Unbearable Heat

-

Heat causes more deaths than any other natural disasters.  The heat in SW Florida has been almost unbearable.  It's not just heatstroke that causes deaths.  The pavement can get so hot that it actually causes burns.  If one falls, it's just not a fall that is dangerous.  Paramedics are now trained to minister to severe burns and other problems caused by the hear.  One woman says she has a pait of mittens in her glove box so she can actually touch the steering wheel of her car.  

The heat in Florida has not been that bad, but Cape Coral recordered the hottest Juky in history.  August hasn't been much better with relief from the heat not expected until October.  The rains haven't helped because the humidity plus the heat have made things even worse.  

It is true about drinking a lot water.  I gave a urine sample to be tested and my doctor asked me if I drank a lot of water.  I told him my cardiologist said I need to drink a half gallon of water a day.  But in the tropical heat, I probably was drinking close to a gallon a day.  When we go to the store to buy water, we often buy several gallons per visit, which is a couple of times per week.  We don't drink tap water as it comes out of the faucett luke warm for cold water.  

I imagine here in NY this week, I won't be drinking much water and the highs for the week are expected to be in the low 80's with temps at night being in the upper 50's.  But the northeast has been getting a lot of rain and that trend is expected to continue.  That is good for the well here and at least the tap water is relatively cold.  

Although I brought some Autumn Evening with me on our trip, I expect I'll be smoking my Prince Albert most of the time we are here.  I'll take back to Florida what I have left of Prince Albert.  I smoked the last of my Tropical Export before leaving Florida, but I left behind some tins of various tobacco I'll take back with me to Florida when we leave.  

In addition to my Gettysburg pipe I brought with me two Nording pioes, my Number 2 and my number 3.  I'll smoke some Autumn Evening while I'm here, but I am becoming familiar with my Prince Albert, which I am evaluating again and might write another review about it.  But today it is my Number 2 pipe with some Prince Albert that I have found has aged quite nicely.  The room note of Prince Albert is heavy in Burley and has a slight nutty taste with a hint of flavoring.  The flavoring is of Black Cherry and  this tobacco is considered an Aromatic.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
