Global Warming? Just hot as hell!
Damn, as I took the kids to school this morning it was already 83 degrees and humid. My kids usually have on light jackets for the morning ride in the trailer, but today they just had on t-shirts. When I got to their school(6 miles one way) I was completely wet, and it is not even officially summer yet. The kids and I still had a blast and we were joined on the rode by quite a few other cyclist who commented on the heat. Gas has officially hit the $4/gallon mark nationwide and who cares because for the masses to really change it will need to hit the $10/gallon mark. Over the weekend I met a person who had actually received their stimulus check. I asked her what she planned on doing with it and she said put in savings for a rainy day. Oh well, so much for jump starting the economy. Let me tell you how ass backwards Baltimore, MD is. On Saturday the temperature was 100 degrees easily, so the kids and I went to the public pool in Druid Hill Park( That is where the band "Dru Hill"got their name from) to go swimming. I pull up to the the pool and it is completely full of water but no one was in sight. So I went to another pool across town and the same thing, full of water but the gates were locked. I asked a guy who was sitting on his porch across from the pool why was it closed. He informed me that the city of Baltimore does not open the pools, even on the weekends, until the school year ends. The pools have been filled since Memorial Day weekend. Stay cool!
