Me too.  Two trees out front of our house badly needed trimming, 
so I got a relatively early start this morning--trying to beat the 
heat.  By the time I was done, I was whupped.

Sent this pic to a friend who's big time into theater, and told

His reply?  "Come hear the tale of Sweeney Ted."  Very clever.

I know, right?  Sitting in the trailer with the AC blasting just 
doesn't appeal.  I've been wondering if there are places north of 
here that might be cooler, but I bet we would have to drive a 
*long* way.  Grumble.
