Beware the Heat! In a double sense.

Beware the heat - that is a story with two different inputs.

The first:

Using matches to start my propane stove I often have placed 

the extinguished, used match stick ON top of the box.

Look what it did today. 

The heat SMOULDERED A HOLE in the box!

That easily could have led to a disaster had the heat ignited

all matches underneath!

Lesson learned!

From now on I will dip the used match stick into water, 

just to be on the sure side.

The other input:

This afternoon I gave Molly a bath 

to keep her cool during the heat of the day. 

92 °F (33 °C) is a bit too hot for our furry girl. 

But she didn't stay wet long. 

After an hour she was dry again and, 

I had to try a wet necktie around her neck, 

like I once saw Barbara do to her dog Katie.

MMMHHH - COOL! 

Worked fine on myself as well! :))

Tomorrow we'll be back in the 80ies - AHHH!
