We're On the Hot Seat      

   Not for anything we've written on Views.

   Not like Judge Kavanaugh's hot seat before 
the judiciary committee.

   No. Our air conditioning went out this morning. We're making do with our 6-inch portable fan, still waiting for the technician at 1:50 pm. 

   Our thermostat reads 87. 

   Meanwhile, Jimmy Procrastinator failed to check our yard sprinklers for many moons. We use well water. Tuesday we got around to it. 

   No less than 23 of them, about two-thirds, needed replaced.

   After three trips to the hardware for various components, and several hot hours of work - with temps in the 90s we can work about an hour before dark and two hours after daylight - we've replaced half the faulty sprinkler heads. 

   A common problem in our neighborhood is the lawn-mowing company, which is real good at nicking sprinklers just enough to crack them. 

   We hope you are cool and that this impromptu message reminds you to be thankful for your comforts - and that no one on national TV is asking you trap questions about something you said 16 years ago.

Update: 7:30 pm

The technician got our AC running again,

But we need a new model plug, whatever that is.

We're hoping to stay cool until the fix is complete,

Friday or maybe Monday.
