Another lovely day in Oklahoma. . .

After today, we're supposed to be in the 80s for the next 10 or so days. I hope that means the worst is over. Maybe the hangers on in my garden will actually give me something to harvest now.

It got a little better for a while here in the northeast, but we're back to heat advisory today - the whole "lots of fluids, check on your neighbors, etc." .

What does it take to get a heat advisory up there? My minivan claims it's 107F outside but it has a tendency to exaggerate like so many Texans do.

LOL!!!

Around here, it seems 105 heat index or higher triggers the heat warnings, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

[King Schultz]

Just turned on the weather channel. . . we're 99 with a 108 heat index and are under a "severe heat warning".

Lovely.

Good morning Jo!


Happy Friday! A little something for your breakfast. . .

As far as I can tell, a "heat index" of 100 or higher for two hours or more.



Right now, my town is at 95*, but the humidity is 62%, so it puts the heat index in the "orange" range.

My pleasure as always dear. .


As Sherry mentioned. we're supposed to get a break from the heat this weekend- I hope so.

For today's Word Of the Day I'd like to share with you a term I coined some years ago. I posted it on several occasions here on the Dis, so if this is a repeat for you, I beg your pardon.

The word is: pedifreeze. Word origin from pedestrian and freeze--i.e. when a cop yells "Freeze scumbag" It's a phenomenon that occurs regularly at WDW, and many other public places. You're walking on a pedestrian thoroughfare such as Main St USA, or perhaps the walkways at Epcot, when suddenly-and without warning--the people in front of you come to a complete halt. It's as if they have suddenly become statues with no regard to the thousands of people on all sides of them. In a sentence: "We were on our way to Casey's when the family in front of us did a pedifreeze, I nearly jammed my Mickey bar into the lady's backside!"

Love it Micca, rolls off the tongue better than 'rolling roadblocks' which is what I generally use.

My mother was notorious for it on my last trip, especially at airports. Nine flights and she did it for each one, infuriating everyone behind her by coming to a complete standstill when leaving the plane. I kid you not.

Just looked at the 10 day (plus a few) forecast for Oklahoma. Have a feeling it's goin' be all shorts and short sleeves when we fly down next Friday! Keep me informed, Willy.

Will do Kitty. . . so glad you're getting to see the grand baby sooner than expected, but it will be August in Oklahoma.

What date will you be flying in?

 

[Kitty 34]

We will be flying in Aug 19.........her original due date. Haven't flown in 4 years so a bit nervous about it.

I suggest a couple cocktails to help your nerves. .

I'll keep you updated on the weather. . . one good thing, it won't be the time of year we see severe storms, so that's good.

I always think it helps to get to the airport early. I don't like to be rushed.
What a wonderful trip this will be, congrats again!!

Don't forget a picture for us Kitty, if mum and dad allow it of course

I don't have Facebook but I know they have posted some pics of her. When I get back I will try (again!!) to post a pic of her and her old grandma!!!!

I agree, Gwynne, on getting to the airport early. I'd rather sit waiting for the plane at the airport and not stuck somewhere in traffic!

Didn't you mean a pic of her and her sweet grandma?

Getting a cocktail is definitely on my "to do" list when we get to the airport and possibly while flying!!
