In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

105° 

Yep, that's what it is in my little town. My little town on the west side of the Cascades. That means the wet side of the Cascades. It is not supposed to do this.

It is 106° in Tucson. 115° in Phoenix. That's desert country, but that still seems a wee bit excessive. Of course, those temperatures could be wrong. Weather.com says it's only 100° here. The bank temperature gauge would beg to differ if it weren't so hot.

I'm on the couch watching movies and sleeping. I spent the early part of the morning watering my garden and then finding people to stay with Linda today. Her caregiver didn't show up, and any number of people pooped out. I'm also reading John Sarno's new book The Divided Mind. If this was the first book I'd read of his, I wouldn't be impressed yet, but his Healing Back Pain saved my life over a decade ago, so I'm inclined to keep reading it. (I've given so many copies of this book away to people. It certainly changed my life.)

Okay. Back to sleep. Wait. There's the phone. 3 comments

105 in your town...104 in my little city. I already have cabin fever...I like to sit on my cool patio, which isn't cool right now. We might as well be in AZ, where I plan to be in Dec/Jan anyway. What's with Linda's caregiver? Can't he be there when needed? Crap. Wish I lived closer...I'd help you out.
Keep cool. Vickie

Global warming? What global warming?

Thanks, Vickie. We've got someone coming in on weekends now at Linda's so that will take the pressure off. Isn't it nice that it's cool today (Sat)? I'm looking outside and there are clouds. Yes!

Hi, Kevin! Hope it's not too warm in Hawaii. But even so...it's Hawaii. Something beautiful to look at at every turn. Say hello to Pele.
