Haynes, named after the late, great Vernon Haynes, can't remember what name it goes under nowadays. Anyhow, we'd watch the temperature sign across Metairie Road from us and bet whether or not it'd make 100F. Hovering around 98F and 99F, it was a close thing on those long September days in school. No a/c, fortunate if there was a fan in the classroom. Sheesh. We knew what to do. Stay still and drink water, no running around on the playground.<br /><br />Global warming my Aunt Fanny. :rolleyes:pontalbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435992388924639999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178879262286835294.post-66205964853235745272012-06-21T17:01:18.818-05:002012-06-21T17:01:18.818-05:00I didn't have time to respond properly to your...I didn't have time to respond properly to your blog before because of the crazy day at the office. <br /><br />I am 49 born in 1963. The generation of today doen't know what fun times are. I remember the highlight of my summer day was to wait for the ice cream truck to pass by my house so I could cool down. I would sit in a tree or tire swing and eat my ice cream and talk with my friends...no not texting...in person. Playing board games, running through the sprinkler, eating a cold watermelon under the beautiful Oak trees and taking in nature...yeah the heat too. We knew it was hot and had sense enough to do something about staying active yet healthy. If it isn't texted or emailed to you today, you don't do anything about it. <br /><br />Computers made people lose touch with reality oh and nature too.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318080634668942823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178879262286835294.post-17855294845770260672012-06-21T14:21:32.550-05:002012-06-21T14:21:32.550-05:00Thanks for the Blog Bob!Thanks for the Blog Bob!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318080634668942823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178879262286835294.post-49317277112508368642012-06-21T11:53:16.605-05:002012-06-21T11:53:16.605-05:00We played outdoors from early morning until the st...We played outdoors from early morning until the street lights came on...we knew when to drink fluids and when to stay in the shade...and we turned out pretty good...well some of us did HA!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673092138631244369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178879262286835294.post-32082327452308657962012-06-20T22:58:25.861-05:002012-06-20T22:58:25.861-05:00I hope the forecast for an easterly track for this...I hope the forecast for an easterly track for this system holds up - with my apologies to our friends in Florida! <br />By the way - seems like Dawn must be getting close to her blessed event.
