Fried Eggs, Anyone?

North Dakota is not known for egg frying heat on our sidewalks. We are more likely known for weather so cold that throwing water in the air on a 30 degree below zero day freezes before it hits the ground.

That being said I believe I heard on a local channel that this past July was the second hottest in Minot's history. I'm not sure if we officially hit a hundred degrees but we had a whole lot of 90's. That heat, coupled with a dry month, our lawns went dormant in a hurry. I also know that out electric bill doubled as we tried to stay cool.

How do you prepare for North Dakota weather?

Listen to the weather report for tomorrow... assume that there is a 25% chance it actually might happen.

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.

Good morning! We can't fry eggs on sidewalks either but maybe in the southwest!?

Maybe Kat Palmiotti . I'm glad that we can open our car doors without an oven mitt... usually.

Good morning again, Bob. July was the hottest month in history just about every where in the world this year. And let's not forget there is no AC in many homes in much of the world. (We had no A/C in our homes in Paris or London.)

Good morning Angel of the morning Nina Hollander, Broker . These days I am very thankful for AC but I'm sure I could survive with just a good fan as well.

Thank you Gwen Fowler SC Lakes & Mountains 864-710-4518 . I love summer but I've learned to enjoy the other three seasons as well.

I sure appreciate that you enjoy Timmothy's cartoons.

Good Tuesday morning, Bob.

We've had some really hot days in Maryland this summer. I am thankful for our air conditioning system!

When I was a young man I loved the heat Roy Kelley but now I love AC.

Although I have never tried it myself, I am quite certain that an egg really could be fried on the sidewalk here during the summer, haha.

I would think so Brian England , especially on black-top pavement. Even in the 90's I worry about my dogs paws when we go for a walk.

Bob "RealMan" Timm that is why I can't live in those hot climates like yours...lol

I love a good warm pool day. Above 93 and I am not happy (lucky it does not get there too often during our summers).

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty , good morning. According to fossil records ND was once a tropical area. Hard to believe but true. I guess they must have over polluted and caused global freezing. 🙃
