My west coast brother has informed me that today is "Hot Enough for Ya?" Day to which I answer a resounding "Yes!" According to the weather person on last night's news the whole US is currently under a heat dome that will keep our temperatures in the 90s for the next several days.
It's a sad truth that the hottest summer days in north-eastern Indiana coincide with the busiest days for road construction and repair. My spouse and I drove out (in our air-conditioned car) to our favorite Amish bakery and grocery store late this morning. As we went, I tried to keep track of the number of orange and white barrels we passed - impossible. Obviously where there were barrels (and cones, also orange and white, not the ice cream kind) there were workmen looking, as you might expect, miserably uncomfortable as the temperature approached 90+ degrees. Those bright orange vests they wear are not air-conditioned.
One orange clad worker strolled right out in front of us as we approached an intersection with barrels on all four corners. I'm sure he trusted that we would slow down and of course my ever alert spouse did, but maybe the worker just thought that a broken leg might be a small price to pay for a stay in a nice cool hospital bed.
Who am I to judge?
