before having to stop and cool down. Most impressive. Maybe he should have gone to the lady across the street and borrowed her bikini.

Just think how disturbing *that* would be.
