early morning and carrying a water bottle. Smart girl.

Then she says to her kids, we will have to stay in the house Tuesday

and Wednesday because it's going to be too hot to go out!! Brainwashed girl.

What ever happened to letting the kids sit in the shade and read or

go under the hose. Now the kids think that when it's too hot they

have to stay in the house. More down time for them staring at the

tube or playing mind numbing video games.

Amazing how many of us survived the summer months, playing all

all kinds of games outside from morning till dark,going under the hose,

selling lemonade, having fun before AC was around or not being able

to afford a fan.


Listen to the news so they can tell us idiots how we should live in the Summer too. They have our best interests at heart, their not trying to bring in ratings and advertising $ or anything.

I thought the same thing Dave..too hot....paaaleeeeze

& every kid had in their back pocket a water spicket knob=================ssooooooooooooooo when ya were going home ============= up the higher end ==you could turn on someones water for a drink or a soaking

We would just get into a higher than average amount of trouble. Usually eneded up getting jumped by the West Rox or Hyde Park kids at the pool. They would be pissed when we went after their girlfriends


Clammer - thanks for reminding about the spicket knob

I also remember the odd friend passed out in heat stroke

Yeah, what ever happened to water pistol fights or even water pistols. Used to drink from them too ,with their distinct plastic flavor. They were like 29 cents, so you guarded it with your life if you were lucky enough to get one for the summer.

And 70 pounds of pack (light summer load) with 130 degrees, which they say is not a dry heat.

Good point Ed...
