https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Goldiec/My first blog in the middle of a pandemic when the world is turned upside down.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Goldiec/996415I'm happy to say it's cooler this morning. It's 73 degrees now, but we are looking for a high of 80 with a chance of storms this afternoon. I welcome the rain after the hot week we've experienced. I think the heat wave is over. They did say it will be very muggy, and it's foggy this morning. This...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Goldiec/996389Happy 4th of July! It's a sweltering day in the city. Our high will only be 88 degrees, but they are saying it will feel more like 100 degrees. As I've said every day during this heat wave, these temperatures are just not acceptable. Caeser went to the gym this morning to work out, and he pulled...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Goldiec/996370I know I sound like a broken record, but it's going to be another hot day with the heat index off the chart. This heat is interfering with the barbecues that I like to have during the summer holidays. They are reporting that it's dangerous to have fireworks during this extreme heat. I'm not sure...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Goldiec/996336I'm sitting here drinking my coffee and planning my day. This is one of those mornings when my coffee tastes exceptionally good. Every now and then, I get it just right. It's going to be a sunny day in the city, and we are expected to break a record again today. Our heat index may reach 107. It's...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Goldiec/996313Our heat index in Cleveland is off the charts today. It may get as high as 108. In one town near here, the index reached 110. That is just not acceptable to me. It feels like this heat will never end. I would be happy with a day in the 80s. Sadie is home today, and Caeser just took her outside for...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Goldiec/996288It's going to be a warm 105 degrees in the city if you count in the heat index. Caeser just came in from outside and said I wouldn't believe how hot it is. Sadie is at camp where they keep the building air-conditioned. On the news this morning, they were warning dog and cat owners to keep their...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Goldiec/996268The heat wave has arrived, and it's going to be 88 by noon. I have the air on, and the house is cool. I'm very thankful for that. My daughter Michelle is working at home today, and Sadie is here too. She goes to camp tomorrow. I don't have anything special to do today, so it will be an easy day....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Goldiec/996248It's a warm day in the city, but not as hot as it's going to be. They are giving warnings telling people to stay hydrated. As always, they are telling us to check on our neighbors, but I don't need someone to tell me that. I always check on my neighbors. My neighbor Skip is 95, and I talk to him...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Goldiec/996233It's a cloudy day in the city with a chance of rain. Our high today will be in the 70s. I saw the 8-day forecast, and it looks like next Wednesday will be 99 degrees. That's hot. I'm not looking forward to the heat moving in. I'm going to have my son-in-law install the bedroom air conditioner...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Goldiec/996209It's another beautiful day in the city. The sun is shining, and there is no chance of rain until later this evening. Our temps will be in the 70s. This is perfect weather for me. The humidity will be rising this weekend along with the temperatures. Today is recycling and garbage day, and our cans...
