[nagdu] heat revisited

[Larry D. Keeler]

And to Michigan as well!  I was out yesterday and temps were around 100.  I 
left Holly at home and everyone asked where Holly was?  I replied that when 
its hot I use a cane, and when it cools off it becomes a canine!

> Man... I really do wish for moisture.
> We just need a few days of slow, steady rain out here in Colorado.
> Definitely no thunder, lightning, tornadic or general winds.

> I've had to put off things, but tomorrow, I can't do that anymore.

> He obviously went into hiding.

> Yes, I really wish for the much needed moisture and a good cool down.

> I find that when I talk to him, it definitely helps the two of us.
