 dd 2 26

Severe weather forecast.. really?  well I actually checked the weather they're supposed to be snow showers at about 7:00 this morning,,,, severe weather?? I don't know but I don't think showers constitutes. Severe weather..  but the fact that we are 20° warmer the normal if that carries through to summer we're really gonna be in hot  water---- literally.

used to be. I spent my overtime worrying about the dogs being too cold in the winter and how could I possibly stash them in a place that would keep them warm if we happen to lose electricity on which the heat in the whole place is dependent.... I always worried how I could pack them in the house the deale house nutt house all of which had wood fireplaces.. but now I'm very concerned about the air conditioning keeping the dogs cool---- my overflow unit was the deagle house which had both a wood stove And a lot of big fans... it wouldn't be perfect but it would be better than nothing... and now having been demolished by service dog project... it's basically nothing at the moment.   It strikes me as foolish to eliminate that emergency kennel..  which would hold seven dogs by shutting the gate to the alley and putting a dog in the room More than that if you can double any of them up...  Being a much smaller area it's easier to heat then these places with the cathedral ceiling like the house the guest house the laundry building... all the heat goes up into that upstairs... Janine can tell you about trying to work at home in the loft of the guesthouse... but I think we need to show concern for the heat this summer...maybe make that deagle house operational again.. seems foolish not to....

 

  I think for lack of anything better to do today I'm gonna go out and see if Home Depot at Lowe's are offering great big fans at a bargain rate because it's winter.

Someone has already sent us a good fan with a Mr. Attached.. (mister)  because spraying water does cool...  and if it's not properly adjusted it not only cools you but it makes you soaking wet like you're working in the rainforest.. which is better than 120°...  Evaporation is a cooling process... that's one of those rules like water flows downhill and heat rises...  high school physics should be given more credit... and should be mandatory for all high school seniors.  I have gotten so much more out of my high school physics and geometry then the Spanish and Latin which I was forced to take . Just knowing that triangles don't wobble has proven to be a critical piece of knowledge so many times...   experience comes from bad experience... 

 

I have a blood drawing at 8:30 and a job at Newburyport adult care center at 10... we should make it....minus judy—

 She called to say she would be late depending on the flight..

  ??? the filght??? Where are you ???  Minneapolis with my brother.-----  Judys husband is a pilot ( retired) but she still flys all over  on an “as available”  basis.  So you never know—she is the one to go get a pup in Copenhagen and be home within 24 hours...so carlie or elizabeth will fill in....- that adult care center is pretty casual so a few minutes should be ok....it is not like they have everyone sitting in a circle waiting for us with the dogs...

 

That senior center is right near pannera for  lunch ( expensive but good)
