It's Been Hot Out!

Keeping in mind that Timmothy writes these cartoons a month in advance it's amazing how often he is spot on when mentioning the weather. The last three days Minot has set record high temperatures each day. The normal highs for early May is in the 60's but we have been in the upper 90's. That being said the forecast for the rest of this week will be below normal with even the possibility of frost over night. Personally, after a long winter, I like the 90's. 

I'm going to turn this back to a subject often discussed here which is first time home owners often run out and get that pet they have always wanted since childhood.

The rule in the Timm household is before an animal, or new breed of animal enters the house a book MUST be read so that the quirks and care of the animal is understood. Doing this makes for a better life for your new pet and in some cases it may alleviate an unnecessary veterinary call. ie did you know that guinea pigs will lose their teeth on occasion and grow new ones? Knowing that they are gnawing animals it can be scary thinking "oh no, he is going to starve to death".

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Wow, we haven't seen 90s yet in Georgia.  It's been unusually cool here the past week or so with an abundance of rain (also unusual)

Don Baker , as you know I am not a young man so when I say we have had 3 record days in a row I can also add I don't think that has ever happened before. I do however believe there have been consecutive cold record days in my lifetime.

That sounds like the rollercoaster we are headed for Hannah Williams . After today we are supposed to plunge downwards all the way to possibly below freezing.

Good morning, Bob... I can pass on all those pets except for dogs and cats! I'd never let a snake in my house.

I've never quite understood the appeal of snakes either Nina Hollander, Broker . When I owned a pet store we did not have snakes because the girls who worked there felt the same as you.

Wow, the 90s! We've had a few beautiful days in the 60s, which is perfect for this time of year!

We are looking at the 60's for today Kat Palmiotti and 50's and 60's for about a week now which is better than the 90's we have been having. Mid 70's would be perfect for me.

It gets pretty hot in Arizona, but it has yet to be hot enough that I thought about jumping into a mud puddle, haha.

Don't know I would put 'rats' in the top 10 pets but probably because of all my movie conditioning.  lol  Enjoy your hump day Bob.  m

Thank you Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho . I know rats are supposed to be highly intelligent but I agree with you... not in my house.
