Yet another day of unbearable heat. So many people are cranking their AC’s that the mule can’t keep up. Power outages are starting to appear in the “historic” parts of the village.

Go ahead and charge it. I ain’t taking a lady’s wedding ring. Goodbye, Mrs. Bronson. Good luck to you. I’m going to try to get my family out tonight. Drive north. Canada, if we can make it. They say it’s cooler there. Not that it makes much difference. Just kind of…kind of prolonging it. Like everybody rushing to fix their refrigerators and air conditioners… Like somebody drowning in the ocean and trying to get a firm grip on a piece of seaweed. It’s nuts. It’s just prolonging it, that’s all. Lordy…Lordy, it’s hot.

Will outskirts go down? Will it run out of juice?
