My new apartment doesnât have central air conditioning. One could install a âportableâ a/c but I donât like them. Swamp cooler is nice for close range cooling, but with the extreme temp, I have to worry about Grace. So weâve decamped to my sisterâs house, nephewâs bedroom. đđ
@Miraz She is no fan of relocation, and will probably stay in the pigloo for the duration. Normally in hot weather, I donât put the pigloo out because they donât have much ventilation. But with air-conditioning, itâs safe and it is the favorite hiding spot.
I hope all pets in Portland are being well looked after.
@jean Heh, I just checked the temp there and saw 43 â thought thatâs weirdly chilly. Then I saw it wasnât in the F I was expecting for a US temp. 43C is blimmin hot! No wonder youâve decamped! Meanwhile we have a polar blast arriving later today. Already snow in parts of the South Island.
@dustdaughter The room is Celticsâ shrine. My sister and her husband are a mixed marriage (Boston and Miami) but agreed to raise their children as Boston fans. đ
@dustdaughter The 1972 Dolphinsâ undefeated season was a highlight of our childhood. When the 2007 Patriots nearly went undefeated, some family tensions surfaced. đ
@jean If you look closely in this Celtics shrine, you can see the Schweinsteiger scarf I brought him as a gift after a stint in Munich in 2011. Iâm not very knowledgeable about soccer so I asked my colleagues which player I should choose.
@josephaleo 18-0 but finally defeated vs. 17-0 undefeated let us split the difference so both sides have a claim to fame.
@jean Brilliant. They chose well for you. He ended his career playing for the Chicago Fire and he was a class act.
