We're Having a Heat Wave in the Mountains of Western North Carolina

 

Thank goodness global warning is just a misguided scientific fairy tale because if it was really happening I can’t imagine what the temperature would have felt like. As it was, driving through Canton, NC today after showing a house and writing an offer, I glanced down at the thermometer to see it register 105 degrees. Incredible! Something is seriously off kilter when the mountains of Western North Carolina are hotter than Florida.

This photo was taken last year when I burned off the dead wood on the property and now I have a pile twice as large. I had planned to take care of it this weekend, but frankly tending a fire in these temperatures just doesn’t seem like the best idea.

So, I thought I’d make light of the heat situation and embed a video of “We’re Having a Heat Wave” but I’m not a big Marilyn Monroe fan. You know how YouTube is though, you look for one thing and you find another…turns out that Heat Wave performing Boogie Nights brought back memories. The music still makes me tap my toes but I sure don’t recall those geeky outfits.

Try to keep cool everyone and let’s hope for relief soon from those terrible fires out west.
